+1 from an Aussie , ive had mine 18 months now and just starting to show a bit of neglect, just in process of having a 2nd set sent over to AU as they are too good to let go by.
i use the mid season nubuck leather model, love it.
sole is deadly strong, even on the rocks in NZ, theytake a bit to break off the tread or wear it down. its rather hard which is a good thing imo.
