text: Not the same shoe as it was several years ago, I had to return due to the soles on both shoes falling apart after two wears.  This was two regular wears to the office and airport and not rock climbing are even remotely stressful of the shoes.  The soles on the previous version was mostly leather but these are now with a majority synthetic bottoms.  Too bad, they went cheap to an extent to ruin what was my staple shoes for 10 years.
