I bought a used pair of Frye’s on FB Marketplace and brought them to Dave to redo the heels. He did a spectacular job, kept the integrity of style, gave them a nice little buff, and to boot (har har) he is just a lovely guy. Highly recommend, and trust him with my most coveted boots.

Reviews
Brought a pair of work boots that were falling apart at the heel and causing blisters and he got them done real well with a nice new leather on the inside and really took his time to make sure that it was a real high-quality and won’t do it again. I’d recommend this store to anyone.
Dave has done work on 4 different pairs of boots for me and my family, from a full resole, half resole, leather patch/repair and some stitching repair and every detail is top quality! He obviously really cares about his customers and his craft and the finished work doesn’t lie, a true master craftsmen. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for any shoe repair.
