i just think a bit of super glue will do the trick…nothing bad at all, since the stitching still should be in a great condition

And George with the quickness:

Hey!
Yeah, don't sweat the vibram sole coming off or anything - it wont!  That slight separation just can't be helped - it'll never come off though.  If you ever feel like it, you could ask a local cobbler touch the spot up

Thanks Eli!

Is what I thought… Doing absolutely fuck all to it.

same problem with my old color #8 alden indys.. should be some sort of planned obsolescence (i´d swear 80 years ago mankind was able to produce shoes with stitchings that last longer than a couple of month..)

[Giles]

It's not the stitching that is coming undone on the OSB (or at least from what I have seen), it is merely the edge of the welt and the edge of the sole coming apart slightly…...

[Seul]

No no no - the stitching is FINE!.. I was talking about the slight coming apart of one of the layers of soles… Take a closer look!..

i know this is the oakie thread & all but i have to say if you ever order anything from these good folks you should order the horse hairbrush (can't speak on the shoe cream since i haven't used it yet)  the brush is beefy to say the least & I will not name the other company (starts with an Al & ends with a den) charges up to about $38.00 for a similar product that i highly doubt is better than the beast (that's what I named her).

will try to get a picture up later

[Giles]

Hmmmm, I can't think of the other company, but I did have a pair of shoes from a company that starts with an Ald and ends with an en, that the sole fell off after a week because the welt stitch was feckin crap…...

[Seul]

On ordering those items outside of the US: ask George for shipment through USPS… The quote you will get on the site is high because it's UPS's...

Yes the stiching is fine. It is more like a glue problem. I'm going to take mine to a cobbler when I have time.
Oh and I also love the horse hairbrush.
