I bought these to replace an old pair of the same size that I had used on and off for years, mainly on a treadmill.  The new ones are not as good as the old ones in terms of padding, especially of the foot bed.  One of the eyelet holes of the old pair had torn out, so that's why I bought these. I'll keep the old ones around for wading shoes and wear thicker socks when I walk the treadmill with the new ones.  I doubt that I will replace the new ones with another Rockport Pro Walker pair when they wear out, because it seems to me that the Rockport brand does not stand for the same high level of walking comfort that it once did.
