Why you should get a Red Wing boot repair
Red Wing have been producing fine leather footwear with an unyielding commitment to traditional craftsmanship for more than a century. The process of manufacturing a pair of Red Wings involves more than 230 steps. From the careful selection of premium leathers by experts to the stitching of soles on century-old Puritan machinery, each of these steps is meticulously carried out to produce a truly premium product.
It is no surprise then that Red Wing boots have a reputation for standing the test of time, spending decades on our feet. However, Red Wing boots are far from invincible. The outer soles wear away, and the inner lining and insoles start to deteriorate due to moisture and continual pressure from the wearer's feet. Even the leather uppers will gradually begin creasing, cracking and losing their lustre and colour.
If your Red Wing boots are worn or otherwise damaged, there is no need to send them to landfill or the back of your closet. Our Red Wing boot repair service can bring your boots back to life — and that is worth it, because the only thing better than a fresh pair of Red Wings is a newly restored one.
Why you should use SoleHeeled for your Red Wing repair
Gone are the days of having to travel around, and back and forth, to find and deal with a cobbler you can trust — or worse, giving up on your boots because there are just no properly experienced cobblers nearby. We are making it easier than ever to get a Red Wing shoe repair by craftsmen you can trust, no matter where you are in Australia.
Deeply experienced craftsmen
We have been in the business of boot repairs and restorations for more than 60 years. Over that time, we have developed a level of experience and know-how that others simply cannot match. This allows us to not only achieve unrivalled levels of quality but also perform a comprehensive range of Red Wing repair services — everything from a straightforward Red Wing resole to a careful restoration of leather uppers.
Easy as visiting your local post office
We understand that finding a Red Wing boot repair near you can be a real pain. We built SoleHeeled to solve that very problem — by making the process of getting a repair as easy as completing an online order and then dropping off your boots at a local Australia Post office.
Remarkable customer service
We service thousands of customers each year, many of whom are trusting us with their items for the first time. We recognise that the trust these customers show us is invaluable, and earning that trust through our work and customer service is central to how we run our third generation family business.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's all very quick and easy — promise!
- Complete our online order form, where you'll be able to upload photos and describe the work you'd like done to the boots. You'll get an instant quote based on your selection and then choose to either proceed with an order or request a custom quote.
- Once we've reviewed your order, we'll email you instructions for getting your Red Wing boots to us. If you live in Sydney, you'll have the option to drop the boots off at our workshop. Otherwise, you'll be able to drop them off at a local Australia Post office, where they'll be packaged and shipped over to us for free.
- Once we receive your boots, we'll repair and return them to you by courier.
The time it takes to complete a Red Wing boot repair depends on the work required and the workload in the workshop when the boots are received.
We are generally able to complete basic repairs on Red Wing boots within 2-5 business days of receiving them at the workshop. This extends to 1-2 weeks for most specialist repairs and longer for more complex repairs and restorations.
If you will be using our free shipping service (rather than dropping off and picking up your boots at the workshop), then you should also factor in shipping time via Australia Post. This varies depending on your location, but generally takes no more than a few business days if you're in a metropolitan area and otherwise up to 5 business days (if you're in a regional or remote area).
We use only the highest quality materials, including premium leathers, soles and heel tips — including soles and heel tips made especially for Red Wing boots.
Yes, we stock a wide range of premium leather care products you can use to extend the life of your Red Wing boots. We'd be happy to ship these to you. Simply mention what you're looking for while completing our online order form (if you're also planning to get your boots repaired), or reach out (if you're not planning to get your boots repaired).
Once you submit your online order form, you'll be given a token that allows you to track everything online, throughout the process of getting your Red Wing boots repaired.
And whenever your boots are in transit (whether on their way to our workshop via Australia Post or on the way back to you via courier), you'll have a parcel tracking number and receive real-time shipping notifications by email.
Yes, you can drop off and pick up your boots at our workshop in Martin Place, Sydney provided that:
- You first complete your order online;
- You let us know (in the order form or by follow up email) that you'd like to drop off and/or pick up at the workshop; and
- We have emailed you a ticket that you'll need to print out and hand over at the workshop for ID and proof of payment.
