4.0 out of 5 stars So far GREAT product with short break in period, September 9, 2009

I have had these for a few weeks and they keep getting better. The first two days I used them (the break in period) was necessary to soften the skeleton in the sole of the shoe. Since I pronate some it seemed the inner edge of my heel nearest the arch made constant contact with the plastic footbed where it rises slightly. Once this area seemed to break in and give a little more the hot spot went away. I have been reaping the benefits of this great runner ever since. The sole has very good wear characteristics, the relief cuts in the tread are not cracking or look to be a potential weak point - I would say the sole is; flexible & grippy, yet does not transmit the sharp edges of terrain to your foot. The material is very resistant to trail damage while being protective in the thick areas around your toes and heel cup. Also so far the waterproofing doest not allow water through even though it does not shed off - the material may look wet but you are comfy, dry, and well ventillated in spite of the waterproofing in the material. If this keeps up I may buy another pair!! UPDATE 10/08/09 - shoes no longer water resistant, they have not been washed or treated in a way this should occure so quickly but that my latest news.

I walk 4-6 miles a day, 3 days a week while alternating 3 days with a Merrell boot. With nearly eight months in the shoe, I must say that it is the MOST comfortable athletic shoe I've ever worn. I bought it for its weather resistance but have not really used it preferring the Merrell boot for rainy days. The design is unique as there are no hot spots or rub spots like in all the shoes I've had in my lifetime. They feel like a comfortable slipper due to the sock-like design and much of the time you don't feel like you're wearing shoes, thats how comfy they are!

This shoe was recommended by my personal trainer and I have to admit at first I was skeptical but after using for 6+ miles a day for a month - I LOVE THEM! I was skeptical because the available sizes forced me to go to a man's shoe where I'd grown accustomed to buying ASICS in wide and long sizes for women. Also my PT had vetoed several of my selections of trail runners because of the mesh and she is admittant that wet feet make for miserable training. Well with WRX my feet are dry and the support is fantastic... Have bought 3 more pairs to last me through 2010.
