It's been a long time since I wore these Berluti's

I recently had these Loake Kews refurbished at the factory and this is their first outing since. I particularly like the way they have polished the uppers to create a deeper colour as these (fairly accurate) before and after pics show:

Nice job.
Can I ask what the cost of the resole is nowadays?

£80 including postage. I took mine to my local Loake stockist and they took care of it all. They came back in a new box and, as I say, in some ways are nicer than before. It is a shame the Kew is no longer made...

Thanks for that, new shoes for £80 is a pretty good deal. Nice to know.

 

[Mr Knightley]

Yes, I think it a reasonable price for the service offered and it's relatively quick too at around four weeks:

What would be the replacement for these if they don't make them anymore and in last shape ?

Well, there is nothing quite like them on the Loake website. The Kew was part of what was called the Shoemaker 'Comfort' range and priced somewhere between the usual Shoemaker product and the 1880 range.

Today, you would probably need to go up to the 1880 range to find comparable quality and this is the closest in terms of design (but with Dainite sole):
