Guest byegeorge Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi lawman, I have been reading about your soltrack DIY stick-on heels. But where can I buy them! I look forward to hearing from you or anyone else who can help. Byegeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWMAN Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi Byegeorge, We are now selling them to Birch, College and Healey. We also sell to DCS Europe Plc who are a major distributor to "Woolworth" type shops and hardware retailers. We have regular dispatches going to all of these wholesalers so availability shouldn't be a problem. regards Lawman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Lawman, do you have any plans to sell the adhesive separately? Cheers, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeemz Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 so the trick is in the glue rather than the heel? why would regular glue not work sorry i dont do shoe repairs but get asked regularly but i cant seem to find a way to get training in basic repairs with having to run full time shop..stick on soles and heels seems starting point any ideas?

LAWMAN Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi Rick, It is something we are considering and we have looked into, however at this time we still have not put any tube only products into production! I will raise the issue again and see if we are any close to doing this. Just out of interest would a packed product be suitable or lose tubes that you could sell on in your own kits? regards Lawman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I don't wanna make my own kits, we get asked for glue quite a lot but they don't always want to pay for Stormsure. Loose would be better, keeps the costs down Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simes Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I get asked for these fairly regularly but don't stock them out of principle! However, I'm interested in other peoples viewpoints. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I get asked for these fairly regularly but don't stock them out of principle! However, I'm interested in other peoples viewpoints. What do you think? if you are losing sales because you dont stock them,then i'd say get them in,better to get something rather than nothing imo,especially if you have any competitors near you who sell them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Principal. I thought this too for a few months, then stocked them anyway. Been selling OK ever since. Haven't noticed any drop in work. In fact I always tell them my price for doing the job for them, often they say "well in that case you might as well do them" so I've actually picked up a few repairs because of them!
