What owners most often point to

Vibram replacement resole soles

The resole sole itself. The compound cobblers use to keep a good boot running.

What owners say

  • Owners add Vibram soles to worn boots to get many more years of wear.
  • The lug soles are praised as extremely hard-wearing, and one owner with a thick resole pair doubts they will wear out in his lifetime.
  • Even glued boots that are hard to resole, like Blundstones, can take a Vibram sole via a cobbler.
