Rather have sustainable boots reworked, rather than tossing them. Started with a pair of Redwings, then these and ultimately ending up with a pair of Alden 405’s, aka the Indy boot.

Follow up on my Thorogood boot restoration post. I received my old boots back after the work, and was very pleased with the results. The complete restore ran $125.00 plus shipping. They make the whole process very easy. These are my house work boots so I’m glad to get them back. Local cobbler charged me $85.00 for new soles alone, and they burned out in less than a year. This round, the boots were literally coming apart.

You get….
New welt, midsoles, lowers, new inner, laces any repaired stitching and the leather conditioned.
