Hello friends,
Apologies for a mundane 4D style thread but I am embarking on the exciting journey that is shoe repair for the first time. I have a £2 coin sized hole in the sole of my snappy daps.
My questions are:
Can anyone recommend a place in Swindon?
Is there a waiting list for such services or do they do it 'same day'?
Does having a complete re-sole (if this is possible of course) make your shoes look shit?
Thank you in advance and may you all have many sons

I've had shoes re-soled at the cobblers at the bus station before. I think they did them the same day.

Not in the Q&A forum = fail.
Back to the question, just walk around town for a bit, what with all the chewing gum and the law of averages your hole will soon be filled.
Or, get some expanding foam.

Not your usual meaning of 'fill your boots' then DMR? |

Not really I have a pair of Loakes that I paid £350 for over 10 years ago and I still wear them twice a week. Needless to say they are still in great condition. How much have you spent on shoes in a similar period ? |

I can cope with paying a few hundred for a pair of handmade leather shoes from a firm like Loakes. Not for a pair of Daps though. My Mrs says this is because I'm a miserable old bastard. |
