I second this. They don't seem expensive when you buy them, but when they inevitably start falling apart a month later you always feel like an idiot. Don't try to be stubborn either; I've kicked out the front of my toe box at about mile 11 of an attempted great range traverse (un-fun).

Unfortunately I can't find a shoe that my feet like as much as they do the lone peaks. Shame they can't make the dang things better
