I've had and loved my Spires for about 1 1/2 years. The treads are now separating from the sole in chunks. I have never seen this on any shoe. I'm just a day hiker so it's not from heavy duty backpacking. They are basically done for.
I already did one of these reviews but will do it again. I bought these hoping for the same fit and quality as the Raptors I own. The quality appear great so don't want to make it sound like they fell apart, I wore them for a week on daily 4 mile easy hikes in my local forested park, the same hike I have done for years with my dog. I developed almost immediately on the left foot and inflammation of my metatarsal which has not been an issue for me before and I was wearing my orthotics in these shoes, after 4 days I developed bilateral shin splints and that is when I decided these were not the shoe for me. I don't like returning used gear but these were not inexpensive and you have to try them out and I did. I will stick with the Raptors but they are always sold out when I look.
I've been wearing these for several months now. I hike with dogs for a living and I love these shoes. So far have held up very well. I've definitely been in all terrain and they have been comfy, good traction and overall a good hiking shoe. I did order them 2 sizes to big and I've had to make them work but that was my fault. I went off my Sportiva boot size instead of the shoe size. Overall, highly recommend.
Good comfortable shoes. Unfortunately I ordered them a bit too large. I guess I can wear thicker socks.
