Since metal taps and vibram topy's can be done separately, what if we went with double leather and the folks that wanted a rubber bottom can opt for the Vibram topy? If that works, I'll get this over ASAP. Thanks guys!

I'm good with that although I kinda like the city sole. My concern with the Vibram topy is it being too thick. The city sole looks relatively thin compared to the Vibram topy but I might just stick with the doule leather sole.

I don't think it'll be too thick, the topy doesn't add much visible mass or actual thickness, imo. Here are some pics of for comparisons
