From childhood and far into adulting, it’s our tennies that give us the ability to frolic in the playgrounds of life, and when you find a perfect pair of squeaks, they should last a long, long time. ​ Unfortunately, part of sneaker ageing is that the soles can pull apart, the mesh and fabrics can wear down or tear, and inevitably, they get super dirty. We heard that the cool kids refer to these sad and worn-down kicks as “beaters” and “biscuits”. But don’t give up on your favorites just yet! ​ Cobblers Direct can keep your shoe game going strong. ​ We can repair those high-tops, low-tops—or anywhere-in-between tops—and get them back on your feet in no-time.

The Anatomy of a Dress Boot When we approach a dress boot repair project, we focus on structural preservation. There are 5 primary areas of concern when we evaluate any damage:​ ​ The Upper is the top of the boot. The shoe Insole is the part your foot actually sits on. The Welt or Midsole lies in between the sole and the upper. This is a critical component that is stitched or glued directly to the upper and serves as the foundation for the sole to attach to. The Heel Base lies in between the heel cap and the sole. Similar to the welt, the heel base is attached directly to the sole and serves as the foundation for the heel caps to attach to. The Sole and Heel Cap are the components of the shoe that make contact with the ground and give you the traction and support you need while walking. The majority of your wear and tear occurs here, and basic repairs can be maintained. However, if you wait too long wear through these layers, you risk damaging the welt, insole and/or upper, which will result in more extensive repair needs. Heel Cap Repair One of the most common repairs on men’s dress boots is heel replacement. The heel is an integral part of the whole shoe and should always be protected from wear. After carefully evaluating your dress boot, we’ll replace and install new, protective rubber heel caps in order to preserve the heel base shape and integrity. These rubber caps also provide extra comfort, durability, and traction—similar to a brake pad that protects the rotors and calipers on a car. ​ ​ If you have heavy wear on the heel, you’ll most likely have significant wear on the sole as well. Read on to learn more about how we’ll diagnose and repair your soles. Watch Heel Repair Video Create Repair Order Sole Repair & Replacement If the soles of your dress boots have been worn down into the welt or midsole, it’s time for a sole replacement! Boots that have a severely worn sole or even a hole in the sole can be replaced with a new sole and a new heel. We can complete a half-sole repair without replacing the heels, or a full-sole repair which requires a new heel. Usually, if the sole is heavily worn, the heels are as well. ​ There are several reasons a sole replacement is so important. Once a hole has been worn into the sole, it can mean that the insole of the shoe is getting damaged. The insole, which every shoe is built around, is very critical to protect and preserve, because unfortunately, it can’t be replaced if damaged. Additionally, when soles are heavily worn at the toe or sides of a dress boot, it’s likely that the upper itself is getting scuffed and damaged with each step. Watch Sole Stitching Video Watch Sole Re-corking Video Create Repair Order To repair a sole, our cobblers will remove the old worn out sole, re-cork the inside filler when necessary, and then cement and/or carefully stitch a new leather or rubber sole onto the boot. Since most dress boots are level with a flat arch, we prefer doing a full sole with no half-sole splice so that your boots look fantastic. Sole & Heel Color Customization If your sole is worn down and needs to be replaced, how about a new color or tread? Depending on the type of dress boots you have, we can completely replace the tread, and even give it a new color if want to change things up. ​ If you’d like us to take a look at your dress boots to see if we can replace your tread, please send us photos here or you can live chat or Zoom with our cobblers to discuss your re-treading options. Boot Shine, Cleaning & Factory Refinish We can beautifully shine, clean, and/or completely refinish your dress boot uppers whether they're leather, suede, nubuck, or any other fine finish. ​ Every repair order comes with a free professional boot shine (a $9 value)! ​ Boot Shine: A boot shine consists of first cleaning off all the dirt, grime, and old polish, and then deep conditioning the leather until its buttery soft. Next, we hand rub a wax or cream polish to provide stain and color, and last, we buff the boot to bring out the highest shine possible. The friction and heat we produce with rigorous buffing activates the boot polish and produces a gorgeous sheen that makes your boots look fresh and new. ​ Deep