That may be true today, but it wasn't always true. Back when I first started, twenty-eight years ago, I bought two pairs of Spot Builts. This was back when officials shoes looked, and were constructed, more like shoes than like sneakers. They took a mirror-like polish, that lasted. and lasted. I had the soles replaced several times, and went through several pairs of shoelaces. Finally after about a dozen years, yes they lasted that long, the uppers started to weaken. I loved those shoes. The only bad part was I had to fill in the white spot on the back of each shoe with a black marker, otherwise they were perfect.
