Didn't you say earlier that the 606 does not fit you well?




yes I did. I had forgotten that it was an E width that was too large. These are D and fit wonderfully

too much sole already. thickness throws them totally off, imo.


I definitely see that in the picture. For some reason they look much sleeker and well balanced in hand and on the foot. Do you have more of a problem with the HAF sole or the extended welt? i.e if you could only get rid of one of those features which would it be? Thanks for the criticism.

actually, i have no problem with either. i never understood the concept of the haf sole and we've seen a lot of pictures where it went out of balance(mostly vass). each to his own.

enjoy them and wear'em in good health.

Obv this is a utilitarian makeup which the OP wishes to wear until kingdom come. Who are we to tell him the sole is too thick for our viewing pleasure? Really, fritz, you're getting it a bit wrong in your last few posts re pictures of shoes on teh net. I expected better.
