Any one know of a place that can resole Hiking boots (Meindl) with vibram soles?
Thanks

I have brought mine to the man on Sea Road opposite iSupply. I forget his name now. He's deaf so it helps if you write down what you want on a little note for him.

You could try the place on Abbeygate Strret next to Corrib Travel.

Yes, Heffernan's. He resoled my boots with vibram.

I have also used these guys for a pair of scarpas

I'm not sure if they do Meindls. They would likely be much more expensive than James and take much longer. James Heffernan has been used by a few other local hillwalkers I know and he does vibram soles.

Used the cobbler in Mervue. He replaced the midsole also for 40 Euro all in.

if the soles are worn I would get a new pair. they can repair it, but will the boot be waterproof again?
