Bought my 1st pair on base about to head off to war in 2003. They lasted through 3 deployments, walking across camp to the showers, during down time, and as house slides at home, up until now. A split is developing on the side. I can't find that model anywhere. This model is close, and just as comfortable. Great value for the time and use of the first pair, and expect the same for this pair.
