I'm surprised by the negative reviews - maybe people are most inclined to post if they have a problem. I've been buying nothing but
Lugz Drifters for several years and every so often I have to make myself throw out a pair. I've only had one where the sole actually cracked across where it flexes. Other than that they last and last and last, they have always stayed comfortable even long after they're too beat up to wear anyplace decent. I even wrote to the company once to suggest that they should put the shoelace size in their website catalog as I never seemed to get the right kinds of replacement laces. They wrote back and told me to send the number inside the shoe tongue (I did so for four different pairs I own) and they sent me two new pairs of laces - theirs are better than the cheap ones from the store - and at no charge. I'm a
Lugz fan and I don't even bother looking at anything else, not with the luck I've always had with
Lugz.
