Can’t remember his name and I’m away on holiday, but Joel will tell you.

I believe the Gentlemans name most likely will be Alan Perrit and he is very good

Yep Bennetts Christchurch Branch had good service from them on a pair of Sportivas and all done by courier as I couldn't get into town at that time.

Honestly i wont worry just buy some new ones,

Ive tried a few brands and only boots that held up and walked the soles off have been chrispy, has asolos and lowa do the same as above

There is a guy at the Lillybrook shops in Rangiora who repairs shoes, cuts keys ect but he was a boot maker in a previous life. Had a pair of meindl done and did a really good job.

Shoe Goo - amazing stuff - should help get a bit more out of them
Boot shops - Bunnings etc

I tried to use him but he was never open whenever I made it to Goon, that's when I ended up using Bennetts in Chch.

Wore Meindels for 10 years in the Army. (1998 onwards) They must have begun using inferior products, as those boots didn't have any of those sole issues that I can recall.

Get a pair of new soles from Staeger and send the lot to Perrett Shoe Repair in Ashburton (027 437 5840). Cost was circa $200 when I did it last.

Yet another premature mid sole failure. This time my wifes Scarpas.

Rest of the boot is in great condition.
