Necropost but they used texon wrapped in leather. Loads of other Blake/rapid and Blake stiched shoes do the exact same thing for more money. Sure full leather would be great and I'll bet 3rd Party cobblers would be happy to oblige if you resole them with someone other than Rancourt. Note that rancourt actually replaces the insole when you resole the shoes with them.It's the "fiberboard" that I have an issue with. I cannot imagine paying nearly $400 for a pair of shoes with cardboard insoles. How much more would it cost them to use a leather (actual leather, not leatherboard) insole? How much are they saving by putting a paper product in there instead?
