i sorta like the idea of putting my shoes through their paces, and then re-crafting them anew. rather than try to maintain some sort of delicateness
If you wear hard on the toes like some of us, this ain't about "delicateness", rather it's about not burning the toe out right through the welt long before the sole is ready to be replaced.
They keep the front of the sole nice and sharp too; no 'leather fraying' anymore.

To answer a few questions. It's not necessary to have the sole guards. With or without them the toe pieces will flush to the surface when finished. They are $35.00 per pair OTC. Add $15.00 S&H for mail in orders. Two reasons they are not loud. As mentioned they are flush mounted also since they are screwed on they are much tighter. Added, because of the way they are applied it's nearly imposible to kick them off.
silly question, but i assume you put these on when the sole is new and replace every time you re-sole, correct?

Is Nick's store (B Nelson) doing business as VIP Shoe Restorers? That what I see on google streetview (140 E55th). B Nelson brings up something on the west side that seems to have gone out of business.
