nice relax, cool boots

So I'm planning a pair of Smoke Jumpers but I think the Vibram 100 sole may be a bit much for me. I do quite a bit of walking but it's all on pavement. Vibram 430?

[SpaceGnome]

430 or 700.  700 is more suitable for urban use, the 430 is good for the occasional off-road excursion.  I have 700 on mine now and like it, might get the 430 next time around though

[unharmed]

Thanks, SG. I'd just decided on the 700 in my head

430 looks real good though…

Too many decisions with Whites - I have choice paralysis 

[nicecrackaction]

I have to second Mr. SpaceGnome. A double (or triple) leather sole without any rubber is also an option.

In the wet it could be a hazard though, even on pavements 

Don't ask me though, I wear boots that turn an already tall dude into something looking like one of the aliens from Avatar

That becomes the challenge! I strongly urge you to make White's your priority though. They're quite special.

me neither, but if you want to look at all options, a no-rubber version is also to be considered. That will only look good in proportion, if you order at least a double leather sole. as long as we are talking about lace-to-toe anyhow, as the regular cut looks a lot less beefy.

430 great for rain and motorcycle  700 soso 269 pain in the ass on wet

[nicecrackaction]

Btw. I have seen Vibram Montagna or Kletterlift on a pair of White's a while ago, which seemed like a good alternative to the 100.

[unharmed]

I like the idea of a leather sole but I have a couple of other boots with them and they're too treacherous on the wet pavements here for me. I think it will be the 700 or the 430. I need to find my damn tape measure first of all though.

[demonito]

choose right

[unharmed]

I haven't even settled on leather choices yet

Whites wanted me to MAIL actual pieces of PAPER to them so I'm going through Bakers instead.
