Our Story & Legacy

Three generations of Kentucky craftsmanship, preserving the art of fine boot and shoe repair while embracing modern techniques.

Where It All Began

In 1962, our founder Martin Wright opened a small leather repair shop in downtown Stanton, Kentucky. What started as a modest operation to serve hardworking families and farmers has evolved into the region's most trusted footwear care establishment.

Martin understood that shoes carry stories - from the Sunday best that served three generations to the work boots that supported countless families. This philosophy of treating every pair with respect and care remains at the heart of everything we do today.
