Dropped of the augsutas at the cobbler yesterday, getting the vibrammed again, hoping all goes well, I have been noticing an annoying crease that bothers my big toe, is this an issue with sizing or can I fix it by conditioning it and wearing it?

One option is to use a shoe stretcher to even ou the crease a bit or stretch that specific area so it won't rub on your toes. I had a similar issue once and was able to stretch the boots enough so there was more room."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."

Willie's Shoe Service in LA. I was hesitant to try them out because they're an hour or so away from where I live, but they did a stellar job on my boots. They've worked with a lot of the "avant-garde" footwear too (CCP, Guidi, m_moria, etc...) so I trust them. How quick do you need them though, because let me tell you it won't exactly be quick (in my experience).

Son of a bitch. Guess this is what happens when you wear two pairs of thick wool socks with Guidi's. I guess I should have known better.
Pretty wary about taking these into a cobbler here in Beijing, but I know of a few reputable ones, though I first would like to locate actual identical Guidi zippers before attempting to have them replaced. Anyone know if such a thing is possible? or at least the fabric and teeth part?

edit: I used it on a Topy sole. idk how it will work on sneaker soles

I just about had to toss a pair of oxfords I repaired with the stuff once as they became incredibly uncomfortable / the sole peeled in a few weeks anyway. Maybe I got a bad tube or something but my resounding review is "HELL NO."
