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.

Customer Reviews

a month 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.
-
a week 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:
-
4 weeks agoI emailed about 5 different shoe repairs in Portland and Jessica was the only one who took the time to respond to my questions. She was able to fix a broken zipper on a boot and even called to make sure I was ok with a type of zipper. My boots looks new! Excellent work
-
3 months agoJessica is amazing- she’s the best cobbler in Portland! My shoes look better and feel more comfortable than they did when I bought them. Derek’s is THE place to go for shoe repair.
-
3 months agoOne of the few repair places that can/will service designer bags and accessories. Jessica was super helpful and made great recommendations beyond the initial need that I had. Absolutely love this place!
