Shoe & Boot Repair in Morgantown, WV

Morgantown, home of West Virginia University, has one repair shop locals keep recommending: Tanner's Alley Leather on High Street downtown, which posts a full price list (heels from $25, rubber half soles and heels $92, full leather soles and heels $155) and quotes about a one-week turnaround. The Cobbler's Bench on Burroughs Street is still listed, but its status is unclear, so call before you go. There's no Red Wing store in town; for factory resoles, see the mail-in options below.
