Can I resole these footwear
You could certainly try it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I know my cobblers would probably refuse to do it because they'd have to replace the soles which would run around $40 some. I know this because I have a beloved set of Nina ballet flats (leather soles) plus they inquired about whether I really took it ahead using the repair. You may want to obtain a quote beforehand or see if you will find any DIY rubber sole options you could handle yourself. They do seem like great flats!

It can be done, but it's most likely not worthwhile. My shoe repair guy tends to let me know that repairing cheap shoes is a waste of money - they don't possess the internal structure to give the repair stability, and financially isn't worth it. (Just how much do flats from Payless cost? $20? And you're likely to spend a minimum of $10 to possess them resoled? Not worthwhile.)
Also: simply take these phones the local shoe repair place and ask. They'll probably provide you with a genuine answer.

These shoes have glued soles, soles that have been worn through. A cobbler won't be able to "replace the soles" the traditional way. A stitched shoe includes a multi-layer sole Body layer that is stitched towards the shoe along with other layers that are glued onto it. To replace the only, the cobbler strips from the glued layers and puts new material on. If the stitched layer is worn through, the shoe is almost irreparable, like a new stitched layer would need to be sewn onto the shoe using a last/shoe form. Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is possible that a creative cobble can try sanding down the sole and gluing a topy (protective rubber layer, comes in varying thicknesses) to the soles, but the shoes would still have a large structural weakness and could possibly wear through again fairly quickly. The very best repair is always to cut/sand a section of rubber to fill the outlet and blend into the remaining sole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then glue a topy over that. However i don't know if any cobbler would try - it could be also away from skillset of some.
If it were me, I'd look for more flats in support of basically couldn't find suitable ones would I repair these - it will be spendy and a short-term solution. If you get cheap flats that you like, maybe you might take those who work in to the cobbler for a topy right away - that would prolong their life. You may could DIY a repair on these and put them on throughout the house as slippers?
Sadly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is hard to repair non-stitched shoes, as well as stitched shoes that are Blake-sewn (the quicker and lighter Italian method) require a special machine to resole. Goodyear welted shoes (this kind of welting is most common on better men's shoes and virtually impossible on delicate flats) is the best kind for repairable shoes.

Alas, no, not without having to spend an unreasonable amount of time and money. I tried to get this done with an inexpensive pair of boots that I really liked, even though the repair looked fine it wasn't durable and not really felt right. Granted that situations are different for men's shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when you would like your shoes to become repairable then you've to invest more than $20 at the outset to purchase a shoe that was made to be repaired. A $200 footwear has repair-ability built-in, since the owner expects these phones last.

I also wish to include that women's shoes generally are rarely made to be repairable. Even nice ones. Especially ballet flats. Nice ones will take longer to wear out, that's all. And past a particular point (which IMO is the J Crew level) more money isn't buying more durability; it's just buying fancier materials and more au courant styling. Probably the smartest thing you can do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ballet flat-wise is get a topy put on the only after the initial few wears (to make certain that the shoe isn't going to fall apart and isn't totally uncomfortable).
If I may lament briefly: for this reason I don't understand or buy women's shoes. With men's shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the different options are ~$250 (or even less if you really search the internet - I've seen welted shoes on sale within the mid-low hundreds) and obtain shoes that are structurally sound and can serve you for a while before needing any repair. With women's shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the different options are $500 and get something that will wear through quickly or whose heel will break. Almost the only really high-quality women's shoes available - again IMO - are made by firms that primarily make men's shoes. Some women's boots are welted - Frye, I believe, and Fiorentini Baker.

At this point, they're looking pretty far gone. The damage extends at night sole. Caught earlier, it could have been more viable for any cobbler to a minimum of perform a fast and dirty cemented-on repair, assuming all of those other shoe is intact. The industry perfectly acceptable way to extend the life associated with a shoe that simply has a worn sole.

OK,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seems like overwhelming opinion is it would not be economical. Thank you for all of the advice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], company, will appear for better shoe options later on.
