Hello. There is a post on Wilderness Trapping and I have a similar question but will post here for the masses. I have a pair of Meidel hunting boots that are 12 years old. Last spring the soles fell off ( just about the same time). Does anyone have a mail-in (or Kansas City area) cobbler they have had luck with? If it wasn't for no traction I would leave them as is. I turkey hunted in them a few times and they are like a nice padded set of moccasins. Thank you for your time.

You may want to check with the Meidel company and see if they would do it...if they are still around.

Just did a Google and it looks like the Meindl company is still alive and well. www.meindlusa.com

There are certain types of soles that can be replaced and ones that can't. I had a pair of meindl's before that could not be resoled. Good boots, but like yours the sole finally came off. I believe if the rubber on the sole comes up on the sides and toe of the boot, the boots can't be resoled. Sort of like the danner pronghorns. Boots like the danner grouse boot types can be resoled. There is a term for it but I can't recall.

I believe that term is “molded sole”. Could be wrong. I do know that you’re looking for a flat surfaced sole in which the boot leather is stitched onto.

Maybe order Vibram soles online and glue them on?
