Yes they are a different sole. Flex can be easily flexed side to side with hands.. not so with this single waterlock.. like I stated.. really solid shoe built for crummy weather.

Waterlock is an overlooked sole, wears like iron, but feels like leather to me. Only thing I don't like is in winter, on ice.
