Boot Repair
It makes sense to have footwear that can be resoled over and over again. But
do you know why your boots wear out?
The average step is 26 inches. The average person walks up to five miles per
day. That means you take 12,185 steps per day.
On an average work day, a person weighing 160 lbs. exerts 4,600 pounds of
pressure onto their boots.
Local:
Outback Leather located at 381 Main St. in Laurel, 301-604-2211, resoles boot
with a 2-3 day turnaround. You have your choice of soles: leather, rubber,
ribbed rubber, or neolite. The cost for full soles and heels is about $55.
"Your Shoe Service" located on Camp Meade Rd. in Linthicum is
another local repair shop that comes highly recommended. It's an old-fashioned
kind of place that doesn't use a telephone, so you'll have to take a little
drive. The workmanship is great and the turnaround is about a week.
Long Distance:
New Life Boot Rebuilders in Custer City, OK knows cowboy boots inside and
out. Not only do they resole boots, but they specialize in bringing old, sorry
boots back to life. Even if your puppy chewed straight through them, they can
probably fix it. Soles run from $80 to $160 depending on what kind of work
needs done. Minor repairs start at $25 (plus shipping). Stop by, call or
e-mail to find out all the details. We'll ship the boots out for you and give
you a call as soon as they get back to us. The turnaround is generally 6
to 8 weeks, but well worth the wait.
