sole repair

Fixing worn footwear

Sole repair is the fixing or replacement of the bottom portion of footwear.

Cobblers perform sole repair when the walking surface wears through but the upper remains sound: The boots just need a sole repair, not replacement.

The work may involve resoling, patching holes, or reattaching separated soles.
