So its very common stuff, these protective soles can be put on many soles, especially smooth leather, dress shoes, cowboy boots and it turns out old school cycling shoes.

I think they could be applied to modern as well with the right cobbler.

I have them on my last two pair of cowboy boots and its been awhile but I had quotes for these at 35 to 40-50, several wouldn't do it so you have to find "a guy, or gal".

I found a guy who didn't even hesitate, heels, soles and new piping around the back on both was $70. After it was done I had found another shop next to a tailor where I took some eddie bauer shirts to be repaired on eddies dime, talked to the gal there who said she would do them too for about the same $$$.

Shoes on the run on 8th and Morrison underneath the 7-11 is who did these.

If you have any good shoes that you want to last forever, these protective soles are worth every penny, both pair of cowboy boots that I have still look brand new after 30 yrs on one and 20yrs on the other, very thin, tough as nails, waterproof and way better traction all the way around.

I would work with them to maybe flatten the sole a bit to make them even more comfortable in the long run but I see these going a lot of miles.
