RED WING boots

Bolton Bros offer a RED WING boots repair service, ensuring that they can last for years, even decades, with proper care and maintenance

General boots

We can repair and make adaptions to your existing footwear. This can prelong the life and help keep existing footwear comfortable and usable.

Sports boots

All footwear needs to be comfortable, especially during sport. We can repair and adapt your new or existing sports wear to your exact requirements. This can be anything from football, rugby boots, leather ski boots, ice skates to golf shoes.

Chainsaw boots

Chainsaw boots are used in extreme situations, and can be subject to some exteme wear and tear. They spend the majority of their life wet and working hard. So some repairs and adaptions can bring them back to life.

Hiking boots

Any walker or hiker will know that a new pair of hiking boots can take some time to break in and become comfortable. So if we can prelong the life of our existing boots with some repairs and adaptions it can't be bad, allowing a further few years of wear.
