My impression is that current Dr Martens cannot be resoled-- at least not most of their models. Do you know what's what?

Wrong impression shared by many. I'm no cobbler but they use a modified goodyear welt and can be resoled but you have to find a more experienced cobbler to resole them back to OEM specs. If they can resole them using another sole type other than OEM....of that, I'm ignorant.
