That's a good question. Years ago, this was done in the shoe stores, usually when you bought shoes. Try to find a real, old-fashioned shoe store. There aren't many left, but they're out there. Good luck finding one.

Just had 1 pair of shoes stretched… Awesome job! The stretching cost $10... Might be a little drive for you, but I highly recommend!

There's a really good place I went to up in Mooresville... can't remember the name, but just Google it, they are right in the main town area.

I trusted them to stretch the calves of my pair of really nice leather boots and they did a fabulous job!

There is a good, old-fashioned shoe repair place that I think is reasonable and closer than Lee Shoe Repair in Rock Hill (which is also good: I like Lee shoe repair in Pineville (6648 Carmel Road) (704-542-7463). Not only were they able to expertly stretch shoes, but they're the only place I could find which would stretch the full shanks of boots.

I do agree that a good cobbler is hard to find--there are not as many down here as there were in the north, where I'm from--they're more common there. But Lee in Pineville is excellent and reasonable.

I suppose that this was directed at me. I was referring to non-chain full-service shoe stores. Sorry that you felt that way about my post. I went 3/4 of the way through the shoe store listing for Charlotte before making that post, looking for a store like what I know gives the service & either found nothing or the stores didn't have a website to verify, as I would not want to give bad information. I will not post to any of your questions in the future.
