Yeah they used to be better when the the lace bit and tongue were one piece. I wore them for years but then same thing, the last pair with the new design wore out much quicker.
I got a pair of the ashley steel caps which are pretty good if you don't mind a bit of extra weight. They have better tread in my opinion, didn't care for the buller style tread and found them a bit slippery when sidling.
