I just tossed mine in the trash bin this week. Waiting for me to take them to the dump. The tops had finally seperated from all that rubber on the bottom. Rode them duct taped together for a while. Didn't see them anywhere in my size (13). Found some Merril's with a Vibram sole that fit nicely in clips & are pretty stiff. Certainly don't look vintage but I'm happy with them. Found them in that size at a close out/overstock place. I was very happy with mine, bought them in the spring of '80. A 400+ mile trip along the upper Mississippi in '06 in 100+ degree heat did a number on them. Kinda nursed them from that point forward.
