What is pictured above is what the cobblers are calling a "full overlay" and although some on SF call it a Topy, others Vibram, and my cobblers here are calling it rubber, It appears to amount to the same thing (except for the logos on the overlay, and some on SF argue that one might possibly last longer than others). This, below is the partial overlay option. It's a pic of some Bass Weejuns I'd thrifted to beat up while out & about this summer; turns out they don't fit and they're headed back. They had what my cobblers are calling the "partial overlay" done at the factory (the stitching says so?). But I could get this done to my new ones. I can't figure out what the benefit of this would be vs. the full overlay.
