I love my Dynorooz. So far it's been 6 months and they look new. I just now cleaned the sole and got off the dirt off the slide sole with some 409 and they look brand new. I just got the leather slide sole and cut it out for my sole. One beef with them is I hate the trim around the sole, makes putting on the sole a little more difficult compared to Dexter's otherwise I think the quality is much superior to Dexter's high end shoes which I got a whopping 6 months out of them before the push off foot ripped apart.
