Dr. Martens famous for not being able to replace the sole. However, Kutsushoten is the only one in Japan that will replace the sole with genuine specifications. I tried to replace the sole of the boots I wore for 10 years.
First of all, I will introduce the comparison before and after the replacement. The color may look slightly different due to the lighting at the time of shooting, but it is completely the same as the genuine insole except for the presence or absence of the Dr. Martens logo.
The heel and heel part, which are easy to scrape, have been completely revived. The new sole had so many grooves (laughs)

Dr. Martens 10-hole boots sent for outsole replacement
The first Doc Martens I bought about 10 years ago. I wanted to be a member of Michelle Gun Elephant, so I chose 10 holes. I was happy when the clerk at the official Dr.
Even in the band I was in when I was a student, I wore a mod suit and Dr. Martens. There is almost no difference in the sole groove left on the toe.
While repairing the scratches on the toe leather with wax or putty.
Since the heel was considerably scraped and the air cushion part in the sole was about to be exposed, I reinforced it with Shoogu's Dr. Martens color, but I was worried about the appearance.
The grooves on the side of the outsole have also been scraped and rounded a little.
Inevitably, there is a limit to repairing and reinforcing with Shugu, so I finally decided to replace the sole of Dr. Martens.
Dr. Martens' soles cannot be replaced! ? Officially unrepairable.
Doc Martens' soles cannot be replaced. However, the heel is quickly scraped and worn out. There is no official repair service, so I had no choice but to throw it away after wearing it, or replace it with a different sole such as a vibram sole.

However, Kutsushoten independently produces replacement soles for Dr. Martens, and has a factory that can replace all soles after adding grooves on the side of Dr. Martens' unique rubber soles! As far as I know, it is the only high-quality shoe repair shop in Japan that can replace all soles with the same soles as Dr. Martens genuine soles.

In addition to all sole replacement, we can also handle a wide range of repairs such as sole replacement and partial repair. If you don't care about the same sole as the genuine sole, you can do repairs at other stores, but Kutsushoten is especially familiar with Dr. Martens repairs, so you can ask for repairs other than all sole replacement.
Normally, if you replace all soles of leather shoes, it costs more than 10,000 yen for both feet. Even if you replace the vibram sole, the vibram sole itself is expensive, so you can also see 18,000 yen for all sole replacement. However, if the sole replacement for Dr. Martens genuine specification is shoes, both feet can be replaced for 6,090 yen. This price is also an advantage of asking Kutsushoten for Dr. Martens repair.
It is also possible to repair only the heel of Dr. Martens by cutting it diagonally. 2750 yen for both feet. The color and texture of the rubber sole and the grooves on the side unique to Dr. Martens make it almost impossible to feel uncomfortable.
Basically, you can ask for any kind of shoe repair, so I recommend that you contact Kutsushoten first if you want to repair or repair Dr. Martens other than replacing all soles. I'm used to Martin, so I speak quickly.

Dr. Martens arrived after sole replacement!
Welcome back! my doc martens! Before sending it for repair, I carefully waxed it, so the leather on the upper is in good condition.
Flip it over and it's a perfect new sole! very! There were so many grooves! ? New as you think.
The heel and heel parts that were shaved and looked bad have also been revived.
The side that had been cut and rounded is also perfect. The horizontal groove of this rubber sole is important because it is an element that is typical of Dr. Martens.
The heels are beautiful and I look back over and over again and smile. I can't believe the look changes so much just by replacing the sole.
Since the replacement sole of the shoes is not genuine Dr. Martens, the logo is not included, but other than that, it is completely the same as the genuine one.
I put the Dr. Martens genuine sole and the replacement sole side by side.
I compared it with other Doc Martens. Not inferior at all. I can't tell unless they tell me it's a replacement sole. No, I don't know what to say.
Even with genuine Dr. Martens, the color of the sole differs depending on the year and place of production, so I don't mind comparing the color of the rubber sole
It looks beautiful even from the heel side. It looks like genuine sole.
Even if you line up the back side of the sole, there is no difference even if you compare them. If you actually wear it, no one will see the back of the sole other than yourself, and you can't tell if it's a replaced sole.
Comparison photo before and after sole replacement
Comparison photos with details. Let's compare the original Dr. Martens sole and Kutsushoten's replacement sole.
As expected, the appearance from behind is the most different. The heel part that was shaved has become beautiful, and the whole boot looks like it's in order.
The corners and grooves of the sole have been shaved off and the rounded sides have a crisp and sharp impression.
Outside side that is easy to scrape. Since it is the outside of the foot, it is easy to scrape, so there was almost no groove.
By restoring the corners of the heel and grooves, it looks beautiful even when viewed from the side.
The heel, which had been shaved and was at its limit, has been completely revived. Did you mean that there was such a groove at first?
The toe is also easy to scrape. Dr. Martens' toes are slightly raised, so the impression changes quite a bit just by having a clean sole.
There was a little chip on the toe, but it was fine. The black base sole with this yellow stitch has not been replaced, but the surface was probably smoothed in the process of crimping the outsole. There were many small scratches, but it was beautiful.
The same is true for the heel side, and the black base sole has a smooth surface and is beautiful. By the way, dirt on the stitches can be removed with a wide haiter, and fuzz can be cleaned with a lighter.
Since it is in a new state after the sole has been replaced, the color feels bright, but the color will become calmer with use, so I don't mind.
From a distance, the embossed logo is barely visible. It looks like there is no difference. The center of the replacement sole is embossed on the inside with Doc Martens and size DM5.
The height of the heel is the same as the genuine one.
The height of the toe is the same as the genuine one.
The groove width on the side of the outsole is about 1mm, which is the same as the genuine one. A perfect replacement sole.
I tried wearing them for a few days, but the way the sole is scraped is the same as the genuine Dr. Martens sole. There is no sign that the replaced sole will come off, and you can use it without any problems. It's my favorite Martin, so I'm really happy to be able to wear it again!
Video of before and after sole replacement
I also made a comparison video that shows the videos before and after the sole replacement.
