I’ve gone cheap for invisible mending and the results were garbage. Quality first, no matter the price.

Does anyone know of a quality, good value cobbler who can re sole a pair of RM Williams boots for me, either in Melbourne conservative business dress or Melbourne South East suburbs?

Consensus here seems to be Rekakis in the Melbourne conservative business dress area. Would RMW do it?

RMW will do resole afaik, though I'm a bit skeptical about the quality. The boots I have are an older pair, which are better quality than current ones.

I had a pair of RMW boots that were fifteen years old that RMW replaced the elastic sides in ten years ago and the are still going strong. So I would imagne their work to resole a pair of boots would be first rate.

They also have outlets in the conservative business dress and in Chadstone, which might be easier for @Topher22 to get to than Rekaris.

RMW have a list of approved refurbishers. One of my sisters wear RMs nonstop till they crack, have holes in soles and 'lastic is stretched like a millennium's KPI Goal. A complete refurbish is a thing of wonder and cheap at half the price.

H & M, Muji, Uniqlo, Cotton On often have them cheap and OK but none with proper Boat Necks. For that you have to go to O/S sites in UK or France.

Isn't that a proper boatneck?
