Cheaney

[SuitedDx]

Curious if anyone has used Cheaney's recrafting services recently. It's at 120 GBP and coming from the US, resole will be >$200. I know the benefits of sending to the factory as I have G&G perform my recrafts, but the price point of Cheaney puts me on pause. The other factor as I'm in NYC so there are a couple excellent cobblers.

I have twice so far. It only makes sense for favourite items. It isn't always economically sensible even living near the factory given that I have often bought seconds or sale items.

Thanks for the response. It's the shipping both ways that add up to the cost else I wouldn't mind. It's a pair I'm on the fence on and likely replace with rubber soles so I'll probably just have them done locally. Cheers!

Worth it for a real favourite pair I guess.

Lovely colour, are those on the 12508 last?

Yes they are. ☺

Yes they are. ☺

Is their colour accurate in your photo?
My experience has been that Cheaney's product images are darker than in reality.

It was overcast when I snapped that picture so they look a little darker than they really are. If you look at Crafty's Instagram account he wore the same boots today. His picture is more accurate in showing the color. I am not going to post his picture without his permission. Let me know if you can't find it. He also posted pictures of them back in April (~23 weeks ago).

Anyone familiar with an "S" written on the tongue? Does that mean seconds/subs perhaps? I have seen the S inside a circle stamped on the soles of Cheaney subs before but have not seen it on the tongue.
