              I need to resole my Moc toes but want to put something on that will last longer than the standard sole.

              Any suggestions or examples

              i did a quick photoshop of some serra 1276's

              what you think?

                no  😃

                I find that a Vibram Morflex holds up better than a Christy, while having the same look and a lighter weight.

                A Ripple or Mini Ripple could be a option

                Ripple

                                  I've got a pair of Vibergs with Vibram ripple soles on, and I went through them pretty quickly. After about a year in rotation with a couple of other boots and shoes, I've worn the heels down completely, and some of the ripples in the toe are almost gone. I'll be replacing mine with a set of Dr. Sole #3060 cushioned soles when they arrive.

                                  Dr. Sole offers ripple soles, unfortunately they don't come up big enough to fit on my boots. There's a raw cord version on his Tumblr page that I like.

                                  Speaking of Red Wing repair, I've worn through the lining in the forefoot of my pair of Beckmans. Is there anyone who can fix these, or should I just chuck them?

                                    not sure if it could be fixed, by patching it with a glued in leather. Otherwise one would need to deconstruct the whole, what I guess, would cost a lot…

                                      Thanks @rocket.

                                      I reckoned that there wasn't much to be done to the Red Wings. They need a fair amount of repairwork, and a new sole. I'm not sure if I'll chuck them or see if anyone here wants to spend the money to rebuild them.

                                        A rebuild doesn't make much sense imo, from the cost side…

                                        when I was actual regular wearing RW, whenever the sole was down, I just went buying a new pair. The cost for a new sole job was usual more than a "smart bought" new pair...  😞

                                          mm..not sure if that's true,  over here ,in Holland , an original RedWing resole costs  about 80 euro.
                                          So  a resole would be a smart thing to consider.
