Hi everyone.
I am having my shoes resoled at Vertical World (owners of Rock Frog)
I am willing to collect your shoes and take a big batch to them in one go.
The prices are R325 for resole and R375 for resole+rerand per pare of shoes.
Tie your shoes together by the laces and place a piece of paper inside one of them with your name, contact number and what you want done to the shoe.
I also want upfront payment from you as the shoes will become my responsibility once the work is done and they expect payment.
Note: This is a open invite and you can bring everyone you knowIf you miss this date, don’t despair. You can go by yourself as this happens almost every Sunday. Hi everyone.

Fluid are selling some of their stock at less than half price. The boats normally go for R6500 to R7500 and now they are going to ONLY R2280.
I will make up an order list quickly so let me know what you want (size, color, model).
BUT you will need to pay them directly. I am expecting quite a few of you to be interested and unfortunately I am not going to put a order of this size through my accounts
