Cool job! Particularly loved how you fixed Visvims with Svig offcuts. How much a service like that costs?

Could be anywhere between €10 at a local cobbler and €50 at shoe repair atelier which specializes in full resoling services. Mine was €40 for left and right shoes together. This protector replacement job at toes and heels is a pretty basic one. So, unless it’s a special pair and you want to make sure a cobbler takes extra care of it, the lower price range is totally fine.

Were the stitched through toes on the Visvims... intentional?

Haha right😁’The quality we choose’ as visvim put it.

Not an excuse, but still love these boots for so many different reasons.

Yeah, and that’s the most annoying part! Because the only reason to do this is to show off that hey, we do Goodyear — and that’s exactly where the protector cracked 😬
