lymanWhat's the deal with shoe resoling?
my Redwing Irish Setters look rough, but are still water tight (bought in 1987) and warm, and on the 4th sole, and probably the last, since I rarely wear them anymore
I have pair of black 3/4 height boots, also redwings, that are one sole #2
rarely wear them either, since I no long am in the meat biz,
and the last resole was done 'off' as in there is a slight tilt to them on the sides, so it takes a few steps to get used to them
they are not as strong or lasting as the setters, usually the leather would rot on one side before the 2 sole was worn out
casual shoes, are disposible
