Thank you for the information. I was quoted around the £100 mark for a resole, by James Taylor & Son in London. Is Lobb worth the additional £100 or so for the resole? I suppose they use the original last? I'm aware that Lobb would not touch the shoes in the future if I were to get them resoled elsewhere.Originally Posted by Gininteacups
Well, for that price you get the full re-craft from JL. Quite a few of the better British shoemakers also have an official policy of not taking the shoes back for work if they have been worked on by someone other than themselves. If you can justify the extra cost, I'd go for it. They often work wonders on the shoes and will replace any part of the shoe that needs replacing for that price, for example the insole. They will cream and condition the uppers, too. Have a search for similar re-crafts by Edward Green.Originally Posted by Ich_Dien

Resoling doesn't need a last, as the upper & footbed are not touched.Originally Posted by alliswell
I think it's around £200, and you should expect to wait about 4-8 weeks or so.Originally Posted by Ich_Dien
My dad is getting a pair of his bespoke shoes recrafted by Lobb St. James Street and it is realy expensive compared to these prices, $950 to $1100, depending on exactly what work they do on them. I do not know if it is true or not, but am told that they put the shoes back on the original lasts and replace everything except the uppers, which are also hand finished, amking them, essentially, new shoes. He just sent them in and was told he would have them back before the end of September, which is a lot faster than getting a pair of bespoke shoes made by them. Has anyone here ever used that particular service and are the results nice because I know my dad is expecting a really nice result?Originally Posted by LatinStyleLover
