Definitely a cheaper alternative my other pair of wolverines was 75 to resole at the cobbler and i was not all that happy with the end result

To install them you must sand the soles down to bare leather apply appropriate glue barge original recommended and press them very well against the soles of the shoes for 24 hours then trim off the excess
