I do - there where a few years when i didn't ride that much, but my
shoes have been used at least 4 days a week for 10 years. The soles
are not nice anymre and iv've changed the buckles ones, the thecho
straps twice and the iner sole onece. However the shoes themselves are
still in perfect condition and has the same fit and shape as in 93.
