Have you heard any horror stories of the new ones being made in China and falling apart? I saw some cheap ones on Amazon.com but everyone is complaining about the quality.

I have the same ones. I love them too. Even with the adjustment, it took a while before they broke in enough to get them on over my leathers. I had to zip them up with a pair of pliers for the first few track days. But now I have no problems at all with them.

They are my every day boots as well as track boots, so I am a little worried about the soles wearing out. I have heard that Sidis are bad for that. They are almost a year old and still holding up well though.

Yeah Chris found his soles wearing quickly when he wore his Verts daily.
