Worth resoling?

[TimberHunter]

Zamberlan Lynx that are 6+ years old

Awesome boots that are my go to when I know I have a long day of hiking.

Tread is nearly flat. Are they worth resoling or is the leather too gone?

I don’t think anyone even re soles glue on soles.

You can call zamberlan to see if there is a resoler who has their soles—that would really be your only resole option for a boot like that with glued-on soles. Boots like that arent that much more $ than a resole in the first place, and few resolers want to carry all the sizes of soles to do this, so options are either extremely limited or dont exist.

Yeah I would only use a Zamberlan approved person to resole. If these aren’t expensive boots to you, I don’t want to know what are lol. These are about $450 new and $160 for a resole

I sent my Lowas back to Lowa for a resole. They did a great job. Cost about $150 and they had to send them to Germany (I shipped them to their facility here in the US and they sent them overseas).

Probably a wash vs replacing them but the leather was in great shape and they were comfortable so I figured I’d give it a try.

No idea if Zamberlan has a similar option.

Thats much more than I thought. It’s a lot of coin for what is (for most people) a disposable boot—glued sole, nubuck leather, etc. nothing wrong with that, its just not designed to last as long as other boot constructions, and its much less $ to produce. At that price Id agonize between a new pair of semi custom boots (at near $500, you’re into a new pair of limmers or similar), or a resole could make sense if they're going to also replace the tpu midsole, etc.
