Larry,
I have just about 1 year on my Streamborn boots. They are awesome. At my size I need a sturdy boot and you know how much I abuse my gear. I use the felt and the studded sole and they both are wearing well.
Just be careful to get the current generation as last year theere were some great deals on the prior generation that had problems with the soles popping out. I have had no such problems with my curent generation streamborns.
ditto on the sand factor, not bad at all.

The studs on the soles seem to be a few short.Like in the middle of the instep.Very important area when you step to that top of the mountain rock.There and in the tip of the shoe.It helps to have something there when stepping up on a rock.I added 5 carbide stud screws. This also helps to keep em on. |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Hey NIBs, where'd you get the carbide stud screws  |

I've been beating the hell out of my cross currents all season and I love 'em. If they were to disintergrate tomorrow (and they will not), I'd buy another pair tomorrow night.
Great products!
