Half Rubber soles trap heat and moisture. And in our humid weather, it will cause the leather sole to deteriorate faster. Just try to avoid walking in water and you should be fine without them.

I belong to the camp that wears naked leather sole shoes.

However, what I hate most is...

...stepping into toilets. :(

Embrace it! Lol. I think everyone should have a pair of leather shoes with dainite soles for rainy weather.

I highly recommend EG Dover in dainite soles. 😁

I also prefer leather soles. Do you tap toe all your shoes? :o

I do my own "taps" by using Mcnett Freesole. It's liquid rubber that hardens to a glossy transparent finish. Works really well!
Sold at Outdoor@novena.

Awww... Wanted to pick up an item on impulse during their winter sale, its OOS now.

It could be difficult to fit 2 items under S$400.

Maybe just barely but oh well, I'm not sure if I want to drop another $200 on a pair of Barkers. So far the fit has been the most forgiving for my feet.

Will it affect the appearance of shoes?

Since it dries to become clear transparent rubber, it's more stealthy than traditional metal or nylon taps.

I learnt recently that even if the Goodyear stitches on the sole gets worn away, it does not really come apart, as each stitch is like a lock stitch. The rubber portion of the heel is the first to get worn down, and for that I have Mcnett Freesole to the rescue.

I've yet to be fitted for barker shoes yet, but I totally get your feels... 5 pounds for each additional item shipped is a steal.
