cookiealexd123@gmail.com Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Anyone know how one goes about protecting rubber soles? I always wear down the outer corner of my shoes. My cobbler informed me Blakeys would just slide out of a rubber heel so I am at a loss as to what I can do. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_ Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Samuel Windsor make lovely uppers but their rubber/leather soles and heels are really poor. Take them to a good repairer and ask for his best quality soles/heels to be added. If he is any good he will use something far superior to the original and they will last you much much longer than what S.Windsor have fitted.

Having said that I wear a pair most days to work in. I own about 6 pairs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfman Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 the outside of the heel will always wear down no mater what you put on them putting rubber segs on may prove just as pointless as steel ones unless you know the correct adhesive to use for the material that the sole unit is made of there is no such thing as one glue sticks all ,plus the fact you could end up taking the pitch and balance out of the shoe creating wear on the medial side of the shoe keithm and MartyCoggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
