Boot Repair in or Around Knox?

[Clod Stomper]

The soles gave up on my Danner Quarries after about 12 years. I know I can send them back to Danner to be resoled, but it's over 100 bucks plus shipping. I'd rather just add another hundred an buy a new pair.

So if I can get these fixed for less than that nearby, I'd rather do that.

Yea, I've done a search, but I don't know anything about the places around here. Anyone have experience?

Thanks,

Will

Roger's has done a nice job resoling a couple of shoes for me in the past. Not boots, but figure he'd do fine on those too. Been in biz a long time.

 

Kroger shopping center in short Bearden, in the "hole" area next to Ross the Boss:

Pendergrass has resoled my cowboy boots twice. They have done a great job. It was about $80 each time though. It's not gonna be much cheaper than shipping back to Danner http://www.pendergrassshoerepair.com/ Edited July 19, 2014 by Lumber_Jack

Are the soles sewn on or glued? If they're glued, it's not too hard to DIY.

There's a little shop on Broadway in Fountain City. I've had a couple pair of boots worked on there and they've done an outstanding job. Can't remember the name, shop is just past yeah duck pond towards halls.

Thanks everyone. I'll check the two on Kingston Pike first. Those are most convenient. See what it'll set me back.

They are glued on and they did delaminate, but one layer has essentially rotted. I haven't even worn them in a couple years, they did that just sitting.

I tried fixing a pair of Redwings on my own a few years ago when I melted the soles (actually the glue) on a wildfire in New Mexico. It didn't turn out too well.

Here is my research for shoe cobbler for Knoxville:

I used Pendergrass to resole a pair of Red Wings.  They did a great job and I will use them again..  Cost $75.00, 6 or 7 years ago.  Red Wing wanted over $100.00.
