Helen..is there a diy Kit that you can recommend??
It was just what he had instore. It was a Timpsons. It had it's own glue and you trimmed the soles to fit your shoe. I was just so mad that he wouldn't even attempt to do anything. Just told me there was no point and nothing he could do..I even had to demand that he sold me the kit. It's not like I was asking him to pay for it :mad:0 -
The cobbler has told me that, as the soles are plastic and not rubber, that he will have to replace the whole sole at a cost of £60 (OMG!!). He won't just stick something on to the plastic sole to cover the holes as, he says, it'll just come off again before too long.
THANKS
Amazon have some pairs in the sale for less than £60 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_i_0?rh=k%3Aecco+boots%2Ci%3Ashoes&keywords=ecco+boots&ie=UTF8&qid=1313179959#/ref=sr_st?keywords=ecco+boots&qid=1313179967&rh=k%3Aecco+boots%2Cn%3A355005011&sort=price
I know you have said you don't want a new pair but as the ones you have will be past season you may be able to pick up a new pair the same that are heavily discounted due to them being from a previous season.
Good luckIf you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0
