Whether a shoe can be resoled depends entirely on the design and construction of the shoe. On lower quality shoes, replacement soles may not be available. The rubber cup outsole is permanently bonded to the leather uppers using cement, and removing it usually destroys the leather, making replacement impossible.
Sneakers and casual shoes are commonly constructed using cup soles, which is faster, easier and less expensive than a Blake Stitch or a Goodyear Welt. Blake Stitch shoes can be resoled, but a cobbler will need a Blake Stitch Machine, which makes resoling more expensive and more difficult.
The Goodyear welt is one of the most common methods of construction, and also one of the most durable. With Goodyear construction, a piece of leather the welt is applied to the perimeter of the shoe where the outsole meets the upper. Excellent and prompt Service..

Most high heels have hard plastic ends called heel tips and they wear out and fall off fairly frequently. You can extend their life by taking brand new shoes in and having high-quality tips put on immediately, but when any tips wear out they can be easily replaced.
You can replace heel tips yourself , too, but personally, I'd be terrified of destroying my heels with one misplaced hammer swing. OK, very, very occasionally heeled shoes can be made slightly shorter in the heel and capped with a new tip.
But most heels are designed with the footbed at an angle that accommodates a specific heel height, and monkeying with it will make the shoe unsightly and uncomfortable. Making heels taller is virtually impossible. If you've got a pair of leather flats or boots that are just a smidgen too tight across the bridge of your foot, this will be the best news you've heard all day.
There are lots of methods and tools for stretching your shoes at home , but a cobbler can get it done at a lower risk. Leather shoes can be stretched slightly for width, very slightly for length, and tall boot shafts can be stretched a tiny bit for width. Shoes can sometimes be stretched to accommodate bunions. Some faux leather and cloth styles can be stretched, too. There are a number of pads and insoles you can use to make loose shoes fit a bit tighter, but no reliable way for a shoe repair person to "take in" your shoes.
Thinks those old tan boots would get more use if they were black? Many cobblers can over-dye leather shoes for you.
