For those of you not in tune with Scott. Scott has aligned themselves with another clothing mfg company (the name is escaping me now, it might be Reima) and is clearly going after the high end product range. That being said, I suspect that this allows them to design and sell the product as intended w/o making big compromises due to cost cutting, as was the case with the original Scott (and other plastic boots of the '80s). I suspect that the new boots are made of some nylon type material that may actually be safer than leather because it may not be a prone to memory (as in the hard creases and folds that develop in leather).
