I sent my Alden's into B. Nelson on 03/13 - It'll be interesting to see when I get them back.

I don't see pricing on his website for flush metal toe plates??

I recently dropped off and received my RL Marlow shell loafers. C&J wanted $210, BN charged $90. Was very pleased with the results.

$35 each pair. They do an excellent job, think I've taken about 5 pairs over to them in the few weeks I've been over here in NY

IIRC $45.

Edit: Perhaps I did not recall correctly.

Question, say I want to resole a shoe originally Goodyear welted with a leather sole - it's now dead and I'm considering putting a Vibram Cristy or what not - does that qualify as a casual shoe for $60?

Pretty sure it's $35, unless they recently raised the price.

I emailed Nick about this last year for some Allen Edmonds goodyear-welted rubber-soled shoes.

Are they good for the $60 casual footwear treatment or would they need a higher-grade recrafting?

We can put a Vibram sole on them.
$60.00 plus S&H.

Best,

Nick

I just wanted to let everyone on here know that Nick just did an AWESOME job on my Alden 660's. It took about a month for the turn around. A week to get there and a week to get back. All in all you're looking at about 2 weeks to do everything. I am impressed and I want to have my LHS beef rolls done with a Dainite sole but that will cost me $150ish I have been told.

Ugh that's awesome, I may have to speak with him haha.

Just had these babies done by B. Nelson. Bought on ebay, had them sent to B. Nelson, Nick fixed them up and sent them to me. Splendid job.





The downside is that I gambled and lost - they're a tad too small.

But hats off to B. Nelson - great stuff, and highly recommended.

Wait, you bought shoes on ebay and sent them to be resoled before trying them on?
