text from Terry Pratchett; art by Higgs who's tumblr i've linked
i can't rember which book this is from -- i wanna say it's Men at Arms but it could even be Guards Guards. Higgs seems to think it's Night Watch, but I'm pretty sure it happened before that...

You can get boots re-soled at a cobbler.
I thought about it, but the lining at the heels is wearing out too. I'm pretty satisfied with ~10 years per pair of boots.
The key word is "Good year welt". Boots with a goodyear welt can have the soles removed and replaced.
