How mail-in repair works

Full details

  1. Tell us about the pair

    Fill in the online form: what you are sending and what needs doing. No printer needed.

  2. Box it and ship it

    Send the pair to the shop with USPS, UPS or FedEx. Put your name, address and phone number in the box. What to put in the box

  3. Get your estimate

    The shop inspects the pair and contacts you by call, e-mail or text with a price. Nothing starts until you say yes.

  4. Repaired and returned

    The work is done by hand and your pair is shipped back, by USPS unless you ask for another carrier.

You pay only after the estimate. No card details online. The shop calls for payment once you have approved the price; PayPal and checks are welcome too.

Tulsa shoe rebuilders went over and above expectations on fixing my boots. Someone else had messed them up and tulsa fixed their mess. I can only wander how good they would be if they had done it in the first place. I will never let anyone else but tulsa work on my boots.

The shop’s story · Since 1928

Nearly a century at the bench

Tulsa Shoe Rebuilders has been mending the city’s boots and shoes since 1928, first from downtown and now from South Mingo Road.

For more than three decades the shop belonged to Otis C. and Ida Kemp, who built its name in Tulsa and across the country. Today its cobblers average well over 30 years at the bench, and pairs arrive by mail from all over the US and Canada. Read the whole story, year by year.
