Here are some pics of the crease issue that most are experiencing. Honestly, I don’t look or think twice about it. These are definitely some very lovely shoes.

if people are complaining about these types of creases they've never owned a pair of leather shoes. These are barely noticeable lol

Hi, where can I find out more what are the differences between v2 and v1 of the SF sneakers. Thanks.

I should add that I have the v1. And given the fit of v1 on my feet, I am thinking if I should order the v2.

 

[mykoh]

Yes, would love to hear what are the proposed improvements that V2 would have over V1 as well.
I am armed with a code and already have a couple of pairs in mind!

Also wearing my suede V1s for the first time today and I can't stop looking at them.
As you can see, the tongue gape is practically non-existent unless I purposely flex my feet.
Furthermore for the heel slip, I find making the final knot as tight as possible really helps to lock your feet in place and prevent your heels from slipping.

Those yellow suede shoes look really good... And I wasn't planning on a V2 but this makes it hard.

I think that the mustard suede with gum soles would be even better.

Amazing .... I also discovered this worked yesterday evening!

So here is where we are at:

1. Tongue gate solved.
2. New white calf being tested, pure veg tan St Crispins leather amongst others. May or may not go with this.
3. Longer laces.
4. More care with Anticatoing
5. Floorboards - testing leatherboard (hardened leather), exploring viability of a layer of cork, also testing a different floorboard with aloe vera incorporated. We want to give people nothing to say and also out do everyone else so I hope we can move away from the fibreboard.
6. In-soles - Might go with a standard technogel, if not they will remain the same.

I'm looking at the options for order now.
Is this set in stone?
Mustard suede is gone, no Sienna with white sole, etc...

Are you looking at the v2 page or the v1 page. On v2 I can figure all of those.

I figured it out.
The options show different if you go from their pulldown menu, vs the link on the homepage...

Found a couple of Technogel insoles (size 48) at the "office". Just finished cutting, we'll put them into the SF-01v2 prototypes that are coming to us on Friday and send them over to one of you to test.

If these have a lower profile, I’d like to try them in my V01, would that be possible? I’m using orthotics and the footbed that you are using had just a bit too much volume.

Coupon emails for the v2 are out!

Did all who initially ordered V1 get the coupon? Didn't receive any email ...

I don’t think I received coupon either...emailed info@archibald to inquire

 

[stephenaf2003]

Got my coupon, gotta say I’m very disappointed there weren’t any new color options added for Kangaroo. But, here’s my v2 lineup with expected arrival late November according to the website, hopefully @ArchibaldRoh will have the box situation straightened out by then. As you all can see, I really like my sneakers with gum soles. Also @OrlandoMo , please post about it in this thread, if you guys decide to add different colored strings to your product lineup.
