Fair enough. I was just offering my unsolicited opinion on the relative merits of the two soles.
I suppose the closest easily available thing to the commando sole in the US would be the Vibram 430. Not quite as nice overall, though.
EDIT: and since I brought it up, here's a visual comparison of the commando and 430 mini-vib soles.

And since this is the Tricker's thread, here's the pair I was wearing a couple of days ago

I actually am glad you shared your opinion though, it's a question I've heard a lot of people bring up before regarding which soles they want so its good to have someone with experience weigh in on it!
The vibram mini lug is a great sole that I like quite a bit, but obviously is nowhere near as aggressive as the commando. I also love the way the lugs aren't on the outside of the sole on the commando so from the side it still had a classic look.

Seul, I picked up a pair of Trickers shoes from them last week; still expensive but less than UK and US retail and u get to try them on first. Got a nice bag with Steve McQueen on it as well

hahaha thanks Finn! I actually resoled them with a vibram lug. they look BAD ASS

Just been stuck in Aberdeen ( UK ) for a few days trying to get to work offshore. I only had my scruffy clothes with me so decided to go shopping,….......................real shame but it had to be done
I picked up a pair of Trickers Long Wing brogue shoes in coffee colour calf leather. The shoes were made by Trickers for Kafka who are an Aberdeen based high end clothes shop.
I like the Long Wing style, quite hard to find but a classic. They will make a nice addition to the collection, I have Moulton C shade boots but this is the first pair of brogue shoes I have owned.
Excuse the poor Iphone shots, I will try and get some better pictures once back home.
