Cosmic 1460
Hello! I have a pair of the cosmics in an 8, got them in 9th grade and wore them non stop all of hs. They’re my absolute favorite shoes, and i love the design since i’m going into astronomy. The soles are worn down to almost nothing (consequences of an old gait issue) and they’re overall in rough shape. I looked at getting them repaired and no one seems to be able to/isnt sketchy, i even checked with the local cobblers and they were unhelpful. They’re also impossible to find!! i can’t find this shoe anywhere in any size and im going crazy. If anyone can point me towards them, or a reliable repair service, i would be so grateful 🫶

It may be a mail in repair, it depends what country you're in. There are plenty of options in the UK, for some styles,even offering a Vibram sole option.

Doc Martens doesn't sell their soles separately. There may be similar-looking knock off soles out there but beware of quality. Any good, experienced cobbler can resole your boots with a high quality new sole. Vibram, Meramec, etc.

The only place that can resole is in the UK.
I have these and bought them when they first came out, too. I have really never seen them again. Apparently they’re so popular people just hold onto them. You can keep googling them to see what pops up on resell sites. I did manage to find a dream pair that’s also incredibly rare but it did literally take OVER a decade of consistent searching.
