The Margiela mids get a lot of flack on the internet for not being as nice as the highs or even the lows, but I bought them a while back and haven't had a complaint. I beat them up pretty bad and I found that they look so much better when they are old and beaten up. I did notice that they creased really easily around the toe, but again I personally think that they look better that way so I perceived this as an advantage.
