LOWA Patrol Boot Resole - worth it?

[HarryG]

Hi - I have a pair of LOWA patrol boots, non-gortex. The soles are starting to come away from the leather and are perishing a bit. They are my only boots and I probably stalk in them once a week on average. I’ve looked after the leather with cream etc. and there are no real issues with the uppers at all. They also fit me really well. I’ve always liked LOWA.

I’m tempted to resole. Has anyone done this and is it worth it? Thanks, Harry.

I've used the boot repair co. For mine in the past. The work is great and the cost fair but it's not really worth it unless the boots are sentimental

I have used them too.
Good service, quality workmanship, but comes at a price.

Don’t use Timpsons. They used a sole without a heel block and ruined a pair of my lowas.

I had a pair of danners resoled with vibram soles by a local cobbler, it only cost £30 so it was certainly worth it in this case

How much will a replacement pair cost (don't rule out 2nd hand) compared to the resole cost?

Did you mean 2nd foot, Greenmist ?

Thank you everyone for your replies. I’ve been looking and these lowas are now discontinued so no new available nor can I see a secondhand in my size. I’m going to try the boot repair company.

My stalking neighbour in Germany had his boots resoled by the original factory, a service they do offer they were over 20 years old. Cost him 100 Euros per pair (DE) / Prices for other countries on request. Came back like new.

If you look on the Lowa website they actually say send them here to be resoled.
