Thanks Arto, I think I'll give them a couple wears to see how they feel then add vibrams to the front and decide if I want to have the heel changed to vibram or not.

the ma+ heels (even though part rubber, part leather) always wear down much quicker than the vibram, so i recommend get the heel and sole done in one go or you'll just be back there 2 weeks later getting the heels done anyway
and on the whole vibram or not debate....its a hard one, but with ma+ footwear i am always tempted to vibram more so than with augustayou can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

I think I just used bad wording haha, I meant I'll wear them a couple times to see how the feel then I'll add soles to the front and I would have decided on whether to change the heel or not by then so I'll either change it or not when I get the front done.

Was modelling my brand new reverse cordovan grey boots for the wife and turned around in an excited sashay to spill a glass of red wine all over the right boot. managed to get the wine stains out but have water spots on the boot
where did you buy it, at the cobblers?

Not sure if this belongs in the DIY section or this thread but is anyone aware of a cobbler in central London that will dye shoes? Need to dye a pair of dust boots to black, I'm aware that certain cobblers will do it, but I have yet to find one. All I have visited have either said no, or I should do it myself. Not being all that experienced in the process I'd rather let a professional do it.

stretching length is pretty difficult as the sole determines it and the part that is stretchable is the upper. usually you wont be able to get much if anything out of it, so most cobblers probably won't even bother to try. you might able to get a bit of room in the toebox, but even that will be more in terms of width/height."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

Resoling shoes with rubber treads.
Anyone have any experience doing this? I have a couple pairs of Neil Barrett boots that have rubber treads on the soles that have been nearly worn all the way down. From what I understand this is harder to repair than a stander leather sole. But I assume someone can do it, right? Could anyone recommend somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.
