Why Repair Your Hillwalking Boots?

Hillwalking boots are designed to endure tough conditions, but even the most durable boots can show signs of wear after repeated use. Soles can wear down, seams may split, and waterproofing can weaken. Repairing your boots is a sustainable and cost-effective way to keep them performing their best while reducing waste. At Feet First Chesterfield, we’re passionate about restoring your boots to their original glory.

If you do not see the repair or product you require or you need a specific quote, please call us on 01246 260 795 or email us at info@resoles.co.uk for an accurate quote.

What kind of walking boot repairs can we do?

Our Repair Services

We offer a full range of repair options for hillwalking boots, including:

  • Eyelet and Lace Repairs: Replace broken eyelets or worn laces to ensure a secure fit.
  • Sole Replacement: Restore traction and durability with high-quality sole replacements.

Got a pair of walking boots that are perfectly broken in but now the soles are wearing thin or lacking grip when the going gets tough? A resole can bring them back to their former glory for many more miles to come. First, the old sole is carefully removed, preserving the upper part of the shoe. Then, a brand new sole, chosen to match the style and function of your shoe, is meticulously stitched or glued into place. We use top-quality materials and time-tested techniques to ensure a long-lasting and comfortable fit that makes your shoes feel brand new again.

FAQ

Can all types of footwear be repaired?

Most types of footwear can be repaired, including dress shoes, boots, trainers, and sandals. The feasibility of repair depends on the specific damage and the construction of the shoe. Feel free to bring your footwear in for an assessment.

How long does a typical repair take?

We always have a lead time before we can start the repair itself. The duration of a repair itself can vary based on the complexity of the work required. Simple repairs like heel replacements may take a few days, whereas more intricate restorations could take longer. We aim to complete all repairs promptly without compromising on quality. If you need your shoes repaired quickly, consider our express service.

Absolutely! Although the exact parts for your footwear may no longer be available for your shoes, we are time-served, skilled craftspeople. We have decades of experience adapting and fitting soles and other components to all manner of unusual and unique footwear.
