    I want your sole.

    The sole on my Gaerne boots is wearing away, but my boots are generally still in a good condition.

    Can motorcycle boots be re-soled? My local shoe repair man thinks not, but I thought I'd check before I rush out and buy new boots.

    I hope so, my Sidi enduros are getting pretty slick.

    Gemmells in Auckland do motocross boots so i presume they will do Road as well, although i am not sure if it will effect the water proofing

    I think alot depends on the boot too.
    I know, for instance, that some tramping boots can be resoled and some can't. I would imagine it would be the same with motorcycle boots.

    I had a pair years ago that I had resoled about 3 times. Can't remember the brand though. Wasn't flash however.

    As has been said... its possible, depending on factors.

    I had a pair of Daytona goretex boots resoled.
    On return they felt tight, I assume they went back to original size rather than what I'd stretched 'em out to. All good now.
    Had to give then to a Daytona dealer, so I'd advise finding your local Gaerne man and talk to him. Don't bother with the shoe man.
