      Since shining came up - I thought I'd give you guys who are interested in keeping the vibram sole looking new, a tip.

      Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the edge of the sole - brings it back to it's beautiful off white color with just a little rub.

      Also - Seul - I love how you can see the oil of the chromexcel coming through.  You could even rub the scuffs with your finger and the oil will come through

        They look new… Am I missing something?..

        I believe he's cleaned and treated them, unlike someone you know 😉

              Read on Style Forum that both Loden Green and Black would be in the future…

                  Mmm…  Loden Green could be cool.  Was hoping for some suede but it'll be what it'll be.

                    And apparently a black version of the Oxfords as well?.. If those come with a Vibram sole, I'll buy my 3rd pair… No doubt.

                    The Styleforum thread is really nice!.. Good pics, and always decent input and people on there!..

                      Not yet. Heard the Loden and Black would be in the Vibram Trail Oxford but I am not positive.

                      Yeah, minus the sizing questions. Not sure why those schmucks can't figure out how to size their shoes…

                          After wearing them for 9 hours straight at work (meaning: all 9 spent standing/ walking), I found that these are the first pair of shoes that did not make my feet hurt (Grenson boots might be the exception)… Also: I just love them so much...


                          Might it be the sole unit Seul? I sometimes find the christie a little uncomfortable over longer periods

                            Probably is, Geo. Qualiy-wise: I think these'll last a good, long time (which they should), but I'll keep y'all updated, as I will be (ab)using these for the next couple of months…

                              Mailing/ PM'ing/ etc is all fine. That is what they are there for. Completely avoiding reading a thread with hundreds of pages of the same sizing questions and then asking it again….. IS STUPID! Not you Seul!

                                      Only thing I can think of is to insert a second inner-sole or consider wearing thicker socks, regardless of the weather.

                                          did you size down on them?

                                          @SimonQ.:

                                          Warning for everybody who thinks about the beefroll pennys. This trick doesn´t work on the pennys. Taking them tts made them way too big and the heel was slipping like hell.. so I think you have to take those a half a size down.
