^Not bad at all. I was thinking it would have cost 100+

[mrbeuys]

$48

Mate, 50 bucks to make your 1200 bucks sneakers last forever doesn't strike me as pricey. Looks really good.

Looks good, ghettosalazar. Those'll last for fucking ever.

[magic]

why the taps... on sneakers?

[Servo2000]

So does your pair have like a little 'heel' now thanks to the insert? I think I prefer sphoxx's version where it was inserted into the crepe / sole so as to keep it flat.

It's a lot more hard wearing than the sole so it was placed at a strategic point that gets a lot of wear.

heel taps on sneakers.....it must be what "lulwut" was made for

True, but since sneakers started costing $1200 revisionism naturally polluted reason.

[Servo2000]

Speaking of which - on the inner part of my sneakers one of the back panels that's sewn shut to keep the 'padding' blew almost completely off. Don't think I can or should wear them until I get them fixed - does anyone know if I could ship them to the place where people are having their repairs done in New York to have the repairs done / and Sphoxx's inserts put in? I don't know if there's anywhere around here that can do it.

[ghettosalazar]

taps weren't my choice, but they never last long anyways

[DamageX]

Forgive my ignorance but is it possible to put on the rubber sole without the taps?

[Piffen]

^ No problem, at all.

Dropped mine off at The Firm... very eager to get them back now =]
