I used to have a pair BB Peal Suede chukkas with the Dainite soles and they were my go-to shoes for work in my business casual office but in a manufacturing plant environment. When my dog had his way with them it was a truly tragic day.
I can buy the same shoe again but I'm not necessarily too keen on spending $400 on them, as they are currently listed even with anniversary sale.
However, there is a crepe-soled version for half that price available on their site. They look pretty interesting to me - does anyone have experience with this boot?
I'm particularly concerned to know if the last is the same/similar to the "standard" boot with the Dainite sole. I've found shoes with crepe soles in the past to lack shape and look a little sloppy - I dunno if it's just the ones I've bought or if there is something inherent to the crepe sole, e.g. maybe it's not stiff enough to hold shape or something.
I'm inclined to buy but wondering if others have reviews.
