A man of few words, an excellent craftsman. Great job on a tricky repair. Worth the trip from outlying towns.

The most talented boot maker or repair in the state if not the country

Cobblers like Dave are few and far between, sadly. He takes pride in his work, is honest and trustworthy and delivers an excellent product. Highly recommended

Never got to see the quality of his work. Took boots in to be re-soled after 8 months and six telephone calls I went and picked up the boots. I wish he just would have said he could not do them rather than saying," I'll get to them" or "I'll bring them in next". Work boots are all my husband wears and now he has two pairs that need re-soled rather than the normal rotation. Disappointed

A little hard to find and an old Rathdrum house/business with unbelievably treacherous/icy access but work was done quickly. Excellent communication but expensive repair in that I probably wouldn't have had it done if I had known the price (65% of the cost of the boots when I bought them) to have a zipper replaced.

How business used to be and should be. I read some Yelp reviews on Dave and his shop. They were spot on. Dave is an amazing old guy who does things right, what we now call the old fashioned way. He runs his business out of shop in his backyard. Stepping into that shop was like stepping back in time, in a great way. Not a piece of electronic technology to be found. An artist's studio. He is out of the way, but worth the find! I had pair of hunting boots that had a couple of broken stitches on one of them. Dave fixed the boot on the spot in 5 minutes for $5. Wow. It was so refreshing.I bought some leather conditioner product he recommended to boot. Ha! See what I did there? No doubt in my mind there is not a leather product or boot/shoe out there that he cannot work on.

What a great guy. He fixed my sandals he had a lot of really amazing old machines I felt like it was a lost art. He only charged me $5 so I gave him ten. his credit card machine was not working and I told him I could come pay him cash after I work because I am a server. I was prepared to leave my sandals there so he knew I would come back and he said don't worry about it, I really loved how in this world today he trusted me to come back to pay him. Which of course I did. I do want to warn anyone who is not prepared that this is a house and he does repairs in his shop. So be prepared to knock on a door and have a dog bark at you. He said walk-ins are always welcome.

As others have said, don't be put off by the condition of the buildings, location of his shop next to his house, or how old the guy is - he knows what he's doing! Great sandal repair, quick turn around, reasonably priced. Was willing to see me on a Saturday on short notice. Reminded me of my grandfather. Would definitely recommend!

Great job on the heal of my boot that decided to detach. Dave guarantees his work and the quality has not failed me. Do not let the fact that he operates out of a shop behind his house deter you. He is a nice, upstanding, quality craftsman. And my boot was finished ahead of the timeframe he gave me.
