Yeah.. my shimano mtb shoes are ~ 14 years old and still totally functional. The tread is too worn down for proper offroad traction, and they're ugly as hell, but otherwise they're great. And they went through several years of heavy race/group ride use back in my first iteration of mtn biking obsession.

That said, the Dominators are far more comfortable than the Shimano shoes ever were. I love my Shimano SH MP-66's for city use, however.
