Got my dyer mocs repaired

<< < (2/3) > >>

chamookman:
Have a Pair just like Yours Ed for at least 25 years. Can't wear 'Em out, used to bout live in them. Still wear them once in a while. Have a Pair of Poppin's Pucker Toes now, got them around 5 years ago - most confortable I've ever had! Bob

BowEd:
Yes I've got Poppins' brochure too.They look like some nice ones' too only cheaper priced.

Pappy:
Nice save ED, did you repair them or have them done, Tom from Poppins comes to the Classic and I have a couple of pairs of them[high top and low cut] I wear the quite often but in the hills and hollows with leaves they are pretty slick so have to be careful when out for a hike, wished their was a way to fix that  ??? because they are really comfortable to wear.

Pat B:
Pappy, you could probably glue a thin piece of crepe rubber to the bottoms to add more traction.  When I was making sandles we started making them with crepe bottoms because the leather bottoms were so slick when they got wet. Totally different construction types for sandles with leather and crepe soles.

BowEd:
I've seen a pair or two of the Poppins' mocs.Nice mocs.Still not as heavy duty as the dyers though.
It's reflected in their pricing too.
With the Dyers there's a breaking in period wearing them.Best to walk through a creek with them on.Then wear them dry.
The occasional slickness I've had with them has'nt bothered me much.
I had them sew it up.Looking at it I probably could have done it myself too.
