The Keep, Resole or Replace Kit

Buy the pair that fits, price every pair per wear, and know when a resole beats a new pair

SoleCare's calculators each answer one shoe question well, and the answers stop short of the decision. The Resole Cost Estimator prices a full rubber resole at $55 and stops: it never says whether the quote beats a new pair. And while writing this kit we fixed two of our own tools: the Width & Fit Guide asked for a tape wrapped around the foot on a scale built for a width measured straight across, so it called nearly every foot EEE, and the Shoe Size Converter rounded a foot length to the nearest half size, putting a 26.2 cm foot in a shoe made for 26.0 cm. This kit is the arithmetic that joins them, in seven steps. Fit comes first: size from the longer foot and round up, measure width straight across, convert your size and convert it back to see what a whole EU size loses, and set the break-in against the return window. Then price every pair per wear: a $300 pair worn 6 times because it pinched cost $50.00 a wear. A $55 resole beats a new $90 pair only if the upper has 96 more wears in it, and a $300 resoleable pair needs 6 resoles before it truly costs less per wear than a $90 one bought again. Every figure is computed from the site's own calculators; the worked numbers are examples, and sizes follow one stated standard, with brands varying. It makes no claim that any shoe fixes foot pain, and sends pain, numbness and diabetes-related foot concerns to a doctor or podiatrist. Included: 24 printable pages with a foot card, a try-on and return log, a pair ledger, a resole or replace worksheet, reference tables and a quickstart, plus a personalised sheet worked from the numbers you enter in our calculators.
