got mine in 84, still going strong - I even have an extra set of 'new' original felt secondary insoles hanging around. And the answer is definitely NO, I won't give them away or sell them, or even trade them for food - now a Yarbrough is a different kind of trade (I am not even going to ttry to get on the list - who's idea was it to only offer 970 to 'prequlified' SF guys???).
