Then they'll think, I didn't know they made fake 1/2 cents. I know I would.
they look dope but i would be like "this dude got the fake 1/2s"

Personally, I could give a rat's $#% what people may say. Bottom line is I know the work I put into them and I think they look a hellofalot better nowthat I've done the switch. That's all that matters to me. I just wanted to share my experience trying to make this happen since I know I'm notthe only one out there that would've preferred an icey sole compared to the smokey one that came with the finished product.
Haters will always hate so let them. I'm happy with the results and, that's all that matters in the end.
Peace

I took the shoes to a reputable shoe repair place and I had them professionally cement the soles back to the shoes. I found that ShoeGoo was too thick anddifficult to apply a thin enough coat without spilling over. It only cost me $20 but well worth it to have peace of mind. They cleaned/sanded down the excessglue from the midsoles and used a professional adhesive.
I just dropped off the Silvers so I'll be picking them up on Wednesday! PICTURES TO COME!!!!
