Boot resoling recommendation

Have a pair of BMW Venture boots in need of resoling. Has anyone found a reputable shop you can recommend? I’d take them to a local shoe repair shop, but want someone who can maintain the waterproof quality of these boots. Thanks for your help.

Not sure where you are located but we have a guy here in Charlotte, NC who is a true cobbler and is Virbam certified. He has done a bunch of work for me and resolved work boots of carious types. He can even do running shoes, deck shoes and just about any type. The work boots he did for me were waterproof and still remain waterproof. He and his wife own and run the shop and are really nice folks too!

I got a good referral from my BMW dealer - recommended a moto-experienced local cobbler who did a great job resoling and refurbishing.
 
Well there you have it !! Lot's of options and choices. Depending on where you live and how you want to handle. I would try and use a local business though which ever you select.
 
I am fortunate to have a local cobbler shop where the 2 main guys are bike guys and have been friends for many years. They have resoled multiple pairs of footwear and have done repairs on many odd items over the years. They do good work. In this day and age there are very few real cobblers left out there in the world support the ones close to you.
