換底前的模樣 Picture from http://www.acontinuouslean.com |
看到有人分享他為心愛的Red Wing Shoes換底的心得分享
(聯結有固特異沿條製法的換底過程非常值得一看!),
實在是很想和大家分享。
裡頭說到:
"A great part of buying a Goodtear-welted boot was the fact that I could have them re-soled, and even have it doe multiple times."
(譯文:買固特異沿條製法的靴子的好處是我可以換底,而且我還可以換很多次。)
他也提到:
"The truly amazing thing is, the boots come back literally better than new. They fit you perfect and are as comfortable as ever - but have an entirely new outsole. It's a wonderful thing.......To me it is like getting a brand new pair of the most comfortable boots. I've had boots go through this process five, six, seven times and they only get better with age."
(譯文:讓人驚訝的是,鞋子換底後基本上比一雙新鞋還要好。它穿起來非常舒適,因為這靴子已經合你的腳了,但是它卻有著全新的大底,多麼棒的一件事啊! 對我而言這就像是買了一雙最舒服的新鞋。我的靴子已經換了五、六、七次底了,而靴子也是越穿越正點。)
換底後就變成一雙最好穿的新鞋啦! Picture from http://www.acontinuouslean.com |
鞋子壞了再買新鞋是很正常不過的事。
我們也認為這樣做並沒有什麼不對,
因為現在市面上可以買到的鞋子實在太容易壞了。
不然就是穿很久壞了卻無法修理。
這樣的情況下消費者當然也只能不停重覆買鞋丟鞋買鞋丟鞋....這樣的一個循環
(這是大部分商人所樂見的)。
另外還有一種情況,
消費者花了大把銀子買了限量鞋款,
但卻捨不得拿來穿。
過了好一陣子熱頭過了想拿來穿時,
鞋子卻早已因氧化、水解等因素不能穿了
(問問身邊有玩球鞋的男性朋友,應該都有過這樣的切身之痛)。
Simple Sample Shoes鼓勵買鞋,
但更要穿鞋。
穿壞了之後再修鞋,
修了之後再繼續穿。
就如同我們之前所分享的一張圖片:
Buy good things, and own them a long time.
現在我們又要再加一句話:
Buy good things, and own them a long time
because they are better than new.
Cheers!!!