Clean & Refinish: If you want your boots to look similar to the day you picked them off the shelves (or likewise, if they are made of suede, nubuck or fabric and can’t be “shined”), you’ll want what’s called a Deep Clean & Refinish. At the time new shoes and boots are manufactured, they receive a special custom finish that is applied at the very end of the process. This provides a beautiful long-term coating. When our cobblers complete a refinish on your shoes, we reapply the same gorgeous finish the shoe or boot had when it was made new. ​ For a full refinish, we first deep clean to remove any stains. Next, we’ll generously condition the shoe leather with pure lanolin (when needed), and then apply permanent color over worn and damaged areas. Lastly, we put on a new-boot custom topcoat. ​ Suede and nubuck must be dry cleaned or finely sanded when cleaning to ensure dirt and stains can be removed. By using special suede-cleaning stones or our delicate sand-blasting booth, we remove the stains gently without harming the suede or nubuck. After cleaning, the suede or nubuck is lightly brushed and waterproofed for longer protection. ​ Voila! Your shoes are like-new, and this process outlasts a regular shoe shine up to 10 times. ​ ​ NOTE: There are some stains, creases, cracks, etc. that may not be able to be removed in this (or any!) repair or restoration process, but we'll always do our very best to make your shoes look as "new" as possible! Watch Factory Refinish Video Create Repair Order Boot Stretching and Liner Replacement Our cobblers can stretch your dress boots if they feel too tight. Leather dress boots can be stretched up to ½ size and are stretched in the width, which helps with length as it allows the toe portion of the foot to spread out, relieving pressure. Fabric and other materials can also be stretched, just not always as easily. up to 1/2 size We can also replace the inside shoe sock liner if it gets rumpled. We’ll install a brand new leather sock liner—unwrinkled and fresh—in your dress boots that will provide both extra comfort and a clean new smell.

About Us & Our Craft "We weren’t always online. Then again, they didn’t have the internet in 1906." All in the Family Our family company has been in the shoe repair business since we first debuted over a hundred years ago—atop a horse-drawn carriage—in Houston, Texas. Since then, we’ve carefully repaired tens of millions of shoes, boots, handbags, belts, wallets, and just about anything leather one can dream up. ​ About 15 years ago, people began mailing their shoes and boots (unsolicited) to our doorstep, asking us to fix them. Some couldn’t find a local repair shop, while others were longtime customers who had moved out-of-state and knew we'd be happy to help. We realized quickly that there was a need to offer our shoe repair accessible online, so we could reach anyone and everyone who sought it—even overseas. ​ And thus, Cobblers Direct was born! ​ Nowadays, just about everyone in our family is woven into the business—from grandparents and parents to aunts and uncles and from sons and daughters to spouses and cousins alike. ​ And we wouldn’t have it any other way. ​ We’re so happy you found us! Now, how can we help? The Shoe Hospitals "The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Or in our case, the hammer, plier and anvil!" Our Parent Company: The Shoe Hospitals Cobblers Direct is a homespun spin-off of the world-famous Shoe Hospital family of companies that have been repairing shoes, boots, handbags—even luggage, horse saddles, jackets, and near-anything made of leather—throughout the great state of Texas since 1906. ​ The Shoe Hospitals very first store in Houston took the shape of a horse-drawn carriage one hundred and fourteen years ago. Since then, we’ve opened dozens of brick and mortar stores throughout Austin, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio to serve the repair needs of all shoe and boot buffs, connoisseurs, mavens, collectors, and enthusiasts alike! ​ Today, the Shoe Hospital family of companies is the largest shoe repair company in the world, taking great pride in the quality of our craft. A New Way to Cobble "We think it's safe to say that most people probably aren't expecting to find shoe repair online, but we hope that you're pleasantly surprised to have found it!" Online Shoe Repair by Mail Cobbling is a specialized craft that has been passed thru generations and is sadly disappearing from neighborhood storefronts. Luckily, the interweb (and FedEx!) has allowed Cobblers Direct to bring our family’s lifelong craft of cobbling (est. 1906) straight to the coziness of your own home—even if you live way out in the boondocks. ​ Using our service is a snap. Just order your repairs online, drop-ship your items using our pre-paid label (or send to us using any method you like!), and