C&J and EG both indicate that they will not recraft your shoes if you'd had work done on them by another party. However they don't really specify what qualifies.
I think they won't recraft one that's been topy'd. Anyone know if they're OK with the nailed in rubber toe taps?
My 337 C&Js are showing significant wear, and from what I've heard you want to resole before you reach the welt (right?). If you don't for $220 I assume they'd repair the welt.

I tend to wear at rear corner of the heel and was getting ready to use those curved rubber taps but I am worried that they'll create a bump in my walk, like the feeling of having a big rock stuck in your tire.Originally Posted by idfnl
From researching the foot since I've had some problems on my heel, I've found that wearing down the posterior corner of the heel (as you claim above) in your shoe represents a "correct" wear pattern. People who wear down the center rear portion of their heel have an incorrect step that represents a problem in either the way they walk or the bone structure in their feet.

FYI, Nick V. at B. Nelson in NYC can do this now for $35. I think this may be a recent development, as I didn't see these available when I went in about six months ago to get a pair of shoes resoled. Below is an attached a pic of the Tramezza Nostros I just had done.

I am looking for a cobbler in the DC area who can do this. I showed the second picture at the following website and asked several shoe repair guys. They all said no.

Did you have to email them directly in order to inquire about this? I'm looking over their site and can't seem to find anything specifically related to toe taps.

Overpriced. They charge $50 plus shipping!!! B. Nelson is $35 plus shipping. B. Nelson has done 10 pairs of shoes for me (flush mounted toe taps) and I am quite happy with the results.

Sky Valet in DC did a good job. See the topy and sunken toe plate.
