@voodoo1988 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. A few comments: 1) My shoemaker dips the screws into resin before screwing them into. That way you don't have water going in, he says. Did your guys also do it or is that not a necessity? 2) premature wear at the tip can also be fixed by a cobbler by only replacing the tip w/ a new leather part. You'd keep the bulk of your original sole (since it still has wear) and only add a small piece of new leather to the tip. 3) sole protectors don't need to add to your sole. My shoemaker sanded down the original sole ever so slightly (w/o going into the stitching) and then glued the rubber on. It sits flush with the waist of the sole. This combined w/ a toeplate is the ultimate protection.

As always a very interesting video. Here in the UK I remember back in the 1950's/60's workmen often had metal plates on their boots. They were called SEGS and you could buy a selection of sizes and shapes on a card from Woolworths for very little money and hammer them on yourself, especially if you had an old Cobbler's Last. You could also buy HOB NAILS to hammer into the soles (Hob Nailed Boots) very popular with coal miners. Showing my age!

@TheElegantOxford 4 года назад

That’s awesome! Thanks for for sharing. Personal Stories like that are invaluable and great to hear. I’ll see you on the next video.

@stefanoangrisano3537 4 года назад

The first time I went to UK was in 1974, I was 17; at the time the most common shoes among boys were cowboy boots with tapered heels that wore too fast. So I did as many British guys did, and had a local cobbler add metal plates to my boots' heels. It was very common to hear the loud clicking when walking in the streets, and slipping was very common too.

I go for Sole Guards because they are the most practical for me. I live in a tropical country. Despite the dress shoes meant for office and events whereby I'm indoors most of the time, can't escape the wet pavements. I've started to favour dress shoes that come with Dainite soles too, for this reason of being more practical.

@___1980. 4 года назад

Excellent excellent Preston👌🏼 I’ve got to to say I personally think the best option would be getting JR soles (Double) then put a nice Magna Sole Protector and heel guard or get the Dainite Soles and just add a heel guard too. Best way to preserve any shoe, I did this on my prior Ferragamos and made them last 16 years with me wearing them everyday. The click clack of a leather sole is nice, but a quality shoe is an investment. 🤝

@totalbliss1 4 года назад

That's what I'm thinking of doing. With your sole protector and heel guards, how long did it last before you resoled them or put in new heel guards?

@hviktorio 4 года назад

I personally prefer the metal toe plates. They work even better on shoes with chiseled toe design, as the toe area of the sole drags more against the pavement. I had lulu tips put on after a resole done by Trenton&Heath and another ones on Magnanni resole where I had Steve Douduklian remove all rubber soles and put on JRs. I’d do it on any resole going forward. I don’t personally like the sole savers, as the leather sole allows better breathability of the shoe while wearing in dry warm weather. Great video!

@paddyotoole2058 7 месяцев назад

This is all completely in your head and a total fantasy. Your shoe is not “breathing” through its sole. Putting a sole saver on will not have any effect on the internal shoe environment of the shoe.

regarding the sole guards you showed, i have vibram sole guards on several pairs of shoes i own. they're different from the ones you showed because they're vibram soles, and barely add any height to the shoes. also, the cobbler did a good job of sanding down enough of the entire sole area where the sole guard fits into to just to ensure that there's no extra height formation

Preston, triumph is what is written on the toe plate, but my shoe repairer said the actual name is (Boulevard) now very popular and i have started inserting it on the toe of my shoes. Here in the (UK) to have it inserted on toe of pair of shoes is (£25) but they actually look very elegant on shoes.

A lot of people are using iPad screen protectors to cover the bottoms of their Christian louboutin red bottoms and it works so well. The entire bottoms look perfect after many many uses. And it helps with grip because of the rubbery/plastic of the screen protector. Obviously it’s to keep the red from scraping off. But I noticed it Keeps the flat bottoms nice. Maybe it would work for you.

When I was a teen over forty years ago, I used to use metal taps on heel and toe but they where definitely slippery but we enjoyed the sound of them clacking and scraping when we walked. I have been for the last thirty years using sole savers but they are unattractive and I add the cheap nail on taps to the toe as well to help them last but they are ugly underneath. I do like the French tips and wonder if the brass nails in the heels are for looks or add a little life to the heels
