I recently bought their mountain elites and IMO they are stiffer than my Kenes were when new. I have a lot of miles on the Kene Mtn Extremes and they have softened up over the years. The L&S have more stiffness in the sole and much more in the side flex around the ankle. I have done a couple training hikes with them and so far no issues.
