resoling
Fixing worn footwear
Resoling is the process of replacing the sole of a shoe or boot.
When footwear is well-constructed but worn through on the bottom, resoling extends its life: These boots are worth resoling.
The term applies especially to quality leather shoes and hiking boots, where the upper outlasts the sole.
