I used to complain about the padding around the ankle being so thin. However today I got a pair of '94 White Cements and to my amazement theres even less padding on them than the '11 retros.

I wouldn't be able to speak for the '88 but I'm pretty sure they did have minimal padding. I've seen pictures where it appears to have no padding.Originally Posted by sthebest

Unfortunately I can't wear mine so I wouldn't be able to tell you which is more comfortable.

I had the 94s and while they were comfortable, it wasnt a noticeable difference from the 01 and 11 IIIs. And your right, the 2011 IIIs do have a cheap pleather on tounges and on the leather thats right above the elephant print (white cements excluded because the leather was a smooth buttery tumbled leather) IOriginally Posted by green rhino123

The '94's are more comfortable.
The ankle materials and cut are different. Same goes for the '85 & '95 1's vs '01's.
All the 2011 3s have a cheap vinyl type material around the ankle and the shoe is lower cut.
