Does it have to be in the US? My cobbler in Adelaide does this sort of upgrades and he’s incredible, good prices too. Check his FB account:Gents, seeking your feedback on a crazy idea and a recommendation as to who might execute it.
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a new pair of Chelsea boots from Benzein for a while - something a bit chunky and casual, with a thicker sole and dogger/woodsman heel. The cost and wait time put me off, since this might just be a weird idea that will end up back here in the classified section before too long.
However, I do have several pairs of RM Williams dress boots that don’t get a lot of wear because of the thin sole and low heel.
What do you think about the idea of getting these resoled into something more like the below?

Any suggestions on a good cobbler to discuss this idea with? A couple years ago I bookmarked a newish outfit just starting out who would be ideal, but long since list the link to their Insta page.
