Not to nitpick, and I dont know those boots in particular, but the wildfire hiking boots owned by myself and friends have glued soles and local cobbler has resoled at least a couple pairs.
Your overall point, however, is important. I find reviews of outdoors gear (even professional reviews) especially tilted toward light-use buyers, which is frustrating.
- driverdan 6y agoThat's interesting. I didn't realize there were cobblers who resoled glued hiking boots. I guess it depends on the sole being available for purchase?
- FrojoS 6y agoIt’s a very common practice for climbing shoes, whether for mountaineering https://www.scarpa.com/mountaineering https://www.scarpa.com/mountaineering or rock climbing https://www.lasportiva.com/en/man/footwear/climbing https://www.lasportiva.com/en/man/footwear/climbing The former cost in the ball park of 200 USD to resole, the latter about 30 USD. Unfortunately, I don’t think sneakers, running or approach shoes can be resoled.
