1. Select sole
Use a precut or cut out new sole.
2. Mark line
20-30mm back from wear line. Line is drawn on the waist of the shoe, generally on an angle; draw the line so that it gets ground off.
3. Grind shoe then sole
Straight and shallow grind. Grind to edge of shoe. Taper the new sole and check for fit. Need a nice "square" edge.
4. Glue shoe then sole

5. Heat and assemble
Shoe on last then line new sole up and press firmly at waist.
