Default Where can I get boot leather for my wife's boot heel?

If you want to be a real hero take it to a good shoe repair shop and
have it done right.


I'm dismayed with that answer.

How many of you here are wholly incapable of replacing
a boot heel, such that you've never done it?

Isn't this a *repair* group?
Don't you "repair" things?

I guess it's not "home" repair, pe se, so you guys must be all into
contruction, I guess, so I apologize for asking here.

Looking around for a real repair group, I only saw scientific equipment
repair, which this isn't.

Is there some other group that repairs stuff "in" the home that
I can ask instead?




I am pretty good when it comes to fixing things and usually do a fully
functional (though not elegant) repair.


I'd sure you could fix your wife's shoe but I'd be surprised if your
wife would like it.

There are still expert shoe repair craftsmen who would fix it 100% to
your wife's satisfaction.


Just get it done right and it will save your marriage.
