+1 These have a lift in the heel. If you get below a certain shoe size they are called Ladystar, but are exactly the same. Waterproof & warm. On days over 95F they are hot.

That 26k figure is wrong. It has been kicked around (I think it is in the service manual), but the owner's manual says 15k. I had mine done then and they did need some adjustment.
