One of the Very few places to get a single garment embroidered. The people at the desk were very helpful. I may comment more after my sweatshirt is decorated.

Took a leather belt to have the stitching redone. Not all of the loose stitching was replaced and the stitching that they did replace is already coming loose.

Have you ever heard of Risk Shoes in Sherman, Texas? My husband and I think it is the BEST Shoe Repair Shop we've ever been to and we just recently picked up our shoes from there. His shoes had been taken to another repair shop (a closer one,) where they not only were they late getting them back to us, but didn't do the work he'd asked them to do and they were already falling apart. We decided to look elsewhere and although it's almost a two hour drive (between 1 1/2 and 2,) it was WELL WORTH the drive! As you can see, at Risk's Shoe Shop they half-soled by sewing

I had heels replaced on 3 pairs of boots. They did a great job on the repairs but the owner Naif took the time to explain why my heels had that type of wear and how a different style of heel would work better for me in the future.

These guys are top notch when it comes to boot repair. You can throw anything at these guys and they will make it better. They also sell high quality boots and shoes.
