gouldy88 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I asked him and showed him the shoes and he said only crepe would stick to crepe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I wouldn't call him a liar, what you have to consider is training.... he might genuinely believe what he told you to be correct. Try an independent they will sort the repair for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 they would be a piece of cake to convert to leather sole and heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I would have offered to strip the crepe off and done a standard thru sole, not messing about with the wedge. And I ain't lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gouldy88 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Got my shoes back today from the Merry Cobbler in Derby. Excellent service and the shoes are great. The guy said they were tough to get off but he managed it and fitted leather sole and heel blocks (no wedge sole) in less than a 48 hour turnaround over a Saturday/Sunday. Can't ask for better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
