I purchased my first pair of the Sense Ride 5 GTX almost two years ago and bought another pair to replace them. (The fact that I purchased them a second time tells you something already) I have never had a pair of shoes fit better than the Sense Ride series, and the 5's are no exception. I have spent hours hiking, running, and walking in these shoes, and I have no complaints. They support my foot well and allow for a plush-yet sensitive feel. The previous pair I owned worked well, but after two years of steady wear the tread was mostly gone of the front and the fabric where the heel enters the shoe was ripped and worn (I still have the shoes and they are perfectly wearable). I had a slight problem a few months ago with the bottom rubber starting to peel off slightly, although a bit of shoe glue purchased from the hardware store fixed the issue. Overall I like the shoes and I couldn't be happier! P.S. Yes, they are waterproof, I have intentionally stepped in many puddles just to show off, and the only time my foot got wet was when the water went above the shoe, drowning my socks and my dignity)
