Where to buy caulks, or cobblers who will caulk on lower mainland/Vancouver Island?

[ConiferBlack]

Would like to grab a pair of pre-caulked hikers or maybe get a pair of Scarpa or Meindl turned into caulks. I hear pre-caulked Meindls may be a thing? This would be ideal. What are the best places? Definitely don't want to have to resort to Vikings...

Hoffman sells Meindls (http://www.hoffmanboots.com/category.aspx?categoryID=69) but with conversion and shipping it's probably cheaper to get a regular pair and have them caulked locally. Most any cobbler will do the job. I've had it done at Stevenson's in Victoria and Pagani & Son's in Powell River.

Deakin sell Viking caulk boots. I always wear these in the woods on the east coast since softwood ground here tends to be wet or damp and will destroy leather when thinning and walking on small diameter stumps that could be in the thousands in thick softwood thinning. I buy the 69-1 model.