wait to be overjoyed upon their return. ​ You know that feeling of being reacquainted with a beloved old friend? Yeah, that’s the one you'll get when you choose to repair your shoes, boots, and handbags. ​ Are you ready to revive your favorites? Let’s do this! Austin, Texas "We’re from all over Texas, but Cobblers Direct put down roots in the capital city of Austin." “Keep Austin Weird” We’re not exactly sure why that’s our city’s motto, and yet, it makes so much sense. ​ Austin is known for live music, world-class BBQ, our giant village of bats, and of course, shoe repair. ​ You’ll be happy to know that while your favorite things are here with us, we’ll treat them to the best kolaches our city has to offer before they land happily back on your doorstep to enjoy again, as if it was the very first time you met. Sustainability "If you can believe it, nearly 1.5 million tons of waste is produced each year in the manufacture of new footwear, and that number doesn’t take into account the shoes being thrown in the trash." We need to break this cycle and reach back to the sage philosophy we learned from our depression-era grandparents—waste not, want not. ​ Cobblers Direct is on a mission to challenge all humans to buy well-made, eco-responsibly manufactured shoes and boots that can be repaired by skilled cobblers and worn for years upon years upon years upon ... you get the idea. ​ We hope you’ll share in our mission and choose repair over waste! Waste Not, Want Not. Few things are as destructive to animal life and our already overflowing landfills than new shoe and boot manufacturing. The massive amounts of leather, the rubber and plastic waste, the chemicals used in dyeing and processing—even the packaging and shipping—is all unnecessary misuse of resources we could (and should) be recycling and re-using. ​ Our society’s increased access to low cost goods naturally encourages us all to buy more and more. It’s become too easy to purchase cheap (and cheaply-made) shoes and boots that we’ll only use for a brief period of time before we swiftly toss them in the garbage when they start to look shabby or fall apart. Then what do we do? Buy more. More leather, more rubber, more chemicals. More and more waste.

The Anatomy of a Flat (Slippers, Flats, Sandals, etc) When our cobblers approach a flat, wedge, or sandal repair project, we focus on structural preservation. There are 5 primary areas of concern when we evaluate any damage:​ ​ The Upper is the top of the shoe. The shoe Insole is the part your foot actually sits on. The Heel Base lies in between the heel cap and the sole. The heel base is attached directly to the sole and serves as the foundation for the heel caps to attach to. The Sole and Heel Cap are the components of the flat that make contact with the ground, giving you the traction and support you need while walking. The majority of your wear and tear occurs here, and basic repairs can be maintained. However, if you wait too long and wear through these layers, you risk damaging the insole and/or upper, which will result in more extensive repair needs. Heel Cap Repair There are two different styles of heels on women's shoes. The first style are the thin high heels (similar to a high-heeled pump), and the second style are the larger - what are referred to as “flat” - heels. We can repair both styles of heels, but flat heels are most common when it comes to flats, slippers and sandals. ​ Rubber heel caps are in place to protect the base-end of the flat or wedge, and when the heel cap is worn down (or completely off!), it needs to be replaced stat. Replacing heel caps is actually the most common and simple shoe repair we complete. For flats, slippers and sandals heel repair, we’ll replace and install new, protective rubber heel caps in order to preserve the heel base shape and integrity. These rubber caps also provide extra comfort, durability, and traction. Send all your flats, wedges, and sandals in need of new heels to Cobblers Direct for repair, and we’ll make sure you can keep enjoying them for years and years to come. Watch Heel Repair Video Create Repair Order Sole Repair and Sole Protection Many women’s flats - especially designer brands - are made with delicately thin soles. These thin soles are gorgeous, but they can be problematic if you want to wear the flats outside of your bedroom! Inevitably, the soles will get worn down—and fast. If your sole gets worn or pulls apart, please don’t worry. We can repair those flats and wedges! Our cobblers will either re-glue the existing rubber or leather soles back down if they are still in good condition, or we'll completely replace your soles and get them back on your feet in no time. For all leather sole repairs, we will replace the soles using the finest quality leather in U.S. Before you wear a new pair of heels (or after light wear), we