Shoe Shop and Repair in Western NC

We are Western North Carolina’s last cobbler shop. 

We believe that by repairing old soles, we will empower many people to explore new paths on the roads ahead.

Our vision is to build a solid company that will serve local and surrounding areas with quality products and excellent service.

Our mission is to excel in our trade and keep this craft alive in our area for many years to come.

Our mission is to continue a rare trade, to maintain traditional methods of repair and restoration. To give new life to shoes, boots, and other leather products. 

Our group of artisans, armed with 19th century tools and an understanding of timeless materials, work daily to give new life to old friends. 

Life as a cobbler: carrying on the age old tradition of shoe, leather, and tack repair. As the last cobbler shop in Western North Carolina we are investing in the people we serve and in saving an old trade.
