Vibram soled leather shoes

[bigbear]

OK, sounds daft, but..........
I have just worn out a pair of then above, came to me second hand from my late Godfather. Really liked them, want another pair.
Surprisingly hard to find, even on t'interweb.
Any suggestions ?

The Bison Bushcraft ankle boots have a vibram sole and could be worn anywhere.

The well known makers, such as Loakes, offer footwear with a "commando"sole.

I've a couple of pairs of the Roxbourgh shoe in the commando sole, fantastic shoe. I wore one pair daily for 3 years in the eastern Egyptian desert. Kept my feet in really good condition and impervious to the nails that litter the part of the desert where I was based. That pair are onto their 3'rd resole. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Hoggs shoes are made on the big side, I'm normally a #12 but I find the #11.5 quite a good fit, I reckon I could get away with an 11. So perhaps best to get them tight (not nipping your toes mind) fitting as they'll loosen up once they mould to your feet.

What size feet are yours?
