afaik they're a storm welt so can be resoled.
Ok, cheers for reply. How do I know if storm welt? Mine are from a few years back now, it's the foam sole version
This is a good summary https://www.heddels.com/2014/04/know-welts-common-boot-welts/ but let's be real take 'em to a cobbler bro
Cheers for the link man, Yea will definitely take to the cobbler. Just need to get an idea of what kinda sole to replace it with I guess, coz it's a pretty slim boot so nothing too chunky but still needs to be military style just with proper grips.
Will have a look around and see

Update- took em to a local cobbler and Timpsons, both said no to a re-sole. Anyone know any shoe repair online places worth a look?

Daft question but do you untie your laces each time you take the shoe off?
I had a pair that done this at the heel but it was because I never untied the lace I just thew my foot in there and eventually it all ripped.
I've bought other pairs since and its never happened to me since I started to untie my laces.

I have wide feet and unfortunately couldn’t get Achilles to fit no matter how much I tried. Ended up buying some BBalls (which I later sold) and for those I used a shoe stretcher and replaced the insoles, then after 4-5 days of non stop wear they eventually broke in and were fine (wearable, but still not comfortable). Sadly my feet are not made for CPs either

Anyone ever added grips to CP military boots? Or replaced sole altogether?

I messaged this fella about getting my Virgil’s resoled and he was helpful enough, if you look at his work he seems fairly clued up so I’d imagine if it’s possible he would be able to. Probably won’t be cheap though

Bought some achilles about 3 years ago and they are knackered now, the upper by the ankle has ripped down to the midsole. No proof of purchase as ebay job - does anyone have any experience about sending them in to common projects for a repair/replacement?
Daft question but do you untie your laces each time you take the shoe off?
I had a pair that done this at the heel but it was because I never untied the lace I just thew my foot in there and eventually it all ripped.
I've bought other pairs since and its never happened to me since I started to untie my laces.
I get blisters on my toes after wearing bballs for about 2hrs. They seem to fit ok overall and I'm sure a size up would be too big (I have Achilles that are a size up and they are too long). I'm trying to stretch them with shoe trees but probably have to accept CPs ain't for me.

Sadly my feet are not made for CPs either
So annoying as the bballs are the correct length for but hurt my pinky toe after a couple hrs of wear - I'm trying the shoe trees again and will wear them for short periods to see if I can get them to work. Probably will have to try to sell them, though.
Edit - I've ordered some shoe stretchers and a spray from Amazon for £20. Lets see if that helps.
Tempted to try the Achilles copies from A day's march.
