Goodyear re-sole question.

[Webbo]

I have a beautiful pair of Langdale boots from Herring (made by Cheaney) with a dainite sole which after about 3 years are hurting the underside of my feet after a short while of walking. The wear indentations from the shape of my feet on the insole are now quite pronounced and are in some areas poking up into my feet. My question is would a re-sole solve this? Would replacing the cork flatten out the insole and make them more comfortable? They fit like a glove so I dont want to put a padded insole in. Perhaps another sole type (Ridgeway or leather) would help? Thanks.

Strange, there shouldn’t really be bits poking into your feet. I would consider speaking to Cheaney about this as it could be a construction flaw.

replacing the cork or even the footbed May resolve this. I don’t think a change of sole type would make much difference.

The indentation of your foot shape should make them more comfortable so I can’t see it being this. This can be a problem with well worn preowned shoes that have conformed to a previous owners different foot shape.

Its more at the edges of the footbed (the below the outside of the ball of the foot), feeling like there are nails sticking up although I realize this is not possible.

Could be a funky stitch under there that you're just now wearing down to...

Nails are frequently used in shoe construction, so it could well be a nail causing this problem.

I've had a similar issue with a pair of Red Wings, they were comfortable to begin with but then after a few months of wear I had a rather rough spot poking into one of my toes. Haven't worn them in nearly 3 years or so now.

I thought it might have been potentially caused by not using shoe trees and the boot changing shape so that my toe was sitting at the very edge of the boot where the welt join is.
