required: boot repairer (cobbler) Tasmania or beyond

[benoloughlin]

Hi everyone,
So...
The vibram sole from my zamberlan boots are falling apart. My boots are fine and lots of years left in them but the vibram soles needs replacing.
Can anyone recommend someone (preferably in Tasmania) who replaces vibram soles on hiking boots?
Thanks heaps!

Ben

You could try Anthony's shoe repair in Albury,

he has resoled my RMs and dress shoes and I suspect that resoling walking boots would not be beyond him.

?DIY - soles and appropriate contact adhesive and other shoe making supplies , amongst other stuff, from Leffler Leather in Kensington, Melbourne. Recently resoled (as in glued Topy over previous leather sole) some street shoes with Topy rubber for $4.00, plus tin of contact adhesive - usually $60-80 at shoe shop...

DiY may be the go (here too).

Mr Fixit (in D'port) sorted out a new sole for a mate's boots. Though it was many years ago (not sure of the current owner or capabilities), and I recall he mentioned it wasn't cheap. Those particular Zamberlans can be had for little over half the price we initially paid (if the $ are a major concern)

There's also a repairer in Ulverstone.

There's a bloke in Moonah
Here's a recent ABC story on him, sounds promising

Also, let us know how you go Ben, my Zamberlans need a new sole too.

Yes, I'd be interested to know if he can do Vibram resoling. I have a pair of Asolos with almost pristine leather and detaching soles.
