Re: Help with straps oh shoes

[Guest guest]

Are you talking about shoes or Markel (both have a strap). Maybe

if you found a shoe repair shop or saddle shop they could install a stronger

piece of leather, or even sew in a nylon-strap instead?

Help with straps oh shoes

I seem to be going though shoes ever two months and it is all because

of the buckle strap it always to be riping if anyone has any ideas on

how to prevent this I would really like all the help I can get.

,

I'm not sure from your description if your strap is breaking or if

your buckle is coming off. I've heard of the strap breaking, but

never heard of issues with the buckle. Have you tried contacting

Markell Shoe Company directly? (assuming you have the Tarso shoes)

Jay Markell is very helpful- and likes feedback from parents to help

improve the product.

If it's a strap issue, perhaps applying saddlesoap would help keep

the strap flexible and keep it from snapping (I'm guessing- no

personal experience here)? Are you adjusting the holes that you use

as the leather stretches? Hopefully some other parents will have

input.....

Good luck-
