Superior Craftsmanship! Shoe Tech Shoe Repair did such an outstanding job resoling my deteriorating orthopedic footwear, roughly two years ago, I turned to Mike again for customization work. After having my feet surgically reconstructed by the podiatrist at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Wilmington, Delaware, my feet were able to fit into normal footwear once again. Unfortunately, logger style boots do not come in six inch height (for good reason), so I purchased two pair of moc-toe wedge sole boots in six inch height with WELT constructed soles (cement attached soles are not re-craftable). I took the boots to Mike to have the wedge soles replaced with logger soles. He said it was no problem as long as the boots were crafted with WELT construction rather than cement construction, which they were. When I picked up my resoled boots, they were absolutely AMAZING. Mike's craftsmanship and professionalism are unmatched. You can see for yourself with the pictures provided below. The first pair is wedge sole by Die Hard replaced with logger soles in the second picture. The other pair is Carolina wedge sole replaced with logger soles in the fourth picture. I am eternally grateful to Mike and his superior craftsmanship at competitive prices and know where to take my damaged footwear to be repaired to better than new. Also, I know where to take WELT constructed boots to be re-crafted to my needs/preferences. Enthusiastically recommended!
