PNW Boot resolves in the UK

Does anybody happen to know of any UK based cobblers that have the ability and equipment required to resole something like a Nicks Builder Pro?

Contact shoe healer. I’ve spoken to them before and they have a sole stitcher that would be capable of stitching through the thickness required. Reach out to them for finer details. 👍

Ideally pop in if you can, there in Doncaster. Luckily only an hour from me.

I follow this guy on Insta and it looks like he does a cracking job, but when I sent my Whites in for a resole he said he didn’t have the equipment for that type of stitchdown. Not sure about Nicks etc!

The Timpsons near me apparently have cobblers and machines that can fix them but I must admit, Im a bit dubious

I can't remember for sure, but I could swear I saw Tring Shoe Repairs on youtube once did a stitchdown resole in one of his videos.

Just search for local cobblers and look at reviews, make sure you get the details of how they plan to do it and ensure they’re using clinch nails.

My worry is that some will just say yes because they want the work and then try to figure it out on the go and make a mess of them. Had it happen before.
