cross post from the care thread
Can anyone recommend me a decent cobbler in London? The Cat's Paw heel on my IH/Viberg service boot seems to be wearing obscenely quickly on the outside back portion, so I need to get it replaced with something a little more robust.
Any pointers/tips gratefully received.A bit more info given Mega's post above - ideally I'd just like the aforementioned outside back portion replaced, as there's loads of wear left in the rest of the heel (and the whole sole generally - they only arrived in Jan). Basically enough of a repair to stop the permanent part of the heel starting to wear too.

I have a friend who is a cobbler (based in Putney). If you send me some pics I can always have a word with him to see what he can do. He is excellent. Been a cobbler for forty years - restitched my churches recently. He's due to change my red wing chukkas to commando sole at some point. He might not be able to do anything as I know he's really ruddy busy but I'm happy to ask.

@Sugar:
Mijama - Two questions: What width are your Indy boots and what last are your Boondockers on? My Vibergs arrived today and width-wise the 2045 last compares well to the Trubalance in D width. Consensus seems to be that the 2030 last also corresponds with the same size in Trubalance D but we all have different feet.
sorry for the late reply. My boots are a D width, and my Boondockers are on the 110 – at least i think its a 110. Gotta see if i can dig up the box.

Did you get these?! I saw this and ordered a green pair of laces for my scout bisons. thanks!

And…... hello new boots, welcome to the family! These babies are just awesome.
After I ordered them, the guy who was packing them up noticed a slight scratch on the right boot upper outside quarter - so he eMailed me and offered to take $100 off! Viberg is all Aces in my book - the products and the service.
Now I need to find some green laces - they came with brown flat laces and leather.

Gorgeous buddy. Congrats. If you find a pair of flat waxed olive/army green laces in 40" length, please let me know. Its not an easy find.
