At Derek’s we offer two types of orthopedic lift designs. First, with a Lift on Top, we will add the lift to the outermost layer of the existing sole.
The second orthopedic lift design is an Integrated Lift, where we separate the existing sole material and insert the lift in between.
Please call the shop or stop by with the shoe you want augmented for more information.

a month agoJessica is awesome! I don't know anything about any of the other Cobblers in town but I can tell you that there is no need to even look. Jessica's work is top notch and always done when she tells you they will be. She will always have my business!

a month agoJessica and her crew are amazing! She saved several pairs of shoes with worn down heals and worked magic on them. Highly recommend.
-
5 months agoWalked in Sat after lunch to get sole protectors on my lucchese boots. Jessica was awesome....she was just about closing the shop but stayed back and put on a nice set of protectors on my leather soles. This place was recommended to me by my boot makers and it stacked up to all 5 stars.
-
4 months agoOMG! They brought my boots back from the dead. My soles had fallen off. Now, they look and feel fantastic. So much better than buying a new pair. Jessica is amazing! Check these out:
