Wow, 18 years! I've gone through 3 steps probably in the same amount of years. The threading area on mine were either worn away or had bubbled up and found them unsafe to use.
Other than a few minor differences, not much. I think the newer one is a stronger plastic and there was something about the rubber feet/? that was made better.

I wondered the same thing. Hoping the shock absorption is better & rubber matting has more grip. I did end up ordering new step though.
I, too, have had the original STEP (w/pink/purple risers) forEVER, probably abt 15 (maybe even more??) years!! Mine is still going, but lately have noticed more leg/foot fatigue - kinda like when you can tell you need new cross trainer or running shoes.
Couldn't resist getting a shiny, more modern new one! Plus the discount closed the deal for me!
BTW: my high step, which is fairly new, is the one that the rubber mat is coming up, not my old step! Curious to see if newer is really better quality...

I kind of want the new one----I had purchased my husband a new step last year to use during STS and when we got it, the mat on top started to peel (and we hadn't even used it!). He has had to glue it down several times-GRR!
I hope someone posts soon who gets the newest one to let us know about the quality.....

THat's why I'm not getting rid of my old one until I've had the new one for awhile. Old is somtimes better quality....You should really return the step w/peeling mat...that's not right. My high step started doing that after I used it for some time (but not before use!), but I don't really use much anymore so I never bothered.

I'm having the same problem. I haven't had my high step for a year yet and haven't used it a nearly as much as my step.

I'm glad I read this thread. I have had my green and pink Step since 1989 and was tempted by the new offer. However, there is nothing wrong with my Step, except the color. I think I will spend the money on something else

I've had my original step for 15 years, too. It is still in amazing condition (although I only wear "indoor shoes" only on it). I have a sentimental attachment to it, I guess. I also have the high step.
But I have to ask...what discount? Is this a step Cathe has on the website?

Jonezie,
It's a new stronger step they just introduced. How's Willoughby?

Linda!! Helllooooooo! He is ON FIRE today. Full of mischief! PS...I posted a couple of photos of him in Philly on the Thinking of Moving thread, if you're interested.
Talk to you soon!

I was confused when I saw the announcement of the new step. It looks exactly like the black club size step I already have (had a few years). is it the same as the regular black club step that was sold before?
