I thought rubber soles are gd?

Good for rainy days since they have better grip, but not as nice looking as leather soles.

got a pair of goodyear welt shoes that I need rubber soles put on to. any recommendations? don't want the cobbler to butcher my shoes. a reasonable price would be nice.

thinking of adding rubber soles to my new pair of herrings also (it's just shipped, haven't even reach me). I walk alot, and given singapore's weather, rubber soles fit my lifestyle more

i rem ppl recommending shukey/mister mint? like $4x for vibram soles?

I bought a Morondi

Anyone heard of Morandi shoes? I bought a pair @ bangkok and it cost about 330sgd after 10 percent discount. Didnt manage to find any info on the website.

Not sure if it is the same, but I got a pair of Morandi shoes from Robinsons at S$119. Was usually at S$359 then they had a sale recently. This week is final mark-down. They have a few pair of Loake and Barker shoes too.

i think there is another morandi called carlo morandi... the shoes will come with a cert stated it is made in italy. wonder is it the same.

for the cobbler to add on rubber soles, do they do it only for the front? or the heel as well?

 

[sputnikmoment]

Can a cobbler add rubber soles to an espadrille?

 

[studmufn]

they do both. in fact, most people do the heel cos that's the part that wears out first.

I read before that you should apply some conditioner first, as well as shoe polish or wax to protect it.

How much do they cost? It came with freebies?

still breaking in the shoes, the leather quite stiff n hard, sometimes pain

Hi guys, do you all have any tips to break in shoes? Need to break in 2 pairs, so far only worn 1 of them. Gave me blisters on my heel, now resorting to putting on plasters before wearing them.

just gotta keep wearing them, one fine day when u decide not to paste plaster, u will suddenly feel no pain

Don't wear them for too long at once or walk too far initially.

 

[tildveryn]

by right good and fitting shoes should not give pain or blisters
