This is the way we should all go as consumers. Buy quality and have repairs done when needed. It means less ends up in the landfills and it really stretches the use of all items. Bravo! Glad to see you again after what seems like a long while, Hugo. 😊

Crown Northhampton also resole their sneekers. They do not have the french flair, they are a bit more reserved being an english shoe but incredible quality shoes, and a lifetime sneeker.

@SvDu-bb7rh Ай бұрын

I’ve ordered sneakers there - they came with stains, stitching was done poorly and white lacta hevea soles are incredibly hard to clean. I wore them few times and they looked terrible. I wrote to their customer service after receiving shoes and said that it’s done badly with photos, but they offered a discount for next pair. ha-ha, no thanks.

Wonderful episode - as always! As Hugo might say… “bad for the wallet!” One suggestion if I may… for episodes like this with a lot of movement around the table, using lapel mics rather than standing would produce MUCH better and more even audio. Lots of booms, pops, table bangs, variation in volume as the pair move around… as a producer, I must say - lapels make things super simple 👍🏻 Bravo again 🎉
