petercoulson Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 its a strange thing but in some areas there is a huge amount of call for a blake but in others, like you, there is hardly any. it varies from town to town. either that or repairers have heard you can blake on anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Funny how you can manage without a blake though, 40 years and never had one. I don't think I would even invest in an outsole stitcher these days. I can't count the number of welted shoes I've seen butchered by a blake.
