As for holding up, my Logger's hardly show any wear on the vibram sole and with a bit of regular cleaning still look as new and that was with being used regularly. I also find them to be extremely comfortable after being broken in.
Only problem with most Vibram soles is poor grip when it's wet, although they don't wear much. I prefer a softer sole which gives me an excuse to buy a new pair when they wear out!
