The OP's original shoes are Miura VS which is a different shoe than regular Miuras. Boostics are Scarpa's equivalent of Miura VS.

The leather could be from an heirloom cow or wild yak herd sacrificed at midnight on the Mongolian steppe in keeping with local traditions and best practices. Maybe the rubber could be lovingly sourced from shade grown fair trade organic rubber plantations that support local economic development in the third world. Laces could be cat gut salvaged from spay and neuter clinics from inner city vets trying to control rampant feral dog and cat populations. Think about it, Five Ten could become a legitimate shoe company again.

You know how there is the "Best of Craigslist", can there be the "the best of MP post"?
Also, I'm really trying to not get leather shoes again.

I would totally support a kickstarter campaign that did this. A+
