A Resole Or Rebuild Is Still Cheaper Than Buying New Boots With that said, the virtue of a resole or a rebuild - which goes further by totally rebuilding the footbed and possibly the upper - is that you will often spend a lot less than you would buying a whole new pair of boots.

Available with or without a heel. Unlike other racing boot suppliers, who require you to buy a new pair when your soles wear out, this boot can be resoled, as well as every boot we offer at Bates.

A resoled boot will have lots more life and it will ensure you are safe in the hills and mountains. It might sound obvious but a resoled boot will give a lot more traction than a worn boot and this will help to keep you upright on rough and slippery terrain.

PRO TIP ? Perhaps the easiest way to understand if your work boots can be resoled is by looking to see if the upper is stitched to the lower. If it is, pretty good chance it is able to be resoled (yes, there are exceptions). If your upper is glued to the lower, you likely will not be able to resole it.

Shoes that use a cup sole typically can't be resoled. The rubber cup outsole is permanently bonded to the leather uppers using cement, and removing it usually destroys the leather, making replacement impossible.

Not all Bates boots are produced in the USA. According to Bates brand, their footwear is made in a variety of countries, including the USA, the Dominican Republic, and China.

Use short, quick strokes with a stiff bristle brush to remove excess dirt from boots. If heavily soiled, wash with mild soap and air dry. If stain has been caused by oil apply cornstarch on the stain and let sit overnight. Remove cornstarch with a stiff brush after.

The cost of resoling your boots can range anywhere between (approximatelY0 $80 to $150 depending on the boot and the extent of labor that is required.
