      Got my SD's back from the local cobbler today, the job isn't top grade, but it cost me £20 and will get me through the winter before sending them back to Spokane for a proper refurb.

      Apologies for shitty iphone with flash pics…but it is dark here.

                A) WTF is happening here:

                😎 Dont think colouring the side of the black vibram is a good idea - leave it black imo

                  A) The vibram sole is slightly narrower than the old sole, what your seeing is the gap  :-\

                  😎 I totally agree, didn't ask for it but it's there now so…...

                  The soles make my SD's wearable through winter, and the job isn't top notch, but it will be fine until I can get them done properly in the new year.

                      The brown will be there for about a week, it'll fall off in triple quick time.

                      And yes as a job for winter - perfect…...

                        Thank god for that, these will be my winter boots of choice now for a (mostly) daily wear, and the brown does look absolutely shit.

                              not quite a fan of the resole job but as long as it does the job…you're good to go 😉

                                The glue is strong, the pics are a bit misleading. I wasn't 100% happy with what was done, but it works and it was cheap, they'll go to Spokane for the star treatment in the spring, completely new resole, double leather rather than single.

                                    Don't you guys slip/fall a lot on cobbles/stony ground when it's wet and you wear leather soles? I had to get my leather 1000 miles rubbered.

                                    Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                          I enjoyed picturing this.  I don't wear my leather soles on ice.  If need be, I wear some other shoes and put the leather soles on once I get to work.

                                          Out with the new! In with the old!
