Guest sjsarre Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi i've found this forum and wondered if anyone can help. I'm looking for someone who could fix my new boots that I had a bit of an accident with. I've only worn them once and well got the heel stuck in a grate in the road.

Peter / Sweden Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hm. New heel block A new leather full sole New zippers that match the new heel`s New upper that match the zippers And a stick on sole New top pieces And do you want a lining in the boot`s? Well, this little scratch can cost as much as you want, but i would just go to the nearest repairer and leave them there. no big deal. Don't send them anywhere. Post and package will cost you more than the work. This is really easy work. And if the repairer mess this one up, he (or she) are NOT a shoe repairer. Wont cost you more than a few buck`s.

Guest sjsarre Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 They are Jones boots, cost me £48 in a sale were £132 out of the sale. I've only worn them once for 30minutes. Just wanted the heel replaced or repaired but I live nowhere near a shoe repair place I live in the channel islands and the shoe repair place over here just consists of replacing the bottom of the heel once its worn away - I took it into them and they said they only re heel they don't repair!!!

Bren Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 That repair should take about 5 minutes and cost less than a tenner. If your nearest place can't do it then they're not shoe repairers. Bring 'em to Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 bit of yankee wax and wear trousers, sorted,, tenner Well that post is an embarassment to the trade, and should be removed, for the good of our industry. "fill it with yankee wax & wear trousers.... Tenner" my god. I'd be ashamed to even think that, never mind post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 only having a laugh big boy, the whole topic is a joke No Inquiry on this site made by a member of the public is a joke to me! Sure some topics descend into a massive debate, yet much is learned by them. As always with EVERY inquiry made to the site, I have PM'd the customer to offer my services to get the repair they need. As always its up to the customer to decide which if any of our members they choose to use. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sjsarre Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the help Lee. It might be a bit of a joke to some people, but living where I do its not believe me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 only having a laugh big boy, the whole topic is a joke I fail to see the funny side!!! Can you enlighten me as to what is funny smurf? The subject would made an ideal tutorial if sections from a Stacked Cover or a substitute, were used to replace the damaged ones before new top-pieces were fitted.

kobblers Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 less than a tenner to redo both heels to match? maybe a tenner if it was just the bottom parts that are the most obvious but i can see further markings up the sides rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 less than a tenner to redo both heels to match?maybe a tenner if it was just the bottom parts that are the most obvious but i can see further markings up the sides rick. £4.50 for PU's plus a fiver for re-cover and touching up. Obviously it's hard to give a quote without having the boot 'in hand' but from those pics the job looks simple enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
