These AE soles sufficient for resole-ing?

I wanted to bring these to a cobbler to have them resole a pair of my AEs, rather than using a no-name one — this way I know the quality will be good (might be cheaper too).

Is this all that's needed to resole a shoe or is there more?

1. Are these your size?

2. You're going to buy 12 pairs of soles for $99 and then pay for the cobbler's labor on top of that?

Yeah, seems like this would be overkill unless you actually had a dozen pairs of AE's that needed a resole. If you only need one pair resoled, just take it to a cobbler and have him do all the work.

I've found the AE soles to be none too good. My AE shoes soles seem to wear out pretty fast relative to other shoes I have (alden, C&J, etc).

I much prefer the pairs I got resoled with JR oak bark tanned soles. Although they are a bit expensive, I feel its worth it.
