        You're missing the opportunity to wear boots that are even uglier than ones with a Christy sole.

        Well, I have others.

            No problem @Sam …. it seems the forum members know what trousers you wear and they quickly answered my question. Which should be alarming but afterall this forum is mainly about pants lol

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              Here's a stupid question:  Is the Christy sole the Vibram 1010 Armortread or is it a different sole model?  4014?  What there a difference between the 1010 and the 4014?

              For the record, I like the Gloxi-Cut sole…

                ^yeah Gloxi-Cut for life.

                FWIW the 4041 is the traditional “Christy” but I think people lump all foam based soles into the Christy category.

                I have the 2021 on two pairs of boots and prefer it in almost all ways…

                  The 2021 is my favorite sole so far. My boots with that sole are the only ones I wear on City trips where I go Sightseeing all day Long. If the gloxicut performs as well with more traction I'm super happy.

                  And - probably a very unpouplar opinion - I think boots with high heelstacks look much worse.

                    Ok, so my IH 62 indigo wabash needs a wash.. are there any precautions I need to take? Concerns about streaks? Should I presoak and use a front loading machine? Spin no spin? Dryer or hang to dry?

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                        I always just turn it inside-out, and chuck it in the top-loader we have at home, warm water, regular cycle with spin. Then I tumble dry it, hot.  Of course, I wasn't at all worried about shrinkage, and I did get some the first couple times.  No weird streaks or anything, though.

                          Ok, thanks guys. I wouldn’t mind some shrink. But I’ll drop dry it to be safe.

                                Same here, except I wash in cold water.

                                  Alex, if I’m looking for a little shrink can I increase the temp of the water? Or do u advise against that?

                                    I’ve blasted some of my wabash on 90C with 800rpm to get max shrinkage. It doesn’t shrink quite as much as UHR for example but it’s quite effective.

                                    I’d say wash at 40C and see how you feel. If there isn’t enough action go to 60. One thing, washing will accelerate wear on exposed areas (collar, cuffs, hems, hemmed corners etc.).

                                      For sure, you are not more at risk of streaks from hotter water, but of shrinkage. If you wash at 40 and need more shrink, try at 50, then 60etc.

                                      The juice cleanse must be working… 😛

                                          Is there a list of sorts with the IH shirts that have been made in lady sizes?

                                            And - without having looked and compared measurements yet - are they designed to follow the female body shape, or are they just smaller sizes of regular IH shirts?
