Oh dear, what actually happened?
He had his shoes on a shelf on display. The shelf broke, the shoes fell to the floor (scaring his dog) and his dog tore into them. Here are the pics he sent just after finding them...

Poor poor guy, that devastating! I think for that sort of reason alone I'll never have pets in the house! They ended up so grubby looking too, not just torn.

Hello guys, today I received an order from Karin, what can I say, the shoes are beautiful. Completely different from the HC, I have. Fast shipping, arrived in excellent condition, both of the shoes that box. In short it was beginning to change the profile of the shoe, just ready kit lights Airair, I'll be ready to make the order both to him and to cavx to the soles. We tuned! see you soon!

Thanks to a member of the forum who will recognize him, Just got my V2 today !
I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the product and now I can tell that there is ANY POSSIBLE COMPARISON TO THE HC's !!!
Everything is great on those V2 ! I have to say that the only thing that bothers me is that you can't get rid of the insole... It is glued !
And I'm thinking of that because I want to slim the toebox (ironed it right after opened the box but just a light session) but I fit just perfect as they are.
And if I do the real work on it, I'll have to cut something to maintain the correct sizing of the shoe.
Is anybody had to remove the insole ? How did you unglue them ?
Speaking about sizing :
• I confirm that the V2 are half size to a third size bigger. (I wear 9 to 10 depending on the brand, and these V2 are 8.5)
• Any information/experience about the V1 sizeing ?

try putting a hair dryer nozzle into the shoe. The glue holding the insole on will become soft with heat, and removable without ripping if you are careful.
You may also need to scratch the glue with a hobby knife if it is still holding on very strong. Pull the insole up, the glue will stretch a little if warm, then cut the glue. Then pull a bit more, and cut the glue a little more. It can take time if they put a lot of glue, but then the insole comes out without being ripped.
(I took out the stock ones and put good insoles in my V2s to make them have better cushioning)
For other shoes that have glued down insoles, we Australians just leave them out in the sun for an hour
but don't do that with these - the less sunlight the V2's see the better, as I learned at my own cost. The midsoles and outsoles go yellow, and when I cleaned them I used to put them out in the sun to dry.
Mine went even more yellow than others on here as I left them in the sun each time after cleaning.
