Semi-Dress
British tan leather
cream leather lining
all antique eyelets
Vibram 269 sole
brown edge
standard trim
standard heel
standard last

Love the sole, I wanted the versatility of rubber but liked the sleek look of my old single leather soles. The tapered waist of the 269 sole makes for a perfect compromise. The British tan leather looks even better then I had hoped.

Anyway, on to the pics.

 Are those soles available throught white's driectly?  Do I just say that I would like the vibram 269 sole? thanks!  I am going to order the same except in their standard dress brown. Great looking kicks!

That's a very dark, rich brown; at first glance I almost mistook it for black.  Do yours have a celastic toe?

Best Regards

Thanks,

I`d say the Bounty hunter with block heel, and medallion toe cap would be the nearest to these. Try Bakers online ordering - fun to try the various options. And with the buildaboot page you can visualize the boot.
