I get it. I see what they do, how they do it, weigh in the cost of supplies and hours of labor.I get that in some cases, you are getting a shoe rebuilt better than the way it left the factory.
I'm just not so sure that I would pay for that. Especially when I can very good shoes for less than the cost of a recraft.
I guess it's like the cost of restoring an old car. You can go into the tens of thousands of dollars between structural, mechanical, interior, exterior, etc. It's certainly a luxury experience. You must have disposable income. You simply can't argue that you can buy a new car for less than the cost of restoring an old car. Or can you?
None of my income is disposable.
Who knew that resoling a pair of shoes was a luxury item.
Maybe if I buy a few pairs of shoes now, keep them in the box, I'll come out ahead in 10 years when it cost $1,000 to resole shoes.
