Hobnails and heel irons

[kurt koniger]

Sounds like a musical lol I am looking for full sets ( to do a pair) of these to renovate my low boots. I've seen the nails , both original and reproduction, at various prices but not the heel irons. Maybe not looking hard enough?? Any ideas??

Not the nails to attach the heel irons but hobnails. I will have a look as I have found hobnails but not heel irons. Thanks

the link I gave you is heel irons just come with the nails as well

I e mailed Jan at Leder Arsenal, he does hobnails for 15 cents each and heel irons with filler for €14 each. One would guess that his stuff is pretty spot on, I know it's a bit pricey maybe with postage from Germany but, as George Micheal so elequently put it "if you're gonna do it, do it right" lol

Ive a pair of original heel irons around somewhere, if you want em i can send em ?

[kurt koniger]

Nice one ! What would you want for them? Are you going to be at Mapeldurham, or I'll pm my address. Thanks again

Sent PM, you can have the irons for nothing as i dont need em now,
just some stamps for postage.
