How is the vibram gumlite sole like for comfort? Thinking of replacing some of my dainite soles with these

How is the vibram gumlite sole like for comfort? Thinking of replacing some of my dainite soles with these

Night and day. I haven’t walked very far in the Gumlite yet, I’ve only had them a few days. However I first tried them in store when I walked in wearing Dainite Church’s which always made my feet throb after a day walking around the city. Going from Dainite to trying Gumlite to putting my Dainite on again to leave the store was a huge contrast.

Yeah I bet. I was on my way to the cobblers yesterday to get a pair of Church's Chelsea boots changed to Gumlite but the subway was closed on the route for maintenance. Plan to go next weekend. I plan on buying the C&J Moltons when the stores reopen and I hope C&J will be able to resole them for me at the factory to Gumlite. I have had conflicting info from two different stores about this. Can't understand why

BB Peal and Co split toe penny loafers. Not sure if these are by C&J. Anyone knows if they are by C&J or AS or some other English Shoemaker?

Can you share a photo of the nail pattern on the heel? AS and CJ nail patterns are quite different.

Could you not simply add Blakey’s or Triumph segs yourself?

No leather needs to be removed.

Could do but I absolutely hate them mate. Sounds ******* terrible.

Thanks, but these have Danite sole and they don't seem to have distinctive nail patterns on the heel. I am attaching the photo here, in case it helps.

Exactly. I mean I think that leaves him with one kidney, which obviously means there is another pair of shoes out there somewhere with his name on it.
