Hello! Just wondering how many of you put a rubber sole on the bottom of your boots? Do you think it's worthwhile doing so or do you just want the enjoy the shoes as is? Thanks for your input!
I thought about it but I didn't. There's no need where I live--doesn't rain all that often and I walk on mostly concrete. I would say it's different if you're walking on cobblestone or uneven pavement/surfaces.

Wow I love your boots collection!!! Thanks for your quick reply... do you think a rubber sole will give it a bit more grip? I have always put on a rubber sole on my designer shoes but I'm starting to think I don't really need it because I never wear down one pair of shoes that badly.

Thanks :) The rubber sole will definitely help with grip, were you thinking of vibrams? Not sure, can someone with half soles chime in? Not sure, maybe make the boot heav(ier) and stiff? Half soles are an option to extend life and add durability. Since you mentioned you never wore down soles of yours shoes, then you don't need it.

Some things are better left alone IMO. beautiful leather soles are apt to feel like one of those things :)

Thank you for your opinion... I think I'll leave the sole alone and wear them as is until I see that they need some TLC.. and than I'll add vibrams on them.

I did a sole guard on mine, it gives them better grip and cushion. I don't do all shoes but just the ones I feel will be better with them.IMG_1496145225.713667.jpg
