good review, just wanted to mention that you neglected the full length polyurethane midsole in the Westgate, which is the same one as in the Reynolds classics. it is thick and heavy, and stiff at first, but after a week of walking in them they break in just fine. just cos it says vulcanized construction does not mean the shoe will feel like manchester selects. the sole is definitely a little thicker and the board feel isn't what normal vulcs are, but regardless, the shoe is probably an awesome purchase.
