      Completely agree on the Dress Leather front, it's just a bit limiting in colour options. There are also an array of colours in some pretty tough and easier to keep up leathers available, voyager is a particularly tough alternative to bullhide. More dense grain but similar.

      For polishing/ protecting, something as basic as kiwi in a matching colour won't darken or stain lighter leather (not rough out's) and protects well, also give them a spray from a distance with a high quality protector.

                  there's gotta be someone in the UK who can glue a vibram sole properly, right?  I mean, it just seems llike it could get expensive just to send them back to White's for a sole only.  I guess your history with shoe repair isnt the best tho, so do what you need to.  When my oxfords need a resole, Im gonna slap a christy on them.

                      I'm considering a black cristy sole, I have emailed the shoe healer after a dude on Sufu recommended him.

                        Mega, I'm a pretty fussy bugger about sole finishes and Rich/ Shoe Healer did a very nice job on a pair of my trickers.

                          Quoted me £80 to swap the sole to a new Vibram Moreflex…. Seems a bit steep.

                            I know the Moreflex is generally a bit more expensive/ lower quantities available (according to Whites) but it does seem a bit steep. I had my Trickers resoled with a stitched Dainite and it cost £60 a year or so ago, return shipping included.

                            Maybe get the sole online and take it to a cobbler? Could get you a set from White's (sure Kyle would also sort you out) but might be a short wait until they woul get sent with a ready order.

                            Happy shopping.

                                  I wear the outside of the sole first, which makes the shoe less comfortable over a period of time, although I think I am going to change the look with a black Vib 2021 sole rather than a cristy or cream 2021.

                                  Ed, because I'm a traditionalist  😉 Although as it turns out I will be getting them done by the Shoehealer.

                                    12 weeks from order date and still no White's.  Kyle promises that they'll probably be in next week….

                                    Got some catching up to do in the boot comp!

                                          Harvest rough out leather throughout, double natural midsole, no celastic toe, 100 lug sole.  They are beautiful beasts.

                                            Jestre, those are some beautiful boots! I was really hesitant to do the rough out look, but in retrospect maybe I should have.
