Did you use thesun a cobbler jase?
I've topied a couple just to prolong their life and have toe taps on others. I know some people are against them aesthetically but to be honest- I don't get too many comments about how good the soles of my shoes look.
Brice's is also owned by Paul's family. His late father, Michelle, often used to work there on a weekend. Highly recommended. There really should be a sticky about shoe repairer's in Australia and Topy's.

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the whole point of topy is that one does not need to resole, just replace the topy that also lasts 2 to 3 times longer.

So I walked into Harold's today and they had a beautiful Dark brown PAL Zileri trench however.....it was $2300.
any thoughts on how to source it cheaper from the states or overseas?
Should i go back in there, find out the model number and just use an overseas proxy?
Great read, cheers.
At least I'll get a feel of them as I've never put rubber "protection" on the soles of my shoes. I just chuck on in-soles for extra cush.
Thanks for the bolded tip. I would've strolled into the cobblers with brand new shoes! Makes sense now.Your welcome. You might want to wear them a few times just so the soles take the shape of your foot a bit faster. It's not really necessary as I think the inner and mid soles adjust to the bottom of your foot, not the out sole, so the Topy doesn't really affect it. I'd also recommend a few coats of a good wax polish on the toes of those, it'll save you from scuffing toe box.
I gave them a few coats of leather conditioner, and about 3 coats of wax polish on the toe box and heel counter.Your welcome.
