Have read a lot of the previous SF threads on this.
Am trying to decide what to do on 5 new pairs.
People seem to like Topy's better than old-skool rubber over leather soled shoes for reasons of both looks and overall durability, right?
My specific *new* question is, since I live in the northeast and it's impossible to avoid some rain/slush/snow precipitation (even though I'll be careful) should I just opt for the full rubber oversole (not including heel) instead of the partial Vibram overlay/Topy?
(no, it's not really practical for me to store 10 pairs of shoes at work like one previous poster said he does -- would love that but I have a fairly public cube and not a lock-and-key opportunity...we're encouraged to not store anything we don't want stolen, although that rarely happens if ever)
2nd question: Do the rubber oversoles eventually wear out and I'll have to re-oversole them in time? Previous posters say Vibram is pretty much permanent. What is your experience? What do you do?
Thanks!
