Allen Edmond PAIN

[Ray T.]

Hi

Just when you think you know better you still goof.Had a pair of Allen Edmonds with the casual soles to be redone and I didn't check them out good.(STUPID ME)Well the welt was loose at the toe on one and a little in the shank area about a inch.When I took it apart the whole welt came almost all the way off.After closer inspection they were re-crafted and new welts were sewn on but most in different holes but when the stitched the sole on it cut threw the welt stitching so when I cut the sole off the melted in my hands.I took the old stitches out out 3 times.Once being the welt then twice the stitching in the channel(chain stitch)then the third being the stitching in the ribbing so I could re- sew the welts in easy.They came out great but thats not the point.I waisted the morning and part of the afternoon getting them ready just for new midsoles.If I would of taken time at the counter like I should off I would of maybe caught the problem and at least of charged more.Life is a lesson well learned.

Re-crafted eh!!! I suspect by the manufacturer. If a good repairer had rewelted them, he would have used the same holes.........A mans best tools are his hands and not machines

 

O' and well done for doing the job properly Ray, me old son

 

 

carry on.............................
