I don’t understand the hate for these? You don’t see them, they are on the bottom of your shoes that look not great after wear anyway. These serve a great purpose to protect and save you money.
Imagine a cobbler telling you not to use a product that will protect your sole and prevent wearing? Imagine that?!
I bet if his Grandfather was a cobbler he would've tried to save your shoes as long as he could as well as saving you a few bucks. Unlike these cobblers of today who don't have your best interest and are trying to have you wear out your shoes as fast as they can so they can make a few bucks off of you. This generation has turned into a throw away society and lost some morals along the way. Other than that he seems like a good cobbler. My advice is to look for an old time cobbler
Everything out of this guy's mouth is self-serving. I tried to go through his videos and find some redemption, but I just can't find anything. It's a shame
@@Chris-ke1om I had these installed on my Allen Edmond shoes and they're well worth it.
Lol
schoolchildren loved them,,,,clicking down the hallways...........run down the hallway and slide on our feet standing up..........the coolest of cool.........haha...........janitor hated them
I mainly use these on my wedge sole boots after about a week of wear. The slight bit of wear means that with them installed I don’t have an unnatural posture and it saves me from having a resole all the time with the fast wearing crepe.
What kind do you use?
Let's mention that you'll have less need for a shoe cobbler, that's important!
Good video and thanks for offering then as a personal option. I’ve used the rubber ones for over 50+ years on my work boots and dress shoes without major issues. They have saved me much money and have positively extended the life of my shoes and boots. Also i have not suffered any physical harm and have put each one on myself with adhesive and cobbler nails. If they get loose or are on verge of coming off, i simply reapply application procedure. I’ve used them on my Red Wings, Wolverine 1000 Mile, and on my imperial dress shoes. Thanks for the video!!!
I remember growing up there was a cobblers hut and we would take our shoes to be fixed and buy segs for my loafers
Wearing red wings in the city, I find the metal kleets protect from rapid wear. However, I do have to spend about $10 a month because the concrete rips through the metal very quickly. In fact, after a week they don't even make a sound. Keep in mind I walk an average of 6 miles a day sometimes 12. all in all the kleets do save my heels. I have never slipped with a thick vibram bottom.
Here they were ironically used on expensive pairs so they will last longer as money was a hard thing to obtain (back in the commie times in romania)
Germany used them too during WW2 as a form of making a loud click during marches
I'm from Transilvania. I used them then&there, and here&now (in Seattle, WA). Old habits die hard:)
I use to use the heel plates on my heels, I didn't think for the price it was worth it. The top lift will wear out, and I just get it replaced. I have used it for the toe part where I think it has saved a lot of wear.
These are causing pressure on the ball of my foot & arch pain. Correct about them changing your gait. I now have to have them removed.
I use to use them they last two weeks 2 months top
The nail hooked a cheep rug and destroyed it. MY boss got mad
They suck
Thank you so much for giving such fair opinion on metal chips as I was interested in placing but the facts what you have said is true.
So I agree with your opinion 😊. No metal .
I use them to replace the part of the heel that has already worn down. Not on top of an unworn heel. Soooo, no orthopedic problems here.
Shoes aren't made like they used to. The molded soles/mid-shoe on so many boots and shoes made today cannot simply be resoled.
Talked me out of using them when you said they will cause orthopedic problems.
My issue is that I already walk like that with my ankles in because I have flat feet so would they help if I put them kind of on the inner part I need something to save my shoes for a little longer at work
Is there a guide anywhere on how to walk better in order to minimise wear on the toes and heels? I think a lot of wear is down to sloppy walking and posture.
catwalkers have the best posture. I just catwalk everywhere.
Many, many years ago I used to have these. Very slippery to walk in. Now I don’t use them. I might consider having a toe plate on my leather soled shoes / boots, as that’s an area on my shoes that tens to wear out fast for me - probably because that’s the way I walk.
That’s common and would recommend French toe plates. They look nicer and hold up much better
@@CobblersPlus metal tapped edge of heel can be destructive if you step with it on anyone's foot, especially on bare toes under all your weight. Did you ever have any experience? Accidentally or intentionally?
Absolute hoopty about the horseshoes - you’ll only slide on them if they sole isn’t levelled out in the middle portion…. And the 🙄 at the mention of Kiwi…… so snobby
Great information, thank you for sharing! I found a vintage pair of loafers with heel and toe plates -- can they be removed without ruining the leather sole of the shoe?
Here in England we call them segs and wouldn’t wear loafers without segs..
i enjoyed the video as much as you enjoyed making it
If I put the metal Taps on my motorcycle shoes do you think I would slip or lose my balance when placing my foot down on the pavement?
If you plant your foot down flat on the ground you would be fine but if the bike is high and you have to use toes when stopped that might be somewhat of a problem
@@CobblersPlus thank you for your quick response
Vcleats to save heels... maybe
As a young boy I put cleats on my shoes. Loved the sound.
I just had to replace the top lifts on 2 pair of boots . Coat me $75 . I'm sick of it . I may try these but will try mess up my back ?
You told us what you don't recommend what do you recommend. I thought it was coming. I already knew everything you mentioned.
Now he's a healthcare professional? If they are bad for your alignment, then why are they OK for less expensive shoes?
In the UK the nickname for these is "Blinkys". Who knows why? The metal ones for those that like the sound of "Tapping" floors as in "Tap Dancing"? Strange unnecessary devices.
Actually in the UK they are called "Blakeys" not Blinkys.
@@christopley4208 One of the characters on the UK's Life on Mars called them blinkys so I thought that was a thing over there.
Blakey's we called them in BC. They were all the rage in the early 60's when I was in middle school. Everyone had them. Shoes were also really pointed so we had little round ones on the toes. The more noise we made the better. Funny what comes into style.
In @@exexpat11 2 year old comment but I'm currently rewatching it, and he definitely calls it a blakey in Life on Mars.
@@jackdavies1514 Ok. The accents might have thrown me plus even different areas in the UK might use different terms and definitions. Like that Gordie Accent around Teeside. Even those in the UK have a hard time understanding them. Low Scotland and North East Scotland... Just vowels with the occasional sharp consent.
Wouldn't they cause your feet to roll outward vice inward?
No because they sit on the outer edge not in the middle
@@CobblersPlus Right they're on the outer edge (off center). Thus the foot is no longer level; the outer edge of the foot is raised higher than the inner edge (outward).
Great information, excuse me. 🤮
Can you give me metal taps
I do know. If you hae steel shod shoes on a horse. Don't take that horse on pavement. The horse can slip fall and become lame.
I looked at this after Joe Biden had a slip up. It looked like he was wearing one of these. The President of the United States should have the best shoes and should not need this for his shoes and if it makes him slipperier.
Weak
