my experience has been mixed
Version 1 - a familiar story of sole detaching itself from the upper. after a mere 110 miles, which was about 5 outings!
Version 2 - upper fail at toe bend and grip worn out on the heel. 275 miles
also has the London road shoes which did 306 miles. the only thing holding them together at the end was the dirt.
on this evidence it looks like i should probably try some Cheviot3s
