Anonymous addition from manufacturer?

The first 3 sentences below were added 2013/9/9 by an anonymous user, the last sentence was added 2013/10/8 by me.

As of 2013, Dunlop has revised the "Volley International" back to its 1970s version exactly , with classic thin rubber sole with completely flat heel. The classic "early 1980s basketball boot" Volley has also returned, as the "Volley High Leap". These and other variants are available for direct internet sale from Dunlop Volley's official sales website, www.volley.com.au. However, an October 2013 inspection of the various models sold in a department store found that all models on sale still had the much softer sole condemned as failing within 3 days in the references above, and there is no documentation at www.volley.com.au indicating that the soles of the online models are any different from those sold in stores.

The first 3 sentences are useful in that they included the info that the basketball boot models are now available, but it is very important to make clear that there is no documentation supporting that the massive soft sole issue has been rectified re online models, and given that there are no claims that the online models are different from the store models and that all models on sale at Big W have soft poorly made soles (with prominent mold marks), the online models are probably still completely inadequate too.
