Why would anyone buy a Lone Peak 5 made of materials “inspired” by the original, if the makers of the shoe have presumably stopped using those materials for good reason. I realize I am kind of venting rather than asking a question.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />  But I was surprised to see that the world of fashion and image plays a part in something as unglamorous as trying to find a shoe that won’t wreck your feet while you walk.</blockquote>
