Is yours from the master line or the GY1? If it is the latter, I would just simply call it a day, unless it is some special upper like shell or you feel it is extremely comfortable and the upper is not too thrashed.

If so, try edetal.


I see. Thanks for the feedback.will think about what I want to do with it

I've got a question on GYR rubber soles. Given that it already has a rubber soles, does it make sense to topy or add taps to it?

Excellent opportunity to suss out a completely dishonest (or perhaps completely dense) cobbler: The one who will add topy or taps to your rubber sole shoes!

A cheap option is to add topy.

Caveat: No idea about the condition of your sole currently, but it may well cause more harm and instead accelerate the demise of your shoes if the current condition of the sole is 'no longer suitable' for topy. Again, takes a knowledgeable and honest cobbler to help you on that.

The best way to protect it is to bring two floor mats out with you. Lay one in front take a step forward. Lay another one in front. Pick up and repeat.

As a young man venturing into life, I aim to leave my mark upon this cruel cruel world.

That includes glorious skid marks from my Topys as I waltz my way through the vicious Lau Pa Sat lunch crowd. :D

I'm confused. So how can i protect a rubber sole GYW shoe?

I am not sure if there is a misunderstanding of terminology here. If your soles are rubber eg dainite soles, then there is no option to topy when it wears off. I believe u will need to resole with another dainite sole.

If your rubber soles refer to 'pre-topied' soles, eg tomir, then upon wear n tear it may be possible to replace or add-on a layer of topy.

That's just what i feel based on how i see it (i own both type of rubber sole shoes) and i am happy to be educated on this.

bought it from pedro

If you're a young lad making your first steps into the corporate world with a limited budget, don't feel too bad as even Pedro has its place in the market segment, though you could have done better with Bata Ambassadors. At least you're in this thread, salvation is near.

If you're a working adult, you should be ashamed of yourself...:vijayadmin:

Pedro just liquid kiwi good enough. Dont even bother wasting elbow grease with the wax variant. The **** bag cg leather will start peeling soon and the crap sole cracking soon enough. Add rain to accelerate decomposition if you'd wish.


Why don't you take some time to read this forum, at the same time. Additionally, for shoe care there is also a shoe shine thread.

That thread is dead brah?

Thanks for giving an honest and non troll answer. I think mine is the 'pre-topied soles'. The description says given a rubber forepart for extra durability. Well I'm guessing it can be topied when it wears off. Thanks for your answers!

Pics of the sole? You're worried about the threads or uneven wear? Normally gyw danite rubber soles we just let it be.

Frankly do whatever you want man. I think a tap is ok if you're anal about uneven wear. At the end of the day you're the one with the extra $180 to stretch on another pair while we're sending ours for resoles.

Another Japanese shoemaker, Hiro Yanagimachi, will be conducting trunk show in 2016 in Singapore.

https://www.facebook.com/HIROYANAGIMACHI?fref=nf

We plan to do the overseas trunk show starting from 2016. It will be hold in Scandinavia, Russia, Singapore and USA. We have understood that there are lots of diferences between the foot of Europeans/Americans and the Asians. To offer same service including MTO in these country as we do in Japan, we need to develop a new last and prepare fitting sample shoes. We are visiting Oslo on June 5th - 6th and Moscow on June 12th - 13th for fitting survey of this new MTO last, also bringing some shoe samples as an introduction of HIRO YANAGIMACHI. (Hiro)
