          @elclintor:

          what is a "celastic toe box" and do i need it?

          NO, you don´t need it…some guys do, some don´t! imo it´s just so your toe box keeps its shape instead off wearing out along with the rest of your boot!

          here´s how a "standard" celastic toe box looks from the inside:

          urb´s boot has a "single" celastic toe box:

          and this pair has "no" celastic toe box:
          new

          worn

          the celastic toe box option does give your toes a bit more room though (well, i guess) and if you want your toe box to still have that shape even after some months of wear, you might want to go for a "single" celastic toe box…if you like to have that "flat" look on your toe box, you might want to go without a celastic toe box! looks better imo and not that "bulky"...

              Mine have a celastic toe box as well and don't look that bulky.

              I think urb's looks that way cause they are "plain to toe"!

                                        I am pursuing the double midsole for aesthetics as well…the boots look so much more substatial. So I guess the walking style in double mid sole would be a little different than a single sole, but wouldn't feel uncomfortable? Would it be like a pair of dress shoes or far less flexible. I would have thought the inflexibility of the sole would contribute to discomfort. I hope it doesn't feel like I am wearing shoes made of wooden sole. Is it possible  to get a single leather midsole + rubber midsole + the undersole.

                                        Am I correct in this thinking…just wanted to confirm as I will be placing my order shortly.

                                            All my dress shoes are more flexible. however, as pointed out earlier by Mega, your roll your feet with double midsole White's and to me that feels natural enough.

                                            I haven't seen any double rubber soles and don't think they are available. depending on your home climate you could also go with a pure leather sole, which is more flexible even when doubled or tripled.
