Mileage stated in my post.
Can't really comment on other makes of lining, I ordered a set of Bearmach shoes to put in stock for when these Mintex ones wear out, a fraction of the cost. Britpart ones showed up - thanks Paddocks... I inspected them and they seem ok so I kept them, cheap enough to be worth an experiment. Not heard anybody complain about Britpart shoes and I did ask. They are noticeably harder but much smoother finished than the Mintex ones.
I've been thinking about getting a set relined by a specialist that we used to use back in the day, they are still going strong forty years on! I used to have them reline motorcycle shoes for me. They are called : Bonding and Reline Services, Thurmaston near Leicester, they are on the web. Might be a good alternative to buying shoes off the shelf?
