How is the durability of the rubber on these shoes (especially if you are out on grit a lot)? Do they last as well as the C4 & Onyxx or wear a lot quicker due to the soft, sticky nature of them?

I wasn't aware the dragons had their own special compound?

Yup. Stealth HF (High Friction). Don't know myself, as I've never had a pair.

I've had three pairs (the first of which were unfortunately cut off my feet), the second lasted a 6 month trip but are now a bit rounded and the third are still painfully tight.

To sum up, I haven't noticed them wearing quicker than anything else Five Ten based recently this has been Anasazi velcro's and blanco's (I can't remember which rubber they have either).

Did you know there's over 800 varieties of Eucalypt?  How varied a diet is that ??!!
That's in Australia though.  My garden's only got one.

 :( gosh, with only one that must get a bit bland on the food front. Tried them with a little Tabasco?

recently they came out of a box that had been up there for years but this could get pedantic.
