Handed my ebay grensons in with the local cobbler along with some other stuff like worn through leather bag etc. The mnemonically gifted forum member may remember that they had iron heel bits which I didn't get on with. Cobbler was genuinely upset about the poor job someone had done fitting rubber heel/sole to them, apparently cheapest possible brand and shoddy workmanship "and on a pair of £400 shoes! What an idiot!" etc. The plastic heel + quarter iron was fitted on top of another heel piece which perhaps explains why they felt a bit funny to walk in. We agreed he'd better remove everything and start over. Feels good.
