Does anyone have experience with the R1 sole compared to N1? How is comfort? Grip?

I understand fully, what with my semi retirement and the covid lockdown I have very few opportunities to get dressed so I take advantage of my COSTCO trips......
Ha ha yeah exactly. I'd wear my nice footwear mainly to the office and reserve sneakers or beater shoes for grocery/hardware store runs. These days I look forward to these little opportunities to wear decent footwearI understand fully, what with my semi retirement and the covid lockdown I have very few opportunities to get dressed so I take advantage of my COSTCO trips......
Really love how dark the dark brown Utah is.
I always find leather to be more comfortable than rubber, but R1 is pretty close. I think what you are really getting is longevity with the R1 vs N1. Grip is slightly better on R1, but again pretty closeDoes anyone have experience with the R1 sole compared to N1? How is comfort? Grip?
Yep I think L1 is a thinner lighter single leather for loafers and the like. Then N2 would be double leather but not sure why one wouldn't take HAF.Is N1 the regular single-leather sole?
Agreed, especially for something as simple as a single leather sole hahaIt's not that easy to be on top of the sole nomenclature, it's apparently not well explained on their website!
With money, usually. Maybe you could offer them livestock or indentured servitude for a duration of time.
- L1 soles - Single leather weight for casuals
- N1 soles - Single leather weight
- B1 soles - 1.5-ply leather weight
- H/A - Double leather weight
- H/AF soles - Double leather weight with forepart middles (narrower in the sole waist)
- C/B1 - Medway soles and heels (rubber)
- C/B2 - Dainite soles and heels (rubber)
- C/B3 - Ridgeway soles and heels (rubber)
- R1 soles - New single rubber soles - has replaced the Thames soles
Super helpful, thanks for the repost. Miss seeing @Dusty Heaters shoes/boots on this thread!And R2 is the thicker rubber sole.
Wow appreciate you digging back for that post!
