Prefer west side but will travel for quality work
I have a pair of luchesse's that I need completely re-soled heel'd

Any recommendations? Was going to send them back to luchesse but looking for something slightly cheaper and shorter time frame. I think lucch told me like 2 month turn around

DR shoe repair on the west side of Gessner just north of long point. The Korean owner doesn't speak English well, but he did an awesome job re-soling a pair of custom boots for me. Seemed like a fair deal too, $40 and they came back looking new.

I'm not opposed to spending since they were expensive boots as long as good work

I know Ryan Ricca of Ricca Boot Shop in Tomball. He's a great guy, grandson of the founder, and makes boots completely from scratch right on site.

Word is Jesse James once stayed a night in the upstairs room way back in the day.

I'm sure he can do a re-sole and so call him for a price. You might even like him and their story enough to order a new pair too for a great pair of custom boots and a cool story to tell about a classic, but unknown, local business.

I'm in for Great Western as well. Had probably a dozen boots done there, great work every time.

Haven't been in a while because it's just too far out of my way now. I went to Maida's The last few times, work is impeccable, price is high. At Great Western, I want to say it was $75. Maida's was about $120.

I want to say he charged me $150 or $175 last time...but I also went with a wider rear heel, so might have been more than normal.

I picked up my pair of Lucchese from Great Western Boots last week after seeing all the recs on here for them. Had full soles and heels done, and they look great. I'm very pleased with how they turned out, so I'll definitely be back there again.

Mine was just over a week, but that spanned NYD. I think I took them in on 12/27 and got the call that they were ready on 1/5. When I dropped them off, the guy behind the counter apologized that it was going to take longer because they were backed up. I asked him how long, expecting him to say 3+ weeks and he said 1 week, which they pretty much hit.

Dropped a pair of there yesterday for a re-sole and he said about a week turnaround.
