Does anyone happen to know where I can purchase or perhaps at least look at some options for soles similar to the Rick creeper soles (standard rick creeper boots, 2010 to be exact) ? I usually take my stuff to Firm but I'd assume that they wouldn't have the exact or close enough replacement. I'm also completely new to replacing/fixing thicker soles so anything helps!Originally posted by FaustHOBBY?! HOBBY?!?!?!?!?!

While there arent any cobblers here in my place do the vibram sole, Im thinking of doing it myself. However, I could not find anywhere that sell the vibram rubber heel. I tried to find it on amazon - where i found the rubber half sole, but seems that they only have the goodyear heel pad. Im wondering if thats okay to use the vibram one for the sole and the goodyear one for the heel?
And any recommendations for the glue?

Vibram is just one brand of rubber soles, while it's considered one of the best its certainly not the only good one. The name is often used synonymously with aftermarket rubber soles even if they are another brand.
If you can find a good cobbler, chances are they have some good quality soles and heels even if they are not Vibram."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

So I bought a pair of the Rick laceless Hiker boots and unfortunately after two weeks of wear, this happened. (proper size and all)
Fortunately my cobbler put some T8 Lampo zippers on and they feel good as new. Just surprised they literally pulled apart so soon. Rick in NYC didn't know where to get the matching zippers and Raccagri (SP) didn't respond.

I recently picked up a pair of Guidi boots and am also looking for a reputable cobbler in Ottawa (Montreal or Toronto too even). I'm pretty baseless and have no idea where/how to start looking

Definitely do not go to Sole Survivor in Kensington. Ladies there are nice, but are actually fucking dumb when it comes to shoes. She flat out refused to topy my heel because "it's too difficult."

Or you can call The Firm in NYC and see if they accept mail-in orders. Prepay postage and whatnot.

Much appreciated.
