We are very hopeful to resole neutral shoes (e.g. moccasins, TC Pros, crack shoes) by the new year. Due to tariffs and backorders, we do not have the neutral lasts (molds) necessary to properly repair them. Putting the currents aggressive lasts we have in neutral shoes will warp the shape of the shoes and create
