Has anyone had any experience with them? In particular, is their performance any better than Fires (enough to justify the $90 price tag)? Do they last any longer than Fires (I've been going thru almost two pairs of shoes per season)? -- stu mcgraw -- Stuart McGraw ARPA or CSnet : sjm0%gte-labs.csnet@csnet-relay UUCP: ...harvard!bunny!sjm0
