these are too short to be good in real use, riding a bike. IMO. So good for sidewalk commandoes only.

Actually, I was stone cold sober.

As the samples are not that far from completion, this is the scoop.

Pull on western, vintage oil tan reverse out, round toe.  Doing 2 different sole/heel samples; white Vibram wedge and honey lug….

[madmonday]

sounds promising & worth the wait.

good job jaco 

[riffblaster general]

G, anymore hints you can give us…............ 8" or 11"? Can't wait to see the samples........

[Giles]

8 I think…..

[Chris]

Honey lug sole sounds nice.

[Giles]

Yes, Haraki has a penchant for the vibram wedge.  I don't.  That's why 2 samples are being made….

@TinMan:

I have also been looking at whites…. and I have looked at vibergs.  Never worn them but dying to try a pair of either.  I will probably end up with whites.... just because I can not wear D witdth shoes.  I have narrow feet B width, so my only option is to find a company that stocks B width or get custom made shoes.  I am savin my pennies.

@Geo:

man o man - they are the business

I was looking a custom Whites but the Viburg heel is better . . . great buy!

You like what we do with Viberg, we'll do whatever width you want as a special - no extra charge….......

Thanks G you the man…. now I am even more interested in this thread

I have to admit, I've always thought the wedge sole is… let's say, unappealing…  Classic lug soles are much nicer.

[Giles]

Ditto

+1

But I think I've ranted enough about it

those are nice, pretty pretty nice.

but, but, why show us something that can't be purchased for another YEAR!  it's so frustrating.  almost as frustrating as not being able to purchase something because it's not made in your size

[Beatle]

woah….
