            You should.  They're very nice.  Besides, you need to get something to use as a comparison for how tough your White's boots are.

                Agreed. I've been eyeing them for a while. Come on 2nds page.

                  Here's something else not seen around these parts too frequently. I really need a resole, but can't decide what to do, recommendations welcomed.

                    ^to be more specific, I want something different. Local guy suggested the dreaded Christy, or similar, but I definitely don't think that would work. Other Vibram suggestions? Should I go all out and have them rebuilt? I really like this shoe, but it needs some help.

                        They're a great shoe, they just need resoled. I just want something different for them and can't seem to set my mind on it.

                          If you would like to dress then up a but, use a stacked leather heel/leather sole combo - if you want to keep their "comfortable" aesthetic that Mephisto is known for, perhaps an old school Marshmellow (like On bucks) sole would looks killer and be comfy as ever- just maybe not all that durable.

                            I think something like a  Vibram 430 Mini-Lug would work quite nicely on them. http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4452.650 is a great place to look as everyone's posting their boots and make-ups, so there's a real-world look at them all…

                              Thanks guys. Straight leather with a stacked heel isn't quite it, but I really like some of the Cat's Paw and/or Biltrite options. The 430 Snowman suggested looks promising as well.

                                Hmmm…the 705 looks interesting too. Anyone with experience with the two? I'm thinking leather mid, stacked heel, 705 or 430. Worry it might be a bit much on a shoe though.

                                  For those I would add a double leather midsole and a Vibram mini lug.

                                    I hadn't considered a double mid, was worried a single might be a bit aesthetically stout on a shoe. I can find pics of boots with that setup, which I like, but every shoe I see skips the mid altogether. Certainly would stand out.

                                          Thanks Gav, was having issues picturing it 🙂 I think I can get it squared up locally, but if not any suggestions on who to send them to? I've seen Brianthebootmakers and similar mock ups around here, but I know you guys have other sources.
