So I bought a pair of suede boots (not a big brand, I can't remember what they are right now) and they have super thin cheap rubber soles. I paid about $40 for the boots, but they were on sale from around $100. I've only worn them a few times but I can already see some wear on the suede by the sole where I assume it comes in contact with the pavement when the ground is uneven/ I take a bad step etc. I would like to get new, thicker grippy soles put on to elevate me a bit above the winter muck and help protect the suede.
Is it possible to get any shoes resoled, or only the higher end leather soled/sewn on sole types? I can't tell how the sole is attached but I can't see stitching on the outside of the boot.
I can take them to a cobbler and ask but I thought it would be nice to get some background first. I would like them to last as long as possible since I don't like to waste anything, especially leather.
TIA!
