Jesus fuck, the corporate sales machines are eating into everything. All this flimsy material perfect for fancy advertising and forcing people to buy a new pair after a few hundred k's.
Meanwhile it turns out a simple straightforward leather design is still miles better for durability and true lasting waterproofing. Except now those options in high quality are buried down the list and take a fortune to find and purchase.
