>they recommend vibram, show me soles similar to what they said they'll use
>alright, whatever just please fix it.
>charge me 120 for it
>pay and get my ticket
Fast forward to end of week
>pick up boots while rushing to work
>"do you wanna try them on or look them over before you take them?"
Wut? Why would I need to? I'm in a rush, I trust you did a good job.
>gives me a bag to toss them into
>after work take them out and look
>whatthefuckisthat.jpg
>there's some weird shit on the suede plus the soles are ugly as sin
>bring to a different cobbler over weekend
>diff. Cobbler says that was stained from glue they used. He points out other area they tried to remove it and damaged boot. Says the sole is hard as Fuck and shouldn't ever be used with soft leather like this. Says the crepe sole still on there could have been ground down to make the sole flush with the under sole. Overall shit job
>the glue stain is removable but with a thinner that will change the colour of the boot and you'll need to apply it to the whole boot for both to keep colour consistent
>diff cobbler says suede is a pain in the dick to work with because it can be easily stained and scratched and is obvious when it is.
>tfw I paid 120 dollars to have a guy damage, and fuck up, my boots and there is a good to fair chance I can't get my money back because he obviously doesn't keep receipts and only does cash.
To boot, he kept my shoe trees.
Do I start the conversation with
>I want you to pay for a new pair of boots
And then "settle" with a full refund plus some thing extra? Pic related.
