i used to live in the old model 811 of this shoe and went with the change when the model changed to the 812's.

they seemed like the same old quality shoe i was used to but they are not.

after just a couple of weeks of wear the first pair began to develop a crack in the right shoe's sole. within a couple of months it was a split making them useless in the rain.

fool that i am i figured it was bad luck and i got a second pair- 3 months later they have the same split in the same place on both soles.

i have seen others online reporting the same issue and i will not be buying these shoes again. it is a shame because the 811 was such a fine shoe.
