It depends how cheap you can get your shoes for dalai. If you're paying retail prices and the shoes are still tight on your foot, sure, get resoles I guess. But with resoles costing somewhere around $60 and given the fact I was always able to fenangle some kind of dodgy discount deal and get shoes for under $150 new, I'd buy new in preference. The main deciding factor was that (unlike you) my shoes had stretched out of my ideal fit range.
Nobody sizes their shoes ridiculously tight anymore man, you're showing your 80's upbringing ;) |
