x minit uk Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well I go by the degree of difficulty, ie what sort of shoe. material, how long will it take to get the pitch right, that sort of thing. So on a bog standard ladies flatish shoe with a 1/2' raise on the sole and heel I would charge £18 for one shoe, thats about 2 layers of micro, which equates to one sole and heel on a normal repair,if you can see where I coming from. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 We have 2 experts on hand in the way of Elfman & Gingerbas, perhaps if they are about they can give a professional opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfman Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 hi danny as x minit says it all depends on the raise required but hes not far off with his pricing i.e by the time the orthopeadic company add on allthe codes they can total anywhere between £18.5O TO £22.50 for the first inch and £8 per inch or part of after now before you answer x minit the reson for the reduction in price for the second inch is becouse its only another layer of micro and we have acess to 6 8 12 18 and 25mm sheets of micro and at those prices you can make a tidy some for asmall outlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I agree with elfman, but I always take into account the time it will take. IE if the build up is going straight on top its much easier, so therefore cheaper. I always were possible cut the unit and insert the build up in-between or remove the unit and replace after the build up, It costs the customer more money but the result looks much better.

elfman Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 order came into day requesting cork raise to shoe herewith raise to be 7 1/4 inch mid heel 6 1/4 inchtread 5 1/4 at toe quoted £160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I presume this would be a leather covered cork riase with the original sole then put onto the cork raise!! If so then a fair price for consultancy standard work. How about taking a few pics and let some of the heel bar operators see what is involved in real Repairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 quite correct hugh all cork raises should be leather coverd i would not do it any other way ,this is a size 5 ladies kicker shoe, the order was for an arched bridged raise but i advised that as it was a wedge style sole unit then an arched waist would look out of place if i can make time to take a picture then i will but as i have between 30 and 40 raises of varying hieghts arriving on a weekly basistime is tight hence the stopping of any while u wait work for the forseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever did the one off's for the Paraplegic games, most were 4" raises on complicated sports shoes, some with spikes for Steeplechases.

ironplanet uk900 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Surley a lift that high needs some sort of ankle protection, Caliper, or a more rigid boot design. Extremely dangerious to walk on. But a nice job all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
