Sunken Metal Toe Plates?

[PhiloVance]

Is there a place in NYC to have these put on?

Just about any shoe repair. What hood are you in?

http://www.bnelsonshoes.com/ is where I have sent close to 20 pairs of shoes to have flush mounted toe plates. $35 installed. They do a great job. Had Lobb in NYC add toe taps and whoever they use screwed up the shoes and now I am waiting for a replacement. Don't skimp...use the best.

I also recommend B. Nelson's. They do a great job and price is very reasonable.

Their is the nickle half-moon type plates.

I have yet to find a place that does the brass/copper trapezoidal ones.

I only have 1 pair of shoes done by Lobb in NY. It came out about the same. So can't really say which is better, IIRC Lobb only charged $30 as oppose to Nelson's $35.

WTF kind of advice is that. He isn't asking about the same pair of Kenneth Cole shoes that you wear. I'm sure the OP is referring to a pair of Goodyear welted shoes. Maybe they are some Lobb's that cost $1500 and he wants to take proper care of them in order to prolong the $300 resoling fee from Lobb.

AFAIK there's two - B. Nelson and Olympic Shoe Repair. Anyone else will tell you that they'll do it if you bring the plates.

So the quotes in your handle are the ironic kind, eh?

bnelson is awesome, I send my shoes from MD to him as needed.

SG I think the sunken metal plate in your head is due for replacement...

Does anyone have a couple pics of Nelson's work? I'm in PA and would love to send several pairs his way. I couldn't find any descriptive pics on the website linked about. Thanks.

Do metal toe plates scratch up hardwood floors?

You should expect them to.
