Hi guys, would like to know your opinion about Cat's Paw heel compared with Vibram in durability aspect.
I'm interested in making order with my friends and I saw Giles's custom, Icy mocha service boot with Cat's Paw heel, so I'm doubt in choosing between these two brands..

Cat's Paw's advantage is purely cosmetic. Not durable but they look awesome.

@Peter:

not sure if this is news to people or not, but: "We are actually in the process of developing a new last that is a little rounder and more forgiving than the 2030, but with the same low profile." -guy

i for one think that sounds fecking fantastic!

right there with you buddy!

Hi guys some info I posted a while back, maybe it helps a bit

cats paw is vintage inspired as cats paw and biltrite were rubber companies supporting shoemakers. some of the heels are repros but in some cases you will get a deadstock heel on to the boot if you are lucky all personal taste

My 1st Verg, missed delivery yesterday, have to pick up 2 packages from post office! Mumbles, thanks for the fast shipping of the 666OD.

[ben2t]

now i know what heel slips means!

[Seul]

Too big?..

[ben2t]

don't really know i tried with insole its tight but i can still feel the heel slips, its has the same lenght with my 1K and my cheaps is even bigger, maybe 6.5 will fit better or because its to heavy, lol.

Are the soles stiff? I think that can cause the heel slip until they break in and start to flex.

[ben2t]

yeah its stiff, i think 110 last is little wide for me, i will try with thick socks though, non the less i am very satisfied with it.

[Finn666]

imo they do look better in the fitpics than on the product page! congrats on those ben2t…wear in good health!
