The actual sole is sewn to the insole, by hand or a machine. Then you attach the final layer(s) to this construction, who builds up the basement.
So, if you do not have a cobbler on hand, who is familiar with this technique, he can remove the pegged layer, grounds down the pegs and helps himself out with a glue job.
Anecdote:
On one of my shoes, the pegs loosened a bit(after 12 years). They had a aftermarket rubber sole installed. I tested this version, but didn't like. So I was intended to wear the rubber down etc., etc..
In this case we had to decide, if i will do a full repair, what would have required, doing the pegs, twice on the damaged shoe. This is not cost effective and more of a cosmetic touch for the final result.
So, we decided on the interim solution. Doing the glue job now, and a full refurbish later.
Hope this helps.

Maftei told me that re-soling a holzgenagelt sole is much easier than a welted sole.Originally Posted by Sator
If, you know how to do it, it is.

That's a fairly English-looking last on those. Balint?Originally Posted by Concordia
Well, this might be the angle of the photography.
I haven't seen this particular pair personally, yet, but I've seen several pairs Balint made for him.
Their "aesthetics" is not english. It's not Austro-Hungarian either. You can call it A-H with a twist, if you like.
I'll ask him, at least, when I'll meet him on Monday and will get back to you.
