Wear and tear is inevitable when you're working it which is why The North Face Ultra Kilowatt Shoes are reinforced in high-wear zones allowing them to hold up over time.

Vibram® technology is utilized (sans the whole FiveFingers business) to give you a grippy feel and exceptional connection to the ground below.
