I was afraid that I'd gone thru this exercise before, but my search didn't turn up my prior thread..or maybe I just got tired of looking...

This issue rears its head whenever I try to replace the Forte CR300's that I have worn for years.
They are flat out the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and I have re-glued the soles several times. But, they are getting close to just wearing out.
The shoes in question are earlier Forte CR200's and CR210's. I see them come up for sale occasionally, but never the 300's in my size 48. I'd buy 'em if I saw 'em.

I can clearly remember what I did 40 years ago, but am unable to remember whom I related it to....yesterday.
2 years ago falls into a fuzzy area.............
