yeah..I saved these pics in 2016, and now that I contacted the guy on IG he won't reply lol. Not sure if they are even being produced now. The balance of the sole looks perfect IMO.

Complete opposite to me, I couldn’t wait to have proper white soles again.

Nice Pad.

Waiting for my Mccoys N1s to come back. A little nervous as they were expensive as fuck.

I'm looking for similar soles. I have a pair of 7 holes coming from Japan that new a new midsole as well, so may just go with Christy's.

Nice job Pad, had similar done with my old kgrs

Clivia Morflex is a good sheet.

Also, 865CS Milton units don't look too bad for a wedge, not sure if they come in cream tho.

I got mine red wings back from Yorkshire sole , unfortunately can’t get on with the white souls

Got a pair of barley cords redone at same time, second to none work and very pleased with those

I'm planning on sending the 7Holes to him. Seems like a decent guy from the chat I had with him.

Like the Milton dee. Could be a contender. I'm essentially having to start again as the shoe looks like this atm!

Yeah he’s sound, work man ship is great, I just wish with the red wings I had given him more direction on the colour. Not sure if there is an option for black but on reflection for me I should have asked

I think the brick coloured soles that Trickers use would work well on most redwings.

Gave up trying to keep the original cream soles clean along time ago.

@hanto almost kopped these 2 weeks ago, but having them resoled would have added too much to the price as i would do a full rewelt (the stitvhing looks terrible here) . anyway commando sole all the way i would say!

The stitching is awful. No ideal who did it! Will have to see what the crack is when they are done, but the Commando is tempting!
