THE 4 UNMISTAKABLE SIGNS

1. NORMAL WEAR (GOOD TIME)

👉 The ideal time to intervene.

     

The rubber is starting to wear on the tip.
This is where you need to act: the repair is simple, quick, and the result is optimal.

---

2. ADVANCED WEAR

👉 You've already waited a bit too long.

.  

The sole is very worn, and precision decreases.
Resoling is still possible, but you shouldn't wait any longer.

---

3. HOLE IN THE SOLE

👉 This is urgent.

.  

Once the rubber is pierced, the repair becomes more substantial.
The cost increases and the lifespan decreases.

---

4. CRITICAL CASE (RAND / STRUCTURE)

👉 Risk zone.

  

When the structure is affected, repair becomes complex.
In some cases, it may be refused.

---

5. EXTREME CASE

👉 Too late.

 

Here, the shoe is severely damaged.
Resoling is sometimes impossible.
