In this video for Sole Talk Sunday we will be talking about the well known rubber soles used with mens dress shoe from Dainite and the Vibram Eton sole. www.cobblersplus.com cobblersplus IG: @CobblersPlusCO
Great segment. Are you able to source Carmina soles? They told me in their NYC store that they make their own. Don’t need them now, just planning for the future. Thanks!
Are the vibram soles oil resistant as 430 mini lugs are? I seem to be not finding studded sole that is made from oil resistant material and vibram is my last hope at this point
Hello sir nice work I was wondering because I saw some videos that some people ask to fill the shoes with some kind of rubber foam but not cork can you enlighten us on the subject
So foam is more cushioned than cork but if you think about long term on a shoe cork is much better for support, insulation and breathability. Foam is none of those
@@CobblersPlus the new foam sheet has rubber and specs of cork all infused in natural latex foam witch can breathe (gain back its shape) and rebound better than cork i wish i know more this is as far as i know i think not only john lobb is using this sheet also more of the high-end are moving there customer to the new filling.
My biggest concern is ice. In my area we usually get freezing rain before the snow, it is dust on crust. My Vibram works well, but any experience from Danite in ice?
You should support your local small business by allowing him to buy wholesale through his supplier and selling it retail to the end user. It's just ethically the thing to do because he's just trying to support his family, like you are.
A bigger size is better. If you supply a cobbler with a sole though most of the time there isn’t a discount and is usually best to just let the cobbler use there own. But at the same time I do know there are some cobblers that don’t stock or have the Dainite soles so ask them before you buy the sole
Never hurts to ask how those shops feel about you bring your own soles to them. Some are fine with it some hate it but again just keep in mind most wont do any discounts. Let us know if you need any help.
Usually shipping within US isn't that costly, so it may be worth it to ship over to cobblers plus. Allan is a fantastic cobbler and well worth the money
The Vibram doesn’t work as well in mud and slush because of the softer compound? Every car and motorcycle tire manufacturer would disagree with that statement.
No it doesn’t work as well as the Dainite because the traction doesn’t stick out as much as the Dainite soles but the softer and grippy rubber on the Vibram it greats better on a smooth surface
