I just bought a pair of these on grapevinehill. They're a lovely summer shoe. Should I get this done, or does one only put topys on leather soles?

you're gonna put rubber on top of rubber? seems kind of pointless.

i would just wear them and either resole them or buy a new pair when they wear out.

Thanks. That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some hidden reason I should know about.
