Boot Repair Services

Handmade Boots
Quality handmade boots like White’s, Hathorn, Nicks, Drew's and others need specialized attention provided by repair professionals. Such as:
- At Drew's, boots are repaired and re-soled on the original lasts that they were manufactured on. This restores the original shape of the arch and shank that is critical to the fit and comfort of the boot.
- Heel settings and balance of high arch boots is imperative. Heel bases need to be set correctly so pronation or supination is minimized. Ball and heel of boot is balanced for level walking.
- We use machinery that restitches Vibram lug soles to boots so they meet factory specifications. This is important to avoid sole de-lamination.
- Drew's repair technicians are careful to preserve the hand sewing and welting when resoling boots. Also, careful attention is given to insole condition and other factors that may determine if your boots need a factory rebuild. We will advise you accordingly.

Drew's Boots uses only the highest grade repair materials available. Original materials are used when possible to restore your boots to like-new condition. Leather soles used for repair are superior to original soles and will wear longer with greater moisture resistance. Oil tan or dry tan soles are available.

Drew's is not responsible for boots lost, damaged by fire, or left for more than 30 days.
Boot Rebuilding
One advantage of handmade boots is the fact that they are completely rebuildable. This is a different service than the boot overhaul referred to previously. All White’s Boots, Drew's Boots and Nicks Boots can be completely rebuilt to brand new condition by using the old uppers to build a new pair. When the insole of your boots begin to crack, crystallize, and rot because of extended wear, they need to be rebuilt. Resoling (only) is not an option when the insoles are destroyed. Sometimes this is not evident until the boot is taken apart by our technicians. We will advise you that your boots need a factory rebuild and get the work done for you.
Factory Rebuild Includes:
- New insoles
- New midsoles
- New shanks (arches)
- New vamps (toe piece)
- New out soles
- New counter pockets
- Plus replacing worn hooks or eyes, restitching any bad seams, oiling and cleaning boots.
- Your boots will be like new except for the original uppers. Rebuilding is recommended as it will cost you substantially less than a new pair. Call for price quotes on rebuild costs or e-mail us: orders@drewsboots.com.
