Hahaha. It's not copyrighted Eli so you're all good.

.One more for ya

I agree. It's hard to find them in the statesunfortunately. As well as Dainite soles. Plus I wanted something utilitarian but not quite as bulky. I LOVE your black grasmeres Seul.

Commando sole is where it's at…
@riffblaster:

Commando is better, I think. The Dainite has a nice sleek profile and feels a bit lighter and more flexible, but I've found it to be much more slippery. I'll take the chunkier look and better traction of the commando sole any day. Red Dainite looks super cool, though.

I agree Chris. I meant its hard to find cobblers in the states who carry either of them.
-
Fair enough. I was just offering my unsolicited opinion on the relative merits of the two soles.
I suppose the closest easily available thing to the commando sole in the US would be the Vibram 430. Not quite as nice overall, though.
EDIT: and since I brought it up, here's a visual comparison of the commando and 430 mini-vib soles.

And since this is the Tricker's thread, here's the pair I was wearing a couple of days ago

I actually am glad you shared your opinion though, it's a question I've heard a lot of people bring up before regarding which soles they want so its good to have someone with experience weigh in on it!
The vibram mini lug is a great sole that I like quite a bit, but obviously is nowhere near as aggressive as the commando. I also love the way the lugs aren't on the outside of the sole on the commando so from the side it still had a classic look.

i have a pair of black full scotch grain stows. i'll get a pic for you tomorrow.
