Shoe & Boot Repair in Bowling Green, KY

Bowling Green, home of Western Kentucky University, has one cobbler: Eddie Lemay's Quality Shoe Repair on Scottsville Rd, which local news calls the last shoe repairman in the area. He handles resoles, heels, boot zippers, belts and bags, but he works alone, so expect a wait of several weeks. Local shoe stores sell boots but don't list repair service. For factory resoles, see the mail-in options below.
