Hey! I actually had Peaches Pro Repair do it...had him working on my gloves so sent the skates out as well. I think you should be able to take your skates to any shoe repair shop and ask them to layr a piece of leathr over the edge to "cap" the seam. In fact, I know you can...had a local guy sew my tongues in and he mentioned he could have done the "cap" as well. I can tell a diffeence with them when I work my edges...my ankles kinda slide along when before I could feel them dig in. Peaches only charged me $10.
