I've got a few pairs of Airstreams and I know what you mean. I find that the firmness goes with enough wear and the tread grips fine once it's been softened by use.

 

How much wear are yours getting? I would've thought after 6 months they'd be fine. I wear mine probably 10 or more hours a day during the week, 4/5 hours a day at weekends so they do wear in quickly for me, both at work and hiking, walking the dog, pottering about the yard. A month is enough for mine to loosen up and grip properly

Hmmmm, yeah I thought they'd have worn in by now (worn most days up to 10 hours, for almost 5 months) that's why I've carried on with them-final straw was actually slipping over on the cobbles walking down into Clovelly though! Maybe their just not for me, they're also super heavy IMO.

 

My boss has used Eltens for years and says they are super comfy, am gonna try his sons pair and see how I feel in them.

 

Ta for all the feedback, guess it's each to their own!!!
