He is quite entertaining in a funny kind of way...

He is focused and I like that...

Can your C&Js survive five resoles? The lining would also go, so you'd need a factory recraft somewhere down the line. Besides, I find that most leather soles last somewhat less than one pair of Clark's desert boot crepe soles. Nice shoes are just that.

Here's the catch: factory recrafting won't be possible if the shoes were resoled somewhere else. I assume his cobbler does half-sole for 65 and not full resole. For full resole you need the original last, at least that's what I'm told

Here's a pointer to the Frenchy and oneeightyseven throwdown.

You may want to use it to brush up on your chops.

Correlation between Quality and Price. Higher Price does not mean Higher Quality and vice versa. If it were directly related than it would be casual relationship.

+2, This was a good point that got buried in a onslaught of drivel. The difference between the SF users and the rest of the world is not just a willingness to spend money, but a willingness to spend time. OP, how do you feel about this?

What is "quality"?

Time is money. You're just sugarcoating it
