"Olu Kai. I have worn these every day, for hours, for 6+ years. Walk, ride boards, worked, beach use. Like really hard use and the only thing worn out is the neoprene. Tread and strapping are still in great shape. Looking into how to replace the neoprene"
Sure hope you enjoyed being the idiot of the day.
My neighbors have a light bulb that is well over 100 years old and still works. Would a new bulb provide better light and consume less power? Sure. Would it be as cool? Never. :-)
