Apologies if this has been covered already, but what are the insoles like on the SF-01? Are they removable? How much padding do they offer? What type of padding (e.g. is it memory foam)?

Thanks!

Hi @sinottj they are pretty standard removable insoles that you would expect in a luxury shoe offering and common with pretty much every real made in Italy brand (CP etc) . They are mid padded, foam and leather topped, however we will post pictures in the thread tomorrow.

We have an insole being developed with technogel but will be adding that as an additional sole option for separate purchase moving forward.

Thanks for such a fast response! The sneakers look fantastic by the way!

Sounds like they have the kind of insole you find in Astorflex shoes - don't know whether you have any experience of these to comment?

[edit] just noticed the comment about posting a picture of the insole - that would be great!

I am so glad to hear it. They really are pretty great but I try and avoid saying it due to the self-serving nature of it all.

I tried googling the astorflex insoles and couldn't find anything I recognized, unfortunately.. will post snaps on the thread tomorrow so you can see the finished ones.

Ok another sizing query...??

I’m UK 9 in C and J, Trickers 4497s, 9.5 in converse (my only trainers!).
I’m guesstimating a 43 as slightly wider feet?

Excellent work, they look amazing.

@ArchibaldRoh I bought the grey kangaroo with the gum sole. I was wondering if you will be offering brown laces to color match the soles.

I still haven't made my order because I am so bloody undecided: the anticato sienna with gum sole? The grey kangaroo with sum sole? Or both? Or rather the anticato tan?

Man this is killing me

Just to confirm, this means it won't be a part of the pre-release exclusive to SF? I'm pretty sure I'm going to want this on my sneakers even if it costs more.

I like anticato grey w/ white sole.

You are not making things easier for me!!!!

No but we will make it available as an option at cost for everyone who orders the SF-01 when it does get released. Still in development.

I think the Grey comes with Grey and white but it does make sense so no reason customer service can't put a note on your order.

I think a 43 sounds right going by the C and J but any chance we could run a measurement to double check?

Will be fine at that I think. Thanks for reply.
