What is a welt?
On traditionally made boots and shoes it is a strip of leather that connects the actual boot to the sole. Looking down at your shoes, it is the part on the outside with stitching. Sometimes we can stitch a new sole onto the original welt but if its damaged it might need to be replaced.
Do you fix zippers?
Yes, we can replace zippers on shoes, bags, and leather or denim jackets. If the actual zipper teeth are damage we will need to replace it. If the zipper teeth are in good shape, it might only need the slider replaced as they wear out.
Can I stretch my shoes?
We can stretch most leather shoes and boots to give you a little more space in the toe box, the instep (top of foot), and the shaft. We cannot increase the length or overall size. Stretching starts at $20/pair
Can Birkenstocks be repaired?
Yes, we can replace the sole or the entire cork footbed. A rebuild replaces the sole and cork footbed and will feel and look like a new pair. The leather straps are very durable and meant to be transferred to new footbeds and soles for many years.
