Resoling my Grensons

[HalfCanvas]

I need to resole a pair of Grenson masterpiece. I'd like them re-welted (not glued) obviously, with a double sole (or, even better, something like the Edward Green HAF sole) and combination heel. I have no place in my city that can do anything other than glue. Does anyone have any advice on where to send these? I'd like to keep the cost in the $100 range if possible, so sending back to England is not an option.

Thanks in advance.

I actually came across B.Nelson in a google search. You've used them, I assume?

I've used B.Nelson but I would say bite the bullet & send them back to England. They should come back like a new pair.

Ideally, return them to the factory. However, you seem to be stuck out in the wilds. Do you have Timpson's out there? Thinking about it - don't do it! My Grensons were ruined by them - big cut mark down the side. A good cobbler: - these guys know more about the options than I do.

Sorry about such a late response. Yes, I've used them before with great results. They did a great job on a repair itself, and the turnaround time was about a week.
