Nicks shoe repair in Rockville Md. the very best out there hands down he’s done my boots for 50 yrs. Knows how to cut leathers soles lemon peg or brass tack them came do heals he’s done my custom boots. Best at Cowboy boots in the Delmarva everyone goes there. Price his craftsmanship is reasonable and he knows his stuff nice guy too.
Eugene's Shoe Repair on Coldspring Lane in Baltimore. Very reasonable $. He's kept my Merrell hiking boots and many other leather soled boots alive for decades.

Make sure that the cobbler is going to carefully remove the old sole and remove the old stitching, then using the original stitch holes hand stitch the new soles to the body of the boot.
I had a very expensive pair of wingtip dress shoes that needed re-soling, and took them to a shoe repair place on Market Street in Frederick. When I told the guy there what I wanted, he rather curtly told me that he didn't have the time to do it that way. I finally found a guy in Berryville, VA who did exactly what I wanted. That guy has retired, but there is an Asian guy in Winchester who takes a great deal of pride in his work, and does it the way it's supposed to be done. If you're interested, I'll find out who the guy in Winchester is and post it here. I don't know exactly where you are in Central MD, but Winchester may be closer to you than Annapolis.

I send my work boots back to Redwing, but I love to watch videos on boot repair on YouTube. Fascinates me, maybe in my next life I'll take it up.
