    Having Boots Resoled

    Anyone have any recommendations to have a pair of boots resoled. I've got a pair of Cabela's Outfitter insulated hunting boots that I've had for about 13 years. These are by far the best insulated boots I've found and I don't like the new version that Cabela's makes. The uppers are in great...
