*Wow these boots look amazing!! I love what you did with them! The red really pops and the lug soles make everything look awesome!* *I've seen the double midsoling done around RUclips before. It looks like they would allow more durability. What are the benfits to a double midsole? Also, are rubber midsoles as durable as leather midsoles?*
Having a double midsole just puts more material between your foot and the ground. I personally like the leather midsole better because it starts to form to your foot. There really isn’t any durability differences in the two, just different pros and cons of either. Here we went with both for a couple reasons. One he wanted the leather to form to his foot, and the little screws hold better into the leather, he chose the rubber as well for color, the rubber also gives more cushion compared to the leather, and rubber bonds to rubber better that rubber to leather.
PVC sock tape/sports tape might be a cheaper alternative to using electrical tape. Its basically the same thing without the rated electrical insulation properties and since its designed for skin the glue on the tape wont ruin anything. Also those boots look amazing!
They look cool. Very nice work
That was amazing !
They look incredible.

Thanks for sharing I’ll look into that
Those look really sharp!
Awesome work!
Fantastic transformation!!! A wonderful upgrade with the leather midsole. How many colors do they have for the rubber midsoles? That red is striking.
Thanks! Vibram makes Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Black, Brown, White, and a Cream midsole
Wow
Rapid E Stitcher may be the answer to sew through those Vibram heavy lug soles. 😮
Godwilling one day I can get ahold of a Rapid E.
