I've worn in a while...Really great for actually skateboarding in, I got the suede ones, not hemp. After a month or so they ripped a little but I glued them one time and skated them hard for another six months without any issues! I have literally worn down the outsole on the toe all the way to the sole and it is still holding up and skating great, like magic. Very comfortable shoe with plenty of padding but not too bulky or heavy. Could not destroy them no matter how hard I tried. Just went back and bought another pair instead. This is the only shoe that I want to skate in, worth every penny.
