Dear Jennifer,
=20
Yep I have replaced soles on shoes for the last 20 years =96 I hate it. =
I
try to avoid it wherever I can. In fact if there is someone else who
will do the job I=92ll get them to do it instead.
=20
If the leather is too squashed, then just dispose of the old sole and
replace it ( if your shoes are of an upper and lower construction =96 if
they are one piece then your life will be far more tricky ). The area
around the hole will be pretty thin and the leather will also be full of
fine grit. So my advice is to get shot of a fair area and insert a new
piece. With the shoe re-turned ( better done wet in some cases ) then
sew in the new section with a whip tunnel stitch or a saddle stitch
again tunnel stitched. This may create a ridge which will need to be
ironed out with a mallet. At this point you may discover that the sole
leather was worse than you suspected or the stitches were too tight,
etc, etc. Quality is everything regarding shoes. Crumby leather will let
you down sooner than supple thick leather.
=20
That=92s why I generally replace soles wholesale. Even then the original
upper will have stretched out of shape from your original pattern =96 so
it=92s always tricky.=20
=20
The latchet shoe from Jorvik demonstrates a clump in the heel as I
recall =96 but that=92s the only instance I can recall. The holed soles =
that
crop up would imply that their habit was to cut the old sole free and
replace it. There are a series from London ( slightly later ) where
holes etc abound, and areas were slashed to ease pressure on bunions.
=20
You asked about heavier sole leather. That is an option and an accurate
one too. But again I must point out that the leather must be both thick
and supple =96 that=92s how they were able to make their shoes the way =
they
did. You should be able to turn the shoe dry and only use water when
really pressed.
=20
Cheers, Roll.

I have a question about turnshoes. Have you mended the soles on yrs?
What about clump soles? Are they a later idea? Have you used a
heavier, stiffer hide for the soles? Does that make it impossible to
turn the shoes right side out?
Jennifer, asking all too many silly questions
