It's the difference in the angle of the waists that shocks me. :shock:

Amongst the other points previously mentioned above. =D>

 

Still, in this day & age, isn't it nice to see a craftsman, proud of his work. =D> ](*,) :wink: ](*,) =D>

And even if they're boots from 2 different pairs, what on earth is going on with the angle of the waist on the boot on the right hand side in the photo????

Can there possibly ever be a situation where you'd repair at that angle?

Has Peter Smith (the owner) actually sanctioned this video? Is he aware of it? Does he condone this repair? :shock: High class shop like that putting out shocking work, imho. Can't believe it, only spoke to him 2 days ago :?

 

There is a link to this video via there own website ....http://www.busybeenewmarket.co.uk/shoe_repair.php

 

So he must be aware ............................... :shock:

Drink driving can be got away with for years. But just once having a accident and the consequences are severe.

 

An extract from my website.

 

Without exception I only full sole riding boots. I am seeing new boots with cemented (glued) rubber inserts on the sole, or a rubber ½ stick on sole. Horse manure is corrosive, it attacks adhesive, and sets up a chemical reaction with brass or steel nails. These soles spring, making a perfect V that traps the boot in the stirrup, with potential lethal consequences.

 

Just one crippling or lethal accident, and will the layers accept I did not know the risks. It is not worth the consequences.
