anyone who has a pair of 8130s and works on their feet/walks all day experience pain in their toes?

its weird. i can work all day but as soon as i get home, theres sharp pain in my toes. would an insole help?

I wear the 8130 often but no pain after wearing! :-\

2940. 5(?) months in. Oiled once after excess in mud and seawater. Excuse the bathroom background.

I treated my rough out Iron Rangers with Barbour wax treatment, painted it on with a brush when it was liquid.

They went a bit darker but it was quite successful (supple, waterproof etc.).

Damn, office carpet is ugly!

Any ideas where I can get replacement traction tread soles?

[injunjack]

Have you asked the finnish retailer??? I think they were about to start resoleing as well, or at least have a cobbler to do it for them.

Well after several years, a few heel replacements, and carving new treads in with a power tool, it was finally time to resole my trusty 1907s.
I'm a crepe sole guy all the way, but don't love how that classic cream color pretty much always looks dirty (especially where I live).
What better solution than the Vibram Christy in black…

Looks good!!

[Giles]

That looks soooooooooo much nicer than a cream Christy..

[Katsushin]

Thanks, I think so too.
I never even knew they made them in black until my cobbler turned me on to them.
Toying with the idea of retrofitting my OSBs with them eventually as well…

they do, they are also available from RW on some models and in my experience the black ones are also more durable

Thanks Kat, I think I found the right kind of soles for my next resole job.
