Thanks for the explanation guys. I have to say that the last of the shoe has significantly changed because I am pronating more on my right side than before they were done. Not sure what I should do at this point becAuse as was pointed out these probably weren't the highest quality shoes to begin with and pumping more and more money into them doesn't make financial sense when I could save up for a higher quality shoe like grensons. (I bought a pair of beautiful chukas from rider boot shop). I do know now that I will never go back to this guy though! Thanks again.

Alan, I'll take those 9D trees off your hands, just to prevent significant damage to your 9C shoes. biggrin.gif

Hi LR,

Here's the break down

1 pair of Saint Crispin's Model 524 in TCK039 with leathersole: € 800
hollowed shoe trees: € 90
metal tips: € 20
initialing :€ 20

There's a 20% off for 1st orders, so the shoes and shoe trees cost € 744 after discount.

Unfortunately, shipping was really expensive , at €125 to Singapore.

DWF - was really a joke and not a shot at you or your explanation--cllearly of greater value to have the expert opine and provide the technical details.

well, shoes are too important to make jokes. next time please wait until somebody has to say something of value, not?

Fritzl I believe my original comment was of significant value. My second was a humorous statement of agreement. Humor itself has a great value--especially here in la la land.
