Hi, The black Islay boots have a durable Vibram sole, but the brown ones do not. Do you know why? Is it possible to order a Vibram sole for the brown boots?
@MisiuAcademy13 күн бұрын
Why do you call it a more durable? I don’t know if you can do MTO with Crockett but it will be expensive.
@nomos650813 күн бұрын
@@MisiuAcademy Vibram soles are considered among the most durable for several reasons. They are made from a special rubber compound designed to withstand harsh conditions. This material is known for its toughness and resistance to wear and tear, making them last longer than many other types of soles. The advanced technology used by Vibram also plays a crucial role. Vibram soles feature unique tread patterns and rubber compounds that enhance their durability, grip, and overall performance. These patterns are specifically designed to provide exceptional traction on various surfaces, from rocky terrains to slippery streets, which improves safety and reduces excessive wear. Vibram soles undergo rigorous testing in both laboratory and real-world conditions, proving their effectiveness in extreme environments. This high-performance reputation is backed by the many brands and professionals who trust Vibram. Additionally, despite their toughness, Vibram soles offer great comfort by absorbing shock and providing good support, which also contributes to their longevity.

My friend your comparing a $250 shoe to your bespoke shoe. Is that a fair comparison? What are you going to be charging for your shoes? when comparing anything you should compare apples to apples. There really isn’t much competition in the $250 price range for Goodyear welding and leather souls with full grain leather uppers. For what they’re charging I think they’re doing very well. as soon as the quality starts to go up, so will the price.

Bought these discounted from one Spanish store after watching multiple reviews. Out of the box they look chiselled but after a few walks they lose the edge a bit. Definitely go for your regular size. They are reasonably comfortable but due to the pointiness an slight shortness they are not as comfortable as for example Conistons. They look good though and are currently my go to shoes when it´s raining. Not for a super long walks yet, they need time.

I find it always surprising how little attention the last shape is given in such reviews. For instance a comparison of the last form between 325 and 365 and its outlines would be very useful so ppl with certain types of feet can decide which is better for them avoiding pressure points in the toe box area and so on. But many if not most customers would never admit that the last is not well fitted for them. Most customers would rather keep wearing a shoe destroying their feet instead of actually buying a shoe made on a suitable last. That said 365 is the most anatomical last of CJ and its too bad they only make a boot on it!

@@MisiuAcademy Well the 365 must be used on shoes as well by CJ. It's the only last with a low instep and wide asymetric forefoot/ toe box. This type of shape anatomical design allows for a sleek looking boot to fit wider feet without looking bulky like some country style brogue boots. The 325 has a much higher instep a less wide fore foot which is a no go for many ppl when you look at GMTO threads on the styleforum. One group of ppl never order anything in 325 but will order everything in 365 and vice versa.
