Good point Scott, not all the Sidi's feature replaceable soles, My 
next to last pair did not and wore through. My B2's wore like Iron, 
but were sacrificed in my august crash.
It was when I was replacing them and still waiting for the ceramic 
button toe sliders for my vertigo's that the shop started getting in 
the new alpinestar boots.
