boot repair “I have a pair of One Sport Moraines that must be 10-12 years old. They are a member of my family now, but they have fallen on sad times. The leather is in great shape thanks to my pampering, but the soles and the corky stuff b/w the sole and the leather is totally deteriorated. Does anyone know a good boot repair service? I checked with several shoe repair joints in my town and they won't do it. I just can't let them go without a fight.” 1:27:11 PM 1/09/02 “dcannon, I don't know where you live but I found this info on 3 different boot repair places on another hiking site. Dave Page, Cobbler 3509 Evanston Avenue North Seattle, WA 98103 800-252-1229 www.davepagecobbler.com A veritable legend in the business, Page's 32-year-old Seattle operation is the largest repairer of outdoor boots in the country. Ailing footwear comes to him from far and near, including European manufacturers, Raichle and Asolo, and all 60 REI outlets around the country. Komito Boots 235 West Riverside Estes Park, CO 80517 800-422-2668 Steve Komito's repair shop in Estes Park, Colorado, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, has been around nearly as long Page's. He does warranty work for manufacturers such as La Sportiva and Five Ten. And while he estimates that nearly 80 percent of his work is on climbing shoes, he can handle just about anything. The Cobbler and Cordwainer 73 Crescent Avenue New Rochelle NY 10801 800-788-2668 www.cobcord.com According to Webster's, a cordwainer is a "worker in cordovan leather" or "a shoemaker." This shop in upstate New York is authorized by numerous boot makers including Asolo, Lowa, and Vasque and claims to have the largest collection of boot soles in the Eastern U.S.” 1:49:45 PM 1/09/02 Boot repair question “Outstanding. Muchas gracias, kleetn. I live in Bham, AL., and the folks here told me to send them out of state also. I'll give these guys a shot. Thanks again.” 1:58:56 PM 1/09/02 “let us know what happens!” 2:35:22 PM 1/09/02 “David Page in Seattle is legendary.” 3:30:30 PM 1/09/02 “Get New boots man. Just stick the old ones in the trophy case.” 5:52:55 PM 1/09/02
