In a word, YES.
They are worth it.
I watched a guy one night step on a piece of pizza that was left under the seat after a birthday party. He peeled his sole off, threw it in the trash, and found another sole.
I had a vision that if it had been my Linds, I would have had to replace the pair of shoes.
I went out the next week and bought Dexter SST V.
And I had worn linds since 1974!
