Extremly comfortable!
Just two weeks of use but they felt really soft and comfortable. Using them for walking/hiking not on extreme terrains. The brand is great, the price can't be better ($50), Materials seems pretty good. Oh, just make sure to find the ones that fit you. In my case, my size is usually 10, this time I went 10.5 as many people told me, and it's true, it fits better. I'm really satisfied with this purchase.Can't say nothing about durability.
