The cork filler is given a little time to dry coffee break! The new sole is sanded as well, which will help it bond with the welt and the cork filler. The boot is then placed carefully onto the sole and an outline is traced on the new sole to prepare for trimming. The positioning is extremely important when your new sole has any kind of tread, which should line up perfectly with the balls of your feet. But that means there is less to work with when it comes time to shape and finish the heel.
Most cobblers, when doing a re-sole, prefer to stack a new heel from scratch. Two layers of leather per boot are measured, cut, and shaped, using the trimmer for the bigger cuts and the sander for shaping. If you have a higher heel, you might be looking at more layers. The pieces are then carefully glued together.
The fourth stage of the re-sole starts with more glue. The cork lining and welt are coated in a layer of adhesive. The bottom of the welt where that strong bond is so crucial gets a second layer. The upper is then laid carefully onto the sole and hammered down to make the seal tight—no nails, just hammering to really tighten up that connection between the welt and the sole.
The sole is then trimmed into rough shape. While Isac is at the trimmer, they also use the machine to flatten the welt against the sole. This is particularly important around the toe, where the boot wants to pull upwards.
The sole is then given a touch more shaping with the grinding and sanding belts. The ancient Rapid D machine has been looming in the corner of the shop this entire time. A quality re-sole makes use of the existing holes in the welt, so Isac marks these holes carefully, checking and double checking that the first few stitches are exactly where they should be before he really turns the machine loose.
Once both boots have been stitched, Isac hammers down the stitches, sinking the thread and closing the hole up a bit. Adhesive is added to the heel and its parts, then it is carefully placed on the sole. By: Robert Gomez. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 to replace the sole on your second boot.
