This is my second purchase of this series of shoe (previously, the 991's). I like the fact it is made in the USA and seems to be good quality.
Although these are expensive shoes, my last pair lasted 4-5 years and that is my expectation with these. Most of the cheaper shoes ($50-$79) are marketed for "6 months" before they end up in a landfill.
These shoes have good cushion, and are comfortable.
