I've loved this shoe. Very durable. I've used it for 9 months but now grip is gone. (Over 350 hours) The grip surface is totally melted. If the surface is dusty also, this is really an issue. I move a lot in and out of the table, spinny attacker from both wings. The grip is very important since you have to place your foot strongly. If the place where yoy play has a GerFlor (good and grippy surface), you won't have a problem. But in a gym or a sport arena like basketball arena, you will have problems when the grip is melted.
