Research notes

Run by Jon Breece with his son Elijah. The shop's footwear page offers re-gluing, repairing or replacing soles, fixing buckles and straps, and hand or machine stitching, nailing and stretching on leather or canvas. A local business directory lists boot sole replacement and drop-off/pick-up locations in Crossville and Cumberland County. Rated 4.9 from 18 Google reviews running through Nov 2025, which mention sole and heel replacement on three pairs of cowboy boots, Birkenstocks, a Johnston & Murphy heel, a boot zipper replaced in under two weeks, and a sandal strap fixed while the customer waited. One reviewer says the shop is backlogged (about six weeks for boot resoles). Directories disagree on the ZIP code (38572 vs 38555). No prices published.
