Fifth pair over the years. This version has improved middle lace holder/ pull strap which works well to keep laces pushing against a reinforced tongue. More rubber around the heel. Tongue is shaped more on a curve which adds to the comfort allowing the top laces to feel more even around the ankle vs older models. Hope they are more durable than the last few pairs. They wear out faster than a leather boot, but you can win a foot race around the block with the feather weight yet super supportive. I wear these to work in a construction trailer all day every day , walk an urban mile or two daily at lunch and hike in them on weekends in woods/ rocky trails. Great in the snow and slop.
