I got a pair of John Bull Combat boots that i have had for over five years now that I wear on the bike to uni and the soles have finally had it.

Anyone know of a good boot repair place that could replace the soles?? Auckland Region. Otherwise will just one for one them on base.

Try the guys on the top of Symmonds street. Begins with a G. They do all sorts of proprietary resoling, like goodyear, doc martins etc.

There is a shop on top of Symonds street just around the corner from kyber Pass. He does new soles on boots...... dont think it costs too much.

Another place is the guy at the back of New Lynn up a alley way near the railway lines. He aint on the ph but always there during the day time on week days.

I just wish I could get my boots re-soled... but alas I have small feet and all the new soles are for BIG feet. So I have to buy new ones every time I wear mine out... BUGGAR IT.

Let your fingers do the walking....


There are plenty of shops on the shore, including those that Frosty mentioned
