In September, 2007 I saw several reviews about "Dave Page, Cobbler" and decided to send my Vasque Montana mountaineering boots to be re-soled. They had gone through 18 years of fairly hard use and the soles were in horrible condition. The upper leather was still in very good shape and you just can't buy new boots that are made with this same quality, particularly those made using Norwegian welt construction. I called Mr. Page and he explained that it would take four weeks from the time he received the boots. So, I UPS'd them from South Carolina and got an email that the boots were received. Four weeks later, they were returned. Brand new Vibrum soles and mid-soles stitched on. Boots were cleaned and oiled and better than new because they were broken in to my feet and ready for the next trip. The repair cost me $89; I would have spent two or three times that to get my boots back into shape. Dave Page, Cobbler is a soft-spoken, customer-oriented craftsman whose shop works miracles. But remember, quality repairs take time and you have to accept that. Bottomline - I am extremely happy with my dealings with Dave Page, Cobbler and fully recommend him .

I have had such a horrible upsetting experience with Dave Page himself, that i am feeling compelled to sign up for City Search and write a review. Do not go to this cobbler. He is an old bitter angry man and he has no respect for his customer. I brought in a pair of $150 shoes that had plastic jewels at the front. One of hte jewels had come loose and i asked if they could super glue it back on. They said they could...a simple job, but it would take a week. However the super glue burned through the plastic jewel and ruined it. It looks ridiculous now. I explained to Dave Page that i was really disappointed, as the shoes had cost me so much money. I also explained that i understood it was a simple mistake and they weren't to know that it would burn through the plastic, but i was visibly upset. These are my favorite shoes. Then he said to me 'do me a favor, never come back here, i never want to see you again'. I was stunned. Needless to say i won't be going back.
