Happy Dude Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 i know they are a touchy subject but i've just leather soled and heeled a pair for the 3rd time... =D> the upper on the left one if cracking at the creases but the right is still perfect... just sharing as i'm amazed because they aren't exactly the most top notch brand.... cheers...

Count Muppet Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 The uppers on these aren't fantasitic but if looked after they do seem to last for a reasonable amount of time. The soles and welts are shocking though. You definately get what you pay for with these. Whenever customers ask me what I think I tell them that they will last them til they can save up for some loakes as long as they bring them in for some decent soles and heels straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I must admit, the last couple of pairs of SW I have repaired have been improved with much better welts sewn in the right way. So perhaps they have learned from their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Ideal cheap shoes for competition work... just replace the Leather bits No, seriously these are good for comps if you replace the heel blocks and sole units. Uppers are good and it seems that the Welts are now up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
