We have different types of synthetic soles because different manufacturers wan to sell you their alternative to leather outsoles. Will there be differences? Likely yes - but they will be small and mostly subjective. I have pretty much every type of outsole on the market and they all get worn in winter and they are all slippery on ice. Because ice. If I fall on ice it's not because of my outsole. It's because I wasn't being careful enough.

I find a massive difference between dainite and commando soles on ice and snow. Of course anything bar spikes will slip on sheet ice.

Anyway, apologies for the digression who else is in on the Kingsley cordovan?

 

[mockingboy]

Anyone know the difference between the John Lobb Harlyn and the Chambord II?

Thanks

I am in for armagnac or cognac Kingsley, but depends on the final specs like last, sole, edges, etc.

I am also open to shell with suede shaft. They should look nice and will bring down the cost.

Thanks CC - I was about to call it and we’d just get separate MTOs ;-)

The new thin Vibram sole looks very elegant.

Is Skoak moving away from all other makers and planning on carrying only Lof & Tung in the future?

No.

@Leaves - What the hell are you doing up? It's got to be 4:30 in the morning where you're at.

I'm a massive fan of L&T, and I can say that I'm 99 % more likely to buy L&T over Carlos Santos. This puts me in a position where their restocks of EB/L&T is the most interesting.

I wish they would put out more EB make-ups though, even if I'm unlikely to buy anything but MTO at this point.

Sleep is a waste of time.
