I like those. There Isnt a whole lot of bumpy parts near the bottom
of the sole -the part that will show even after the majority of the
shoe is covered in vinyl. One thing I hate about most base shoes is
the squareness of the toe profile. It makes it really hard to do the
flared out curved toe cap piece. The lines of the toe cap end up
much more squared than the CG. The velcro band at the top may
be too bulky where the shoe meets the calf armor -were you planning
on cutting that away anyways? Good luck with the shoe build.
