Michael Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 What do you guys charge for re-welting? I'm re-welting a pair at the moment, 3/4 of one shoe and 1/4 of the other + LLS and I've said about £100 but would like to give a properly worked out price, maybe £XX per inch for the welting, plus the LLS.

Gray Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I would have recommended a full rewelt. would make the job look so much better. Then I would charge £100 + ....... £100 for a 3/4 and 1/4 patchup sounds a bit steep to me. BUT it depends on the quality of the shoes and where you are and what soles you are using.

Michael Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I charge £65 for LLS so that's the main of the price. To be honest I didn't think of offering a full re-welt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys,feeling a little disappointed with myself for not thinking about this but I don't get these sort of jobs that often so was a little excited, and I suppose didn't want to lose the job. Any way here's the finished article,not too bad a job in the end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yes I've got new laces but he has ortho insoles in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'd still put something over the heel seats, they look shit like that, shame to spoil the job for the sack of a bit of leather. its not what you see, but what you don't see that makes a good repair.

Michael Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I asked him if he wanted me to put new insoles in but he said no,his ortho ones are made to fit and doesn't want to affect this. Customer is always right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
