I'm thinking hard about getting a pair of AEs because I like the style (and the square-toed monstrosities I have now are getting worn out) but think that leather-soled shoes wouldn't be ideal for the type of environment I'd be wearing them in.
Ideally I'd like a pair of rubber-soled shoes, but AE doesn't have many stylish options that I like (I want a perf captoe). I'd then want some kind of toppie, or rubber installed in high-volume areas to cushion my step, especially the ball of the feet.
Does this ruin the leather sole of the shoe, or in any way affect the lifespan of the shoe? Is it hard to get a combination leather/rubber sole? Are there any other options that are as nice as AEs but still have thin rubber soles?
