The Cobbler Vs the Footbreak sole.
I took a brand new pair of shoes and a pair of footbreak soles into a cobbler and asked him to fit them.
He has done such a good job that it looks like the shoe came out of the factory that way.
Now I have a pair of shoes that I can skate to work in and then wear around the office without looking like povo white trash.
$35 well spent!
I will attempt to post some photos later.

Sliding is not a great idea when you are going down a steep foot path packed with people in the middle of the city!

making your footbrake look good and apart of the shoe is the easy part (if you use shoe goo). its getting it off the tyre thats the hard part.

leigh, please explain, do u nab the rubber off the wall of the tire or do u pull all the shitting wires out of the main grit?

you cut down to the wire, but not any further. u then peel back from the wire. depending on the tire this could be easy or near impossible...

yeah, you gotta grab ya pliers and peel off that layer that sits on top of the wire. but you gotta cut down to that wire and make yourself a rectangle big enough to fit your shoe with a stanley knife first.
once you get a grasp of one of those corners of the rectangle, you peel back as much as you can and use your stanley to slice the layer off the wire. its tricky and will take ages, but if you sit yourself in front of the tele its less painful. unless of course you decide to watch The Nanny.

the secret is getting the right tyre,.....ive always paid a cobbler to glue and trim it,...ends up super neat and stays on forever.
