Boot repair?

[chrisjpainter]

The top lace hook has just snapped off my chainsaw boots. I've had a quick look online and can't find anything about repair potential. Is it possible to get the hook replaced? annoyingly, the rivet's well attached, it's just the hook that's snapped away.

Yes repair is possible, its just finding someone to do it. We sent a pair of boots to LSR for resole in May, still waiting for them to be returned, we were told it would be a whilst though.

I've used this place before but there may be a similar outfit nearer to you.

Ah excellent. I've used them for outdoor kit, but I wasn't sure if there was anything technical that had to be done with them given they're chainsaw boots and not just standard walking boots

The last I heard they were not accepting new repairs in until they clear the backlog.

Yup. A new statement is expected on the 5th November, but until then, no more new work is being taken.

Dickinson's in Byker, Newcastle might be another option. They have resoled boots for me before, may be able to do that.

 

Edit resoled not resolved. Not sure how you'd resolve a boot.

I’ve had Hiax fasteners replaced in the past, inexpensive. Any firm that does repairs on hiking boots should be able to replace the fastener.
