Wayne's Shoe Repair & Boot — Local services in Denison

I came in looking for a pair of boots, hoping to support our local main street shops. The boots that I purchased for $178 began to peel within a couple hours of wearing them, and underneath the thin layer of leather was blue chrome tanned leather. These boots will be destroyed after a week of normal wear. I went back to Wayn'es the morning after purchasingthem, and the owner wouldn't allow a refund because there was some scuffing on the underside of the leather soles (which I suppose is understandable). I'm not trying to knock the owners, and they may be great at repairing boots. However, if you are looking to buy new quality leather boots, I would go to an actual western wear company like Tener's Sherman. I believe all of the boots that Wayne's stocks are no name boots made somewhere in Mexico. After this whole mess, I went on amazon and found the exact same boots listed for $109 :/.

Let me tell you all I have dealt with master craftsmen in New Mexico, Colorado, it is getting impossible to find a multi-talented leather worker , stitching individual as most of them are dying off , or cannot compete with mass production.

To my fellow bikers, go see him , he did a BEAUTIFUL job on...

My son took his converse work boots down here a 45 minute drive, told the gentleman that the zipper had broke and that they needed new black zippers, no problem he says, he made him wait 2 weeks and then said the day before because we were down in the area that they would be ready when he said they would be ready which was today. Yes they were ready, cant tell me they werent ready late yesterday but what ever, my son picked them up and was charged 53 dollars for gold zippers. And now he has an expensive 240.00 pair of shoes he can no longer wear for work because his uniform has to be black on black. We were very explicit about the black. Will never use this...
