i bought my first sharpes around 83 and quite the opposite, they where sticky and soft and out performed mushy's on wear and comfort all day long the second pair i bought where the same but the next pair i got were a harder compound, i assumed that the change had gone from soft to rock as couldnt find any in 84 onwards that felt remotely like my early pairs
