As you have Role Clubs it might be worth contacting Brian to see if he’ll sell you some Role Club soles & heels. Having said that I don’t think it’s that much of a premium to have Brian do the work. I used Hermes to send him my Lone Wolf’s and from memory that cost me about £20. Presumably it’s a similar number coming back.
Felix (and others) are very good but for me, unless I could find good Cats Paw units, I’d always be niggled that I had dr sole on my boots, especially in Role Club boots.
And if you’re ever in LA, be sure to go to Brian’s shop. That is an experience I will never forget and Brian is an extremely pleasant and humble gentlemen. I had the impression he was slightly overwhelmed thinking who’s this crazy British guy coming to my shop! And I was overwhelmed on a mini vintage pilgrimage! If a camera had filmed us it probably would have looked quite funny!

How do you folk find Cat's Paw soles wear?
We considered a range of Boots using them but the feedback we got was the wear quality is rather poor? Especially against, say Itshide Conmmando?
Look great though, of course

Very sadly I think they do wear quickly Ken. I’ve got high hopes that Brian’s role club version lasts better.
If the folk at American Biltrite could get their act together and reproduce the Cats Paw heel AND sole product out of hard wearing composites they’d be onto a winner no matter how niche.

The twin grip cats paws I've had wear through pretty quick but considering they can be over 50 tears old its not that surprising. There are reproduction Cats Paw out there. I've yet to discover who actually produces them, though I've got a good idea. I got close getting in touch with Viberg but they left me hanging with "you're on your own there".

Andy8181, if you can find out who makes, and how we get hold of some of the repro heel and sole units I’m definitely up for a box! I assume whoever makes them is where the Japanese boots makers get them from, although why they’re so difficult to source is beyond belief. You’d have thought that someone who makes something might actually want to sell them! It feels easier to source rocking horse poo than Cats Paw heels and soles!
