Any good places around to have a rubber sole on a boot heel reglued, and heels replaced on nice cowboy boots?
Thanks in advance!

Place in Newcastle that I use. He's good. About midway down old main street (highway 62) on east side in a small old school strip mall.
Zeigler's Shoe Repair. It's in The Village, on Britton. It's been family owned and ran for over 40 years. Best shoe and boot work in Oklahoma. They can fix anything.
89th and Walker. South West corner.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll check them out. Little Joe's sends theirs back to the manufacturers. I contacted them earlier today to ask.
Times have changed, I guess. Used to be 2 guys, one pulling stitches and the other reassembling. Been a few years since I have taken boots in for soles. I have a pair of elephant that need some attention so I'll have to look up one of the others.
Thanks

I was raised in the shoe repair business literally teething, as a baby, on scraps of leather (skiving's). The business was started, owned, and operated by my mother, whom at one time, had received a nice write-up in an industry magazine (don't remember the name) about being the only female shoe repair owner/operator West of the Mississippi.
Just before my mother retired (about 1980) she tried her best to get me to take over the business, which I declined. I'm glad I did because it wasn't long before the 'art' of shoe repair almost went the way of dinosaurs due to the import of cheap fabric/rubber sport shoes that replaced leather ones. Only recently has leather shoe repair picked up a bit, but finding a shoe repair shop can still be difficult.
