you are completely wrong. the nails in the bottom of a heel are to hold the FINAL layer of the heel on only. Makers are aware that a heel will need to be replaced several times over in a shoe's lifetime. If five or so nails were driven through and subsequently removed each time the heel itself would fall to pieces. The heel is held on and together by nails from the inside of the shoe down.
Thanks! I'm a fan of Augusta and my heart sank for a moment.
can I actually give a sole protection for my sneakers?..and If i want to do that, so I just bring it to the nearest cobblers?
btw, any recommended cobblers in melbourne?

that is exactly what im looking for. i'm guessing the sole was supplied by the cobbler you went to? i like how they even went to all the troubles of cutting out a circle for the sizing number to show. thats dedication.
i've been to 5 cobblers here in sydney and they all supplied topy's only. sigh.
/\ You got it wrong. The main rubber sole with the ridges is the original. I only had the heel portion replaced because that was the only area showing wear.
Anybody know a good cobbler in San Francisco, or elsewhere in the Bay Area?
Alternately, do any of the (LA, NYC, etc) places in the CONUS take mailorder work?
I have a variety of both classic men's shoes as well as more SZ type shoes that need some careful attention, and the cheap and cheerful guy I have been using just doesn't have the attention to detail.
