I just wanted to say an enormous thank…

I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for recently repairing my beloved old Dubarry Galway boots for me. I burst into tears of joy when I opened the box, as I actually couldn’t believe my eyes. They were sent away in such a dreadful state, with the soles hanging off, and the footbeds crumbling away, that I thought they were really only fit for the bin. I actually never truly believed that they could be salvaged. And yet, here they were, looking literally as good as new. And bless you, they had even been given a clean!
These old boots have been on so many adventures with me, and they have been such faithful old friends over the years. They were irreplaceable in my eyes, as I personally feel that the former high quality of these boots is now no longer a feature, so buying a new replacement pair was never an option.
Thank you so much!

New life to old shoes

From the initial email enquiry and placing my order, to receiving my shoes back with new soles, a first class service. I placed my order, used the Royal Mail label provided and sent my 1461 shoes off for new soles. 7 days later I received an email to say they were complete and had been despatched, they arrived the next morning. A first class repair to an old faithful pair of shoes by a first class company, thank you!

So easy and professional communication

Everything was so easy. I followed the step by step instructions and when I had a question and got in touch with the team, the response was prompt and professional.

I had a 10+ year old pair of Scarpa walking boots which started to let water in and the soles were degrading so sent them in and despite needing to pay a little extra for extra work required, the boots were returned to me with immaculate and sturdy new soles. My boots have many years left in them now. Would much rather pay £100 or so to get new soles than pay over £300 for new boots so thank you so much to the Boot Repair Co. Will be sending my Docs in soon!

Great Customer Service and Quality of Repair

I have a pair of Red Wing Beckham boots whose soles were in desperate need of replacing. I live in Argentina and brought them back to the UK this winter. I chose The Boot Repair Company after reading about the positive reviews and being a recognised Red Wing repair service. After an initial issue that was sorted out by Rachelle in a very professional manner I was delighted with the quality of the work. Thanks to all concerned for the professional service.

We can't believe you brought your Red Wings all the way from Argentina, but we are so grateful! We hope it was worth the trip for both you and your boots! Thanks for the review Alan.

DM's that sorely need new soles.

With two pairs of DM's that sorely needed new soles and rewelting I turned to the Boot Repair Company - as recommended by Dr. Martens. I'm glad I did as the quality of the repaired boots are as if they were a new pair.
The price was reasonable, considering the price of a new pair of DM's. The shipping process straightforward, and turnaround surprisingly quick.
I haven't tried their non DM service yet but I'm sure it will be just as good.
Will recommend.

What a great company to deal with

What a great company to deal with. I sent my Dubarry coat to them to be repaired as it had a tear on the front pocket. 2 days after they received it I had an email to say it had been repaired and was being dispatched via UPS. I was so impressed at the quick turnaround, however once UPS got hold of it that’s when things started to go wrong. UPS emailed me to say they had received it and said it would be out for delivery the next day, 2 minutes after the 1st email I got another email to say it had been delayed and would be the following day I.e. Friday. Nothing arrived on the Friday and then UPS went quiet, no information at all. In the Monday I contacted Rochelle at the Boot Repair company and she raised a complaint with UPS. After over a week UPS admitted to losing the parcel, during this time Rochelle kept me fully informed about what was going on. Rochelle informed me on the 21st January that they would replace the jacket, sure enough this morning 22nd January I received a brand new replacement jacket. I cannot thank Rochelle enough for her help in this matter, what a star she has been, she is a credit to your company.

My 30 year old Docs think they've been to Turkey for cosmetic surgery

They look great. Brand new soles and super yellow stitching.

Posted... repaired and back to me in 8 days.

Thank you so much. And thanks for the note. 🤩

Wonderfully resoled and leather brought to life

I sent my boots via post to The BRC, they were in a decent condition to begin with but the soles needed replacing. They replaced the soles, worked their magic with the leather and sent them back within 10 days or so, they look brand new and wonderful now. Will definitely be using them in the future for my other boots, thanks for a great service.

Very best expertise

I first used this company to resole/heel and stitch my DM’s. The great price, ease and efficiency was outstanding. My boots were returned in under a week. Then my 14 yr old Russell & Bromley boots came apart, so I sent a photo. No problem. I sent them back, requested top service as the boots are worth it, and they came back as new. Once again, I’m delighted. I will definitely make this my go to company for any future repairs. No more landfill for my boots or shoes.

Revived my paint encrusted work boots

I sent in a pair of Dr Marten boots that I had painted in everyday for 7 years. They were covered in hundreds of paint layers. Had no grips left on the sole and heel, and one of the ankle loops had dropped off. The Boot Repair Company did a fantastic job. The boots were completely transformed - new ankle loops, rewelted with red stitching, resoled and most importantly - some, but not all, of the paint taken off to reveal some of the nicest colours I’d ever spilled! They managed to keep the character that I love about my work boots while also totally overhauling them. Extremely pleased and worth every penny. They also threw in two pairs of lovely laces in different colour ways. I can tell they did the job with pride and care Love these guys!

Fantastic repair

I was gutted when the soles of my barely used Dubarry boots crumbled and split open. I've just had them back and the new soles are so much more robust. They've done a fabulous job. I highly recommend them

Sent my 40-year-old vintage 20 eyelet Doc Marten boots to be resoled and a few extra repairs. 100% satisfied with the interaction with the support team (Tom) and the quality of the repairs. Should last another 40 years!! For Doc Marten repairs I would give them 6 stars if possible.

Phenomenal service

I sent back some Jadon Dr Martens for a sole replacement. As it was mid-December, I contacted customer service to check they were still able to accept them this side of Christmas and Tom was very helpful explaining turnaround times right off the bat. They arrived 17th December and I expected not to get them back until the New Year. Then they arrived back today on Christmas Eve! Absolutely amazing workmanship, the new soles look and feel amazing and the boots have been polished too. Cannot fault the Boots Repair company at all, from start to finish I have been impressed. Thank you so much team, I will definitely be using again if I have any more boots that need some TLC 😊

Edit: just found some free laces tucked inside one of the boots - I wish I could give 6 stars!
