Wow, really have to make a pair of shoes with croc soles. Oh yes, one pair coming up very soon :)

just wondering, does anyone get their guidi footwear polished/conditioned at all? noticed that the polish/finish of black full grain guidi leather gets knocked off by the slightest amount of moisture, not sure if I should tell the cobbler to refrain from polishing like I do with the rest of my footwear and just let nature take its course with these..

I never polish my guidis. I wipe them with a slightly damp rag after wearing them every couple times, then wipe them dry. Once or twice a season I'll give them a little bit of Saphir brand leather conditioner if they've been exposed to a lot of moisture, dryness, or otherwise harsh conditions (I wore a pair around India for three weeks, and Saphir brought them back to life).
For reverse leather worn in the rain or snow, you might want to use a light coat of a suede/nubuck waterproofing spray (like, the stuff you spray on Uggs). This really made a difference when I was wearing reverse leather joints in the snow every day. Be sure to wipe them dry when you return home. Just don't brush them like suede.
edit: here's the Guidis on their last day in India, holding up well. Lambskin ones from a couple seasons ago, 2007 maybe?

Certain styles/orders come with hard toe caps/boxes, others do not...it should be one of the checklist items (alongside the more obvious ones...type of leather, colour, lined/unlined, etc...) you might want to ask about before making the purchase, especially if you're not seeing them in person.
I always make sure mine comes with hard toe caps, but that's just my personal preference.

Mine are a combination of a sizing issue (sized up so I could fit insoles in there, fit perfectly but a bit long in the toe) and the fact that they're lambskin, really soft leather throughout.
They do have serious creases throughout the toe (well, the whole shoe), but nowhere near as flat as they look in that pic, either.
