shoe advice: adidas/do win/botev

Okay, I know this one has kinda been done to death, but it's time for me to get some new shoes and I was hoping to get a little advice from the experts out there...

I have been lifting with the white 3-strap Adidas shoes for almost 4 years now and most of the straps have finally broken. With the AdiStars, Do Wins, and Botevs being so close in price, I'm trying to get some input to sway me. Personally, I love the feeling of having the straps wrapped nice and tightly across the tops of my feet. For that reason, I'm leaning towards the Adidas or Do Win. For anyone commenting on Do Win, please let me know which model(s) you wear and what you like about them. Anyone that can comment on Adidas vs. Do Win or Botev would be extremely helpful. Oh, and how bout durability? Any comments there?
Thanks in advance.
