What does RESOLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To fit a shoe or boot with a new sole.
Resole describes the standard repair a cobbler performs when the bottom of a shoe has worn through but the rest of the shoe is still sound: the old sole is removed or built over, and a new one is stitched or glued in its place. Good leather boots are often bought with resoling in mind, since a well-made upper can outlast several soles over the years. The word is used almost exclusively for footwear, unlike other repair verbs that name a different part being replaced. Shoe repair shops commonly advertise resoling as one of their core services alongside heel replacement and stretching.
