Default Resole Harley boots

I have a pair of the Harley Hustin boots and need to have them resoled. Anyone know if the original soles on these are available for purchase?



thanks.

I'd recommend Vibram soles/heels.

I would find it unlikely you could purchase OEM soles for your boots. Visit boot repair shops in your local area and they can advise you what alternatives you have in materials. As uklauren suggested, Vibram soles are an excellent choice.

I believe Wolverine (Harley Davidson) uses plastic welting. I don't think they can be re-soled. Find a sale and a new pair would likely be cheaper than a retread.

I have a pair also that I've had for several years.
They still look pretty good but the RH boot has a leak that I cannot find or repair.
I may have to break down and buy a new pair this riding season and I'd like to have a pair of the lace-up's with the zipper on the inside, with steel toes.

I've had good luck with Resole America. Of course there is not a cobbler near me.

I had my Hustins resoled localy with Vibram soles with a lowered heel. These CAN be resoled. Maybe you can find a local cobler???

These boots look to me like they can be resoled. You might have trouble finding the same sole.
Take the boots to a shoe/boot repair shop and ask what they can do for you. Looks like you can get these boots new online for as low as about $150, so keep that in mind vs the cost of a re-sole. If you insist on the HD branded sole, you might have to buy a new pair of boots.

Yes Wolverine makes the Harley branded boots.
