I've removed the foooked soles from the below ready to send but still haven't made the call as to if the best part of £100 is worth it, hence my reference to Meindl stepping up:

- Thread starter VSS
- Start date
I wish I knew about this in the past Tim! I will be in touch with them when my boots sole gives up! Will be interesting to see how long the new sole lasts
Here's an alternative repairer but doubt they are cheaper than VSS's suggestion:

About the same on price as far as I can see.
Can we ask how much the repair was also the make of the boot pleaseA few weeks ago I posted a link to this company, but was unable to give any feedback other than to say they appeared to have a good reputation.
I can now add that the good reputation is justified.

Expensive? Yes, fairly. I could probably have bought another mid-range pair of boots for what this cost, but these fit me well, are comfy, and the leather is all in good condition. So on balance, I reckoned that resoling the pair was the better option.

Haix Cold / Wet Weather milsurps.
Cost was detailed a few posts back.
i have 2 x pair of haix cold weather boots .... 2nd pair starting to seep slightly at the heel but i bought a pir of sealskinz socks ..... i might just send them off do same worth a punt as i notice ...if you can even find them in stock new is same price circa £120 ....i bought mine for £59 from milsurp sites... had 3x seasons beating out of em and comfy as you say
also piece of mind after hearing all the Meindel connoisseurs crying about the quality dropping right off the last couple of years!!! and i cant justify £400 plus for crispis !!
folk must be having same idea as you go on any of the milsurp sites and every lot of boots bar womans / sizes is out of stock

Hi
I have used both LSR and Altberg for boot repairs, and both experiences (sure mine) were very good.
LSR were for a sole that had 'delaminated'? (they were 30yrs old Timberland and only used occassionally), and Altberg for one of their own made to measure boots, again lightly used (hiking) and again sole separating.

The Boot Repair Co quote a 4-6 week turnaround, but I had my boots back in just under a fortnight.

I think that’s worth doing on meindl’s just to get it rebranded and soled!
