Most any regular shoe shop can do them but I looked for a shop that had at least worked on cycling shoes.
I have always had them put on my cowboy boots for traction but they also do a fantastic job of keeping the shape and integrity of the sole like new.
Again, spendy, these were $70 but well worth it to me. The guy came down from $90 when I squirmed and you can shop around but I was glad to pay for this, they work great.
