Well, I have to say that I’ve been using the Wave Riders for quite a few iterations, and have found them just as durable as anything else I’ve used - Asics Nimbus, Brooks Glycerin come to mind - I seem to get the usual 400 miles before I start feeling the cushioning is shot, which I don’t think is too bad. I’m quite easy on my shoes, always have been, the rubber never wears to any great extent, so they always look better than they feel at that point. Just my .02c. I’ll pick up a pair of the new ones tomorrow. Inteestingly, I’ve found the sizing varies a bit between each new model, I think I’ve used 9, 9 1/2 and 10 at various times.
Cheers
