I've been wearing Florsheim Comos exclusively for probably over 40 years because they wear out after about 2 wears and keep their hold for about 5 years. Recently my feet have become more sensitive, so very hard shoes don't work. I've seen reviews where it felt like the quality was suffering. I have 2 pairs, black and oxblood, both new - one direct from Florsheim, the other from Revain. So far I see no difference. They look good and feel good. The time will show.
