Considering only my weight (120 pounds) I will certainly put not much pressure on them, and also I run very gently and slowly, nothing extreme at all, and I don't do any trail running either. I plan on wearing them to walk and at the gym (where I jump a lot so it would be good to have this pillow-shoe on my feet). I guess they should last! I will tell you later!

I really loved these ULTRA when I first saw them and I would like to buy them, but I'm very concerned about the durability level of the Resagrip outsole, since it's foam, right? I've read lots of reviews praising the shoes, but also pointing out the super quick wear of the sole. How have these shoes turned out for you? What can you comment on this durability issue? The guy from Fellrnr.com told me "they will wear quite quickly, so the cost per mile is likely to be higher than most shoes", and the ultra-runner Robert Youngren told me that they, in fact, do tend to wear a bit quicker than a lot of shoes because they don't have rubber at all but, overall, "they are exceptional despite the durability", which really confuses me because sport shoes should be durable. I see you are a "brand ambassador", but I guess you can give an honest opinion about it.
