Chic--Glad they worked out. Looks good! Now if I decide I want to get mine done, I know where to go.
WOW
Those look amazing!!!!
Im sooo sending mine there!
I was stupid and sent mine to get done with those ugly thick ones from ebay & now there is a half inch of red you can see from the sides!
I made the same mistake, you live and you learn.
For the lady from the UK, Arty told me that he cuts the rubber himself. He buys it from a rubber wholesaler and then custom fits each shoe. I'm sure you could find the same rubber in the UK.
I know it's an obvious assumption to make, so your forgiven , but last time I looked I was still a fella. I came on the forum because I was buying my wife, Karen, some CLs and needed information on sizing.
I have told myself I must stop now as, so far, I have bought her new Cravtouzas, new Drapanovas, lightly used Palace Zeppas (ex. Louboutin Press Office) and used Marcoil Sanpla Sugheros.
I'm so sorry! I had no idea! Well sir, you must be a fantastic husband to come on here to find out more about Louboutins! She will be absolutely floored when you give them to her.
Well, I just looked at the bottoms of my shoes again and the rubber says "Vibram" on it, apparently Vibram must make red rubber! So you must be able to get them somewhere in Europe since that company is European.

Well, I am getting somewhere at last. I have found a distributor, here in the UK, who can supply 1/2 soles, IN RED, with a thickness of 1.8mm. The material looks identical to the soles of your shoes that Arty repaired.
They can do 1.0mm thick but they sent me a sample of the 1.8mm, in Black, and that looks fine. I think the 1.0mm thick would not be very long lasting.
My only problem now is that they do have a minimum order quantity and the lead time is upto 6 weeks.
In the near future I may be in a position to supply these soles to members, here in the UK, that are looking to have red sole replacements. I could send them to members in the USA but I am not sure if the shipping cost would make it a viable proposition for you.
As soon as I have these soles I will send photos of 'before' and 'after' on the Palace Zeppas and the Marcoil Sanpla Sugheros.
