Dainite means the bottom has a bunch of large rubber nipples. If that makes any sense. It's good in the rain and meant for pavement. Commando is better for stuff you won't find in the city. Leather is going to be more comfortable overall, but it has poor performance in the rain.
My Trickers came with a leather sole, but switched them out for a flat 3/4 rubber sole and full rubber heel, which are the exact thickness that the leather was. They are grippy, yet still sleek like a leather sole. I like them a lot.
I can take a photo of them when I get off work if you think that would help.
Thanks fellas. Yeah, Agelus, the 'Danite' (?) flat sole with the nipple-type tread is what I'm after. Leather just makes me a bit edgy in terms of traction. Commando seems fine, but seems a bit chunky for a dressier boot.
So two questions:
1) Onion: pics would be great. Was this rubber sole switchout considered a custom? If not, how do I specify and where's the best place to order these like that?
2) Best online place to order these? Good price? Shipping to US?
