Supplier for Sole Guard


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am knew here. Hope everyone is well. I am looking for a product called sole guard. Another cobbler put this under the soles which makes the sole last 4 times longer. We would like to offer this service. Does anyone know of a supplier of the product?

 

Thanks.

Its a really thin rubber sheeting that they put on under the sole and heal to protect it. Very low profile, unlike some stick on sole.

 

As Keith says, how about using a Vibram stick a sole? At 1mm, it's much better than 1.8mm if thickness (thinness?) is your ultimate aim.

i have to disagree with that statement are you saying that if you do not have a press then you are not a serious repairer ,so all the shoe repairersfrom years ago that operrated without apress before they became widly available wre not serious about there work .sorry to say that sounds very much like an insult to a lot of old repairers

A lot of taxi drivers were serious about their work many years ago, but you don't see many taxi drivers driving horses & carriages these days do you?

 

Okay, it's a random analogy, but you get my point... I hope :-{{{

Elfman, 'years ago' as you put it, repairers had the good fortune in dealing predominently with Leather and Rubber. The materials used in footwear today lend themselves to be repaired with a press, in order to gain a more effective bond. Those of you that know me, know I am a repairer at heart, I was a repairer for 24 years myself. I would never discredit a fellow repairer or our trade on purpose and I don't belive I have on this issue :wink:
