White's Boots
-
Quoted me £80 to swap the sole to a new Vibram Moreflex…. Seems a bit steep.
-
I know the Moreflex is generally a bit more expensive/ lower quantities available (according to Whites) but it does seem a bit steep. I had my Trickers resoled with a stitched Dainite and it cost £60 a year or so ago, return shipping included.
Maybe get the sole online and take it to a cobbler? Could get you a set from White's (sure Kyle would also sort you out) but might be a short wait until they woul get sent with a ready order.
Happy shopping.

Time for a resole and refurb back at Spokane?
changing the soles just for a new look mate?…they look like they have still a f_cking lot of life left, don´t you think!?
-
I wear the outside of the sole first, which makes the shoe less comfortable over a period of time, although I think I am going to change the look with a black Vib 2021 sole rather than a cristy or cream 2021.
Ed, because I'm a traditionalist
Although as it turns out I will be getting them done by the Shoehealer. -
Jestre, those are some beautiful boots! I was really hesitant to do the rough out look, but in retrospect maybe I should have.
-
Here are a few cool roughout builds on ultrasound:

i would have thought that was a swing last by looking at it.

Bounty Hunters are not available in a swing last so far as I know. Looks like a regular SD last to me.
