Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread
Herring don't manufacture themselves, all their shoes are made abroad or by Loake/Barkers/Cheaney. Herring was sold to Pavers a couple of years ago but continues as it's own entity. The Herring Premier were using the AS Handgrade lasts. I read a few posts back about the herring 1966 last (?)...- Groover

Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread
Barker have laid staff off and along with the other companies are struggling. Don't forget they only produce a small percentage locally, the majority of their uppers are cut & closed overseas and then shipped to the UK. Grenson. Tim Little maintains a small factory/distribution center in the...- Groover

They went into Administration on the 15/01/2021. Monday 01/02/2021 was the cut-off for offers to be presented to the administrators. It remains to be seen what the outcome of that was.- Groover

Cheaney Factory Repair
It's a good job they do but the uppers look like they've only been polished but not refinished. I hope I'm wrong on this as my Mock Croc Cheaney boots will need redoing soon. That's a question for the factory I guess. It's unlikely they'll strip the leather down completely, more a case of...- Groover

Cheaney Factory Repair
Did they inform you or even keep track of the number of times you can send the shoes back for recrafting? The reason I'm asking is because I was told by C&J that I could only re-sole my shoes one more time, which effectively puts the limit at 2 full recraftings. I wonder if this is a company...- Groover

Cheaney Factory Repair
Many thanks, that's good to know. I'll give them a ring and see what they say. AS Bengal says a re-heel is fine. I've had many pairs re-heeled and then sent them in for a full resole.- Groover

Alfred Sargent Handgrade - Pictures
Groover, Can tell you that Chay can do pretty much anything in terms of medallions. If you want something in particular you should shoot AS an e-mail and Chay will work with you on it. Thanks Burton, It's something I've considered in the past and will continue to give some thought to.- Groover

Alfred Sargent Handgrade - Pictures
Have you polished these shoes after receiving them or do the pics show them as they were received? I ask this because I feel that a shoe at this price and of handgrade profile should not be sent out with black polish/cream accumulating around the seams on the upper, or black strikes near the...- Groover

Those Dovers ae nice! At the risk of dating myself and sounding like a trekkie nerd, this question reminds me of the simulation that Capt.

Cheaney Factory Repair
Looking good! I wonder, originally the boots had soles stitched aloft, now after the refurbishment, they are channelled (and have a painted waist). Did you ask for it especially, or was that just the way Cheaney did it? If you did ask for it, are there different prices for channelled and...- Groover

Cheaney Factory Repair
After 7 weeks they were ready. (They've subsequently been worn once) They were re-lasted, heels, soles, welts, cork filler removed. The uppers were re-finished, new welts, soles & heels. New heel sock. Total cost £80.00. Excellent value imo.- Groover

Cheaney Factory Repair
A lot of members often ask for opinion on factory repair/refurbishments, I'd thought I'd share some pictures and thoughts on the Cheaney Factory Repair service. The boots in question are a pair of Cheaney Carlton, purchased in Aug 2006. They've had moderate wear over that time and last September...- Groover
