It's a compromise for sure, but one I'm willing to take. I find it negligible, but I have this theory that the same rubber sole can be softer or harder (almost like a lottery) and I have no idea what drives the comfort.I have to disagree on that. I prefer a leather sole over the R1. I find it much more comfortable.
It is more comfortable, but not in the snow and sleet in the winter time, when I mostly wear bootsI have to disagree on that. I prefer a leather sole over the R1. I find it much more comfortable.

It won't be a real scientific test, but I have another Shanklin lying around in the box, until I decide if I'll sell the Shanklin I'm currently wearing (different colors, I'm not that crazy, just a little bit).It's a compromise for sure, but one I'm willing to take.

I have R1 on Shanklins and Piccadilly's and R2 (just has a leather midsole) on Galways. I think I'd happily get either on my next pair. I own a couple Galways on the HAF soles as well and like I said, leather is a touch more comfortable but it's negligble.It won't be a real scientific test, but I have another Shanklin lying around in the box, until I decide if I'll sell the Shanklin I'm currently wearing (different colors, I'm not that crazy, just a little bit).
Based on your feedback, I might give them a try, and hopefully, I'll discover that the sole of the other pair is more comfortable.
nice I'm looking to pick up some Banburys on the R1 so this is a very positive developmentI have R1 on Shanklins and Piccadilly's and R2 (just has a leather midsole) on Galways.
