[QUOTE="user 4351, post: 535656, member: 4351"] Thank you all for the suggestions. I haven't heard of any of the companies suggested, but you can bet I'll be looking into them. I've talked with a few cobblers, though most of them have said the shoes I buy aren't worth repairing (my "go-to" brand at the local Walmart is $20 to $40 a pair). Most have suggested taps, cleats, or other "add-ons" to the shoes to help deter the wear and tear, but again, they've suggested not adding such things to the shoes I get. One said he'd flat-out refuse to do anything to the shoe, because it would amount to "damage" on it, not any kind of boon for it. That's what's led me on the hunt for a good shoe--one worth repairing. Then I could make additions without concern of the addition tearing the shoe up due to poor quality, and the shoe itself would last the normal wear and tear I put on it. [/QUOTE]
