Shoe Repair

See more at redwingshoes.com - In a bygone era, cobblers lived in every major town and would both build new shoes and repair broken shoes for their customers. In some places, shoes are still made with hand-cut leathers and sewn on soles - shoes that can hold up for a decade rather than months - with proper repair...

Meet the team who helps restore timeworn Red Wing shoes. If you prefer your boots to have a little history, you'll appreciate the restoration process we go through to revitalize a pair of well-used boots.

I live in yuma, az. I know there's a red wing store here. But all I think they do is re-soul. And not whatever else I want done to them.

@MrJosephsoto Looks like there are a number of stores authorized to sell Red Wings in your area, but the closest Red Wing Shoe Store is quite a distance from you: El Cajon, CA to be exact. I'll find out if we have an authorized repair shop near you, and how you can arrange to have them sent in for repair. If there's nothing close, we can find a way to have you send them to Red Wing, MN for repair at the factory.

@MrJosephsoto Looks like you need to either contact the store in El Cajon, or you can send them directly to our shop in Red Wing.

I need my chukkas resouled and just everything done to them. I don't think my shoe shop here I town do all of that. What do I do?

[RedWingShoeCompany]

@MrJosephsoto Where are you located? Your best bet is to take them to a Red Wing Shoe Store if there is one in your area. Regardless, let us know and we can see if there's an authorized repair shop near you. Red Wing Shoe Stores show up as red icons in the results on our store finder page on the Red Wing Shoes site.

that was seriously incredible! I don't own any Red Wings yet, but Jake just convinced me where I should get my next pair of shoes from. Great video!

A phenomenal piece about true Americana and the spirit that drives U.S. labor.

As the last independent American manufacturer of commercial warewashing equipment, we can relate. We've been in business for over 100 years and continue to strive to exceed our customers' expectations.

That's why we proudly wear Red Wing work boots in our factory.

I hope you'll consider watching our corporate video and join us in celebrating American manufacturing.

Thank you!

to call people who have actually laughed at people who have sent their shoes/boots in for for repair to either Red Wing, or Shoe repair businesses, think about it this way...you buy a pair for 150.00 every year for five years for 750.00...Great! If your boss pays for them even greater!

Repair them 2 times, for 80.00 each time, and then repeat. 600.00 instead of 750.00* I am not saying it is a sin to keep buying new ones, but think about the 150.00 you have saved! what could you do with that?!!

[RedWingShoeCompany]

If you have a repair shop you are comfortable with, I suggest you continue to use them. We sell replacement parts for our boots to shoe repair shops all over the country. Doing business locally is just fine with us. Thanks for your comments.

Store personnel maybe hesitant to send questionable boots onto our repair shop as there is shipping expense involved. There is no argument that a shoe repair shop likely has a better eye than a shoe salesman in one of our stores. We would prefer our boots be repaired instead of thrown away. We build them with so they can be repaired.

@ericl530 In most cases, the final determination of whether a boot can be repaired requires the sole to be removed. A visual inspection isn’t the final answer. This is done by cutting the boot with a band saw. Once the sole is removed, the repairman can determine if the structure of the boot is solid enough to accept a new sole. However, once the boot is cut it is either a candidate for repair or the trash. There is no turning back.
