I am looking to buy a pair of saddle shoes, but I have a question perhaps you ladies can help me with.
I am very hard on my shoes, particularly the heels. I wear them down very quickly. I have decided to only invest in shoes that are repairable by a cobbler, so I can buy better quality shoes and keep them going. I have access to a cobbler who does good work very inexpensively. I have a lot of foot problems, and am trying to avoid surgery so I am buying good quality shoes and keeping them going.
Most of the saddle shoes I have seen have a solid rubber sole/heel.
Can a cobbler replace such a sole/heel? Can they somehow just cut off the heel and replace that? Should I take them to the cobbler first thing to have a better heel put on them?
