High St. Shoe Repair is a small, traditional shoe repair shop located in Salem, Oregon. Through our website MyShoeman.com, we serve both local customers and people from across the United States who send their boots and shoes to us by mail.
Most of the work we do is not flashy. It is practical work — replacing worn soles, repairing heels, restoring favorite boots, or making adjustments that help someone walk more comfortably. But that kind of work matters. A good pair of shoes can last for years if they are cared for properly.
Experience that comes from years at the bench
Our lead cobbler, George, has spent decades working with shoes and boots of all kinds. Over time you develop an eye for how footwear is constructed, which materials hold up best, and what kinds of repairs will truly last.
Not every pair of shoes can be saved. But many more can be repaired than people realize — especially when the work is done carefully and with the right materials.
Over the years we have become known for certain specialty repairs, including resoling Blundstone boots, working on Redback and Rossi boots, repairing SAS shoes, and adding lifts to footwear for leg length discrepancies.
Why people mail their shoes to us
When we first started the website, we expected most of our work to come from local customers in Salem. Instead, we began hearing from people across the country who were trying to find someone willing to do certain repairs properly.
Many customers send us boots that they depend on every day — work boots, comfort shoes, or footwear that simply fits better than anything new they can buy. Once people find a repair shop they trust, they often keep coming back.
Old-fashioned values still matter
Shoe repair is a trade built on patience and attention to detail. It is not something that can be rushed. Our goal has always been the same: use good materials, do careful work, charge fair prices, and treat customers the way we would want to be treated.
That approach has served us well over the years, and we are grateful for the many customers who continue to trust us with their footwear.
