Would be super grateful for your expertise dating my Strands. Sincere thanks in advance!

For those who might find it interesting, I am documenting my visit to Shoe Bank in a separate thread.

Happy thanksgiving to all!

The insole shows definitely made sometime after 2013, but before 2017. I would guess 2014-2015. The style number ends in a 5, so that means they are probably before 2016 as they were still using the last number at the end of the number (65 last). I know they are not before 2013 because after 2012, the shoes no longer read "made in USA" and instead read, "handcrafted..."

Sincere thanks! This is extraordinarily helpful - and entirely consistent with your guesses all along.

It's unfathomable that I just bought a nearly decade old pair of NOS Walnut Shell Strands...
