footbreaking soles.

i bought some vans in perth and after about 10 weeks need some footbreak sole on the left one because its worn down where i push at the front. I would buy from hopkin but they are out of stock
http://www.hopkin.com.au/hopkin-racing-footbreak-soles.html
boardshop doesnt seem to have any and cre8ive sk8 doesnt have a website so im hoping they have some, otherwise, does anyone know where i can get some?
i dont really want to use car tyre because when i try to cut stuff i normally mess it up but if anyone knew even what to ask for at a clark rubber or something id be stoked. thanks

contact sakamoto. he sells soles which are basically identical to the rogers brothers brake soles except for much cheaper.

oh thanks leigh, because i normally stuff stuff up im gonna go with robbo, if i send you an envelope with my left shoe $20 and a self adressed stamped envelope would you be able to send it back to me all ready to roll?
or if its $20 for two ill send both of my shoes.

ill check with my parents and convince them why i have to post my vans to sydney with $20 and an extra envelope :D this is going to be fun :)

dont send a self addressed envelope, if your sending the shoes we may as well glue them to your shoe as well. Its a tricky process and easy to get it wrong if its your first time glueing a footbreak. Send us your shoes and purchase the soles online and we will cut em out, glue em on, let em set and send em back to you

i think you missed what i meant jacko. i wanted you guys to stick them on so i was just going to send down my shoes, along with the money and an envelope for you to put the shoes back in when they had the sole on, that way you guys dont have to waste time buying stamps etc.

i didnt misunderstand what you said im just finding it hard to see how u can fit shoes in an envelope... if your referring to a proper postage bag thats a different story but shoes in an envelope?
We send things out through express post, its free postage with every purchase, so you wont have to worry about sending us an 'envelope' to return the shoes with, and we won't have to worry about finding stamps either =)

sure. if you want to put cash through the mail thats your call. Make sure you let us know what your address is (pm it to me, dont post it up here....) and we will send em back to you with footbreaks glued onto them.
And its $20 for each sole so for two shoes its $40

As long as i remember, it's 6mm thick (not enough to make you walk funny)
