Fellow Footbearing Forteans,
I've just lost the bottom of one of my walking boots, as in the entire thick rubber sole has come away from the leather upper. It looks like it was glued/stuck previously. Is it worth attempting to get them them repaired? I'll likely get new ones anyway but it seems a shame to throw up otherwise solid boots. Thee pair are about 10-11 years old but have maybe been worn 50-60 times.
Any ideas? Obviously I don't know how scrupulous any local cobblers might be and they might look fine but I might just be adding an extra cost to a new pair if the repair fails after a few walks.