can install custom, ultrathin soles, called SolePros®, on top of the original leather or rubber sole. These soles are purposefully designed to be thin and stylish, come in many color choices (including mirrored red!), and do not take away from the cosmetic look of the fashion heel or pump. SolePros gives you 5 times the lifetime of the original sole, which means you can wear your flats out and about and not worry about sole wear for a really, really long time. As a bonus, they provide excellent traction and extra soft comfort while you’re walking! Watch SolePro Video Create Repair Order Shoe Stretching and Liner Replacement If your flats feel too tight, our cobblers can provide shoe stretching to give you some extra room! Leather flats and wedges can be stretched up to ½ size and are stretched in the width, which helps with length as it allows the toe portion of the foot to spread out, relieving pressure. Vinyl and fabric shoes can be stretched, too, just not always as easily as leather. We can also install a brand new leather sock liner - unwrinkled and fresh - inside your flats and wedges that will provide both extra comfort and a lovely, clean new smell. Additionally, we can replace the heel liner at the back of your shoe to ensure you have just the right amount of cushioning. up to 1/2 size Create Repair Order Shoe Shine, Cleaning & Refinishing We can beautifully shine, clean, and/or completely refinish your flat and wedge uppers whether they're leather, suede, nubuck, or any other fine finish. ​ Every repair order comes with a free professional shoe shine (a $9 value)! ​ Shoe Shine: A shoe shine consists of first cleaning off all the dirt, grime, and old polish, and then deep conditioning the leather until its buttery soft. Next, we hand rub a wax or cream polish to provide stain and color, and last, we buff the shoe to bring out the highest shine possible. The friction and heat we produce with rigorous buffing activates the shoe polish and produces a gorgeous sheen that makes your shoes look fresh and new. ​ Deep Clean & Refinish: If you want your shoes to look similar to the day you picked them off the shelves (or likewise, if they are made of suede, nubuck or fabric and can’t be “shined”), you’ll want what’s called a Deep Clean & Refinish. At the time new shoes and boots are manufactured, they receive a special custom finish that is applied at the very end of the process. This provides a beautiful long-term coating. When our cobblers complete a refinish on your shoes, we reapply the same gorgeous finish the shoe or boot had when it was made new. ​ For a full refinish, we first deep clean to remove any stains. Next, we’ll generously condition the shoe leather with pure lanolin (when needed), and then apply permanent color over worn and damaged areas. Lastly, we put on a new-shoe custom topcoat. ​ Suede and nubuck must be dry cleaned or finely sanded when cleaning to ensure dirt and stains can be removed. By using special suede-cleaning stones or our delicate sand-blasting booth, we remove the stains gently without harming the suede or nubuck. After cleaning, the suede or nubuck is lightly brushed and waterproofed for longer protection. ​ Voila! Your shoes are like-new, and this process outlasts a regular shoe shine up to 10 times. ​ ​ NOTE: There are some stains, creases, cracks, etc. that may not be able to be removed in this (or any!) repair or restoration process, but we'll always do our very best to make your shoes look as "new" as possible!

How to Shorten a Belt STEP 1: Put Your Belt On Put your belt on as you normally would wearing pants or shorts. Be sure to insert the belt buckle prong into the MIDDLE hole. Most belts have 5 holes, in which case you would insert the prong into the 3rd hole. STEP 2: Pinch Excess Length Tightly pinch the excess length of belt. Be sure to pinch closely to your waist to remove all excess length. This will ensure a correct fit. NOTE: just relax your body when doing this. Don't inhale and reduce the size of your waist, or you could risk removing too much length. STEP 3: Measure (one side only) Using a ruler, measure (in inches) ONE SIDE of the excess belt length. ​ In the example on the right, this would be 5 inches STEP 4: Double the Measurement Simply double the measurement to come up with the total length of belt you want to have removed. ​ In the example on the right, 5in + 5in = 10in. This belt will need to be shortened by 10 inches. STEP 5: Order Belt Repair Now that you have your measurements and know how much of your belt needs to be shortened, click below to place an order for Belt Repair. Choose "Yes" for Custom Repairs and in the "Describe Custom Repairs" section, enter "shorten belt by ... inches", specifying the length you calculated in Step 4. ​ In the example above, the customer would say "shorten belt by 10 inches" Start My Repairs
