In Reply to: Questions about repairing /re-soling Alden's Shoes... posted by India Jones on April 04, 2001 at 05:57:02:
: Now that we are all friends (I hope), has anyone had good results after re-heeling and re-soling their Aldens without using the original materials? The reason why I ask is that I live overseas and do not know of any cobbler shops that repair Aldens specifically. I have called the company directly and its going to cost a fortune in shipping just to send a pair of heels and soles over. Can a cobbler shop cut a rubber heel to match the "foot balance" shape on the originals? If anyone has any experience to share I would highly appreciate it.
: Any good shoe repair shop can re-heel and re-sole your Alden's. I've been wearing my current pair for eleven years and can't count the times they have been "refreshed". Regards, Dr.Brody
