WE RESOLE DR. MARTENS BOOTS

Dr. Martens boots are known for their distinctive appearance, comfortable fit and recognizable soles. When those soles wear out, the leather uppers may still have years of useful life. Resoling allows you to keep the boots you already enjoy wearing.

At High Street Shoe Repair, we remove the worn sole material, prepare the bottom of the boot and rebuild it with a suitable replacement outsole. We offer several Vibram and Goodyear options, from lightweight cushioned soles to heavier-duty lug patterns.

Our cobbler, George, has decades of experience repairing footwear. We have rebuilt thousands of shoes and boots, including Dr. Martens.

The replacement sole is not identical to the original Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, but it can provide a comfortable, durable alternative with a tread pattern suited to your needs.

DR. MARTENS RESOLE: $95.00 PER PAIR

DR. MARTENS RED RESOLE: $105.00 PER PAIR

Additional repairs, including stitching, patching, zipper work or other restoration, may be quoted separately.

Dr. Martens Boots Before Resole

These Dr. Martens arrived with badly worn original soles, while the leather uppers still had useful life remaining. Broken-in boots with sound uppers are often excellent candidates for resoling.

MORE SOLE OPTIONS FOR YOUR DR. MARTENS

Not every Dr. Martens boot needs the same replacement sole. Some customers prefer lightweight cushioning, others want deeper tread for outdoor use, and some want a cleaner, dressier appearance.

We offer several Vibram and Goodyear sole options. The most suitable choice depends on your boot's construction, how you wear it and the appearance you prefer.

DR. MARTENS RESOLING FAQs

Can Dr. Martens boots be resoled?

Yes. Many Dr. Martens boots can be rebuilt with replacement outsoles. Repairability depends on the construction of the boot and the condition of the uppers and sole attachment area.

Will the replacement soles look and feel like the originals?

Our replacement soles are not identical to the original Dr. Martens air-cushioned soles. We offer several materials, tread patterns and profiles to suit different preferences for cushioning, grip and appearance.

Can I choose a different tread or a red sole?

Yes. We offer a selection of Vibram and Goodyear soles, including red soles when available. The appropriate choice depends on the boot and its intended use.

Can I mail my Dr. Martens for repair?

No. Our Dr. Martens repair and resoling service is available locally only. Please bring your boots to our Salem, Oregon shop. We cannot offer this service through the mail.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

“Just a reliable cobbler. He seems like he's been in the business forever. He's good at what he does, delivers on time, and prices are fair. I've had dozens of boots resoled over the years, and I know quality work when I see it. As long as he's in business I won't go anywhere else.”

— Jason L.

“This was my first experience with a shoe/boot repair shop. I took my 8-year-old boots in to have the Vibram outsole replaced. He did an absolutely top-notch job. My boots were also reconditioned. Fast turnaround. Very affordable. I will be taking my other boots there also. Highly recommend.”

— Phil O.
