Have a pair of brown suede AE Sea Islands and the heel stack is kinda crappy. It is a particle board, pretty hard, and kinda noisy on some surfaces. The soles also seemed to wear faster that I expected. I just looked and they are a "performance butyl sole". With that said, i love the shoes. They are a great looking casual penny.

I am debating whether to resole them (blake stiched so have to use independant cobbler) or replace them with something else. Kirby Allison resole will do full JR soles and heel block for 225 but that is about what i paid for them - maybe more. Potter and Sons is about 170 or so if i replace the heel blocks and full JR soles.
What would you do? Would you replace the pair of shoes, or spend the money to replace the soles / upgrade the heel blocks?
