        i would want the heel of the 9XX series, but my ideal height would be that like those cdiem5holes. but theres no in between of the 994/995. so im torn between two.

        i cant quite tell, but is the shaft of the 995 higher than the 795? it seems so.

          795/994/995

          Fyi. Not only is the heel taller on the 795, it's sole is double that of the 994/995 too...

              795

              Personally I find the heel too tall on the 795 for my personal taste. But I do like the double sole quite abit, and since my 988 is a single, the double is a welcomed change.
              So between the 795 and 995, I'm leaning towards the former and will possibly shave a little off the height of the heels.

                I same here actually, I like the double sole, not too crazy about the stacked heel. Is the double sole something new for Guidi?

                The stacked heel w/o the double sole is too much IMO.

                  what about the height of the shaft? is the 795 or 995 taller?

                    Shaft height

                    Nic, I don't know for certain, but I strongly suspect they're both the same.

                      i suppose if they're the same, den one could just get the 995 and add a vibram sole to get the 'double sole' effect. instead of having to shave off the heel of a 795.

                      my hestitation in getting a 995 is that im afraid it may end up looking too 'combat-like' due to the taller shaft.

                      oh my. decisions decisions decisions....

                        I wouldn't go that route

                        Having the original double sole and adding a (thick?) vibram sole to a single is very different imo.
                        I'd much prefer shortening the heels, and I know places that can do this perfectly.

                            I must confess I don't really like it.

                            What about this tanktop?

                              jgan, apologies, but i'm not really enjoying the fit or proportions, esp shoulders/sleeves/length.

                              hwith, i'd prefer a plain tank, but i guess it depends what you'll be wearing it with.

                              just my 2c.

                                jgan : Strangely the first pic with the jacket being open appeals to me. Closed the proportions look off, and the hood looks to me as though it doesnt belong on that garment

                                Hwith : I would say no. I find graphic tees to be appealing one minute, and then I cant stand them ( and i dont really liek that one myself). I always prefer the detail to be in the fabric/knit or the contruction/seam work, as opposed to a graphic.

                                Unless the graphic is more subtle and not so glaringly obvious
