Resole Sidi Adventure boots

Post by AlanHolt »

My Sidi adventure boots need new soles, who do you use? GB Bike Leathers want £98 plus postage to resole them. They can't be done by a regular cobbler unfortunately, they need a large boot press to bond the sole to the upper.

Had mine done by them 18 months ago. Perfect job, just couldn’t fault, and I’m very picky. No one else would touch them, I tried all over. Bit steep, but they are good boots. If the uppers are good, why not? You get what you pay for. Cheers Nige.

I also have a pair of these and am curious as to how the Gore-Tex lining would be affected by resoling, assuming they are Gore-Tex ones of course.

A couple of years ago my MKI Sidi Adventure boots started leaking but Gore-Tex honoured their warranty and replaced them with the MKII version.

I have a friend who repairs walking boots and has done a few boots for us, the professional glues are very expensive and the soles cost £30+ so £100 doesn't seem far out of the way when you consider it's a couple of hours work. Alternatively sell them and put the money towards a new pair, I've seen worn out Sidi ADV boots sell for £70 on ebay.

I should have said in my post, the ones I had resoled, remained and still are waterproof.

Apparently, they have so much work, they can't do my boots until January.
