Services
At Palace Shoe Repair in Rockford, IL we have a quick turnaround on our Red Wing and Thorogood Work Boots. For those who are close to our work boot repair shop in down town Rockford please bring your Red Wing Boots in. If you have Red Wing work boots, it only takes us a few days to turn around and get them back into the mail for you.
We sell the US American Made Thorogood Work Boots at our down town Rockford location. The reason I like selling them is because if the bottom fall off I can put new bottoms on them here at my shop. All the leather is beautifull, made to last, and of the highest quality. We don't send our work boots out to anybody for repairs.
Replacing the heels and soles on your worn shoes or boots is the best way to save money. Cheap plastic shoes should be thrown away after use. Good quality leather boots or shoes should always have the soles and heels replaced when needed. Not only do you have a safe and comfortable shoe, you will save money in the process.
It's that time of year again: shoe and boot buying season. There are all types and styles to choose from, but finding the best fitting shoes or boots requires some thought. While you're deciding, think of where you will be wearing them and for how many hours each day. What might look great on you may not be so practical when you're running to and from your 9 to 5 job.
The marketplace has plenty of producers manufacturing work boots with the current and biggest additions to safe work boots. Knowing exactly what you require and understanding the kind of work boots that will assist you to find exactly what boot works for you. After all, comfortable feet make the work day simpler.

Heads up, the owner said they stop taking orders starting today March 8, 2021. He said it was time to close in a month but finishing up previous orders. I missed out but it was very nice of him regardless.

Still the great business it was when I went with my dad in the 60's. Drove a friend down who needed something fixed. Did a quick repair job, excellent work, very fair price! Check them out and don't throw out those worn shoes and boots!

Just got a pair of Red Wing chukka boots I've owned for 5 years resoled by Palace Shoe Repair. They came out looking brand new. I will be able to keep these boots for five more years, if not more, thanks to the quality work they do here.

I needed a pair of sandals repaired that broke after two wearings. I went to a few places in the area and they all told me that they couldn't help me. When I walked in, with my amateur suggestion, they recommended a better solution and took care of it while I waited. The owners told me that if the solution didn't work, that they would try something else. I have found a great shoe repair shop.

Palace Shoe Repair has been doing the build-up on my Dad's shoes since 1961. Their work is impeccable. We have NEVER had any issues or problems with their work. They have adapted with the times, but never compromised quality. The customer service has been consistent and predictable through our long history.

Amazing in quality, speed, price, and customer service. I dropped off a pair of dress shoes to be reheeled and they had them done for me the next day, not to mention a complimentary polish, burnish, and liner gluing. It's truly amazing to have a shop like this around still. Highly recommended.

It's very hard to find good boots that fit my feet, as I have very small feet. These guys went out of there way to measure and order me a nice pair. And they do in house repairs on a lot of different shoes.

Recommend by a friend this establishment did not disappoint. They repaired my broken eyelet on my snowboard boot with ease and it cost a lot less than buying new boots. I definitely recommend them for repairs on footwear.

I took a pair of boots in for repair. I love these boots and wear them so much I wore a hole in the sole. The service and workmanship at Palace Shoe Repair is outstanding! The new soles and heels are better than the original. Work was completed in just a few days. I couldn't be happier to have my favorite boots back!

Good staff, quick turn around/good prices and local business -I like these things. Most of my shoes cost upwards of 400 bucks each and they did them solid so these guys get my recommendation.

A pair of my expensive, knee-length, high heeled leather boots ($300+) were in need of repair and the folks here did exactly just that. I called first to make sure they can repair leather soles and then brought in the boots for a quote. For just $40, they repaired the soles of my boots, patched up all the scratches, and polished the leather. In less than 3 days, my boots were ready and they look new again!

This was my first time going to a shoe repair store, so I didn't know what to expect, but they sure set the bar high! The customer service here is superb. I can definitely see myself returning

A fabric eyelet ripped out of an expensive Merrill boot. It was impossible to get a snug fit. Three other eyelets also looked like they'd rip out soon. The boots were practically new. I went to Yelp and found the Palace Shoe Service, drove 35 miles to the store, and actually didn't think this problem could be fixed, because it was unusual. Well, Dave said it was no problem, riveted in four metal eyelets, and the boots were saved. I recommend this place because everybody was very nice, they did the job, and the price was right.

Palace Shoe Service...the best service ever! Reasonably priced, very timely with the repairs and nice, informative people! Something that is a rarity now a days. I'd rather spend a little for quality shoe repair than spend a lot on new shoes. This is a great place!

Palace Shoe Repair does excellent work and has done for years. I've had shoes repaired all over the U.S. and Palace is where you need to stop whenever you want something done right. This is an honest, family owned business - no glitz or glamor - just excellent craftsmanship on a daily basis.

I dropped off a pair of my Allen Edmonds dress shoes for new soles and heels last week when I was in town visiting family. I had never done business with Palace Shoe Repair before but was impressed with the exceptionally high reviews from other customers. I was totally impressed with the friendliness of the owners and the incredible quality of their work. I now have a pair of shoes that look like brand new for under $75. I would highly recommend their work to anyone. Despite the fact that I live in North Carolina I will definitely be back.

Palace Shoe Repair has done great repair work on shoes and boots of mine through the years; their work has been inexpensive, high-quality, and fast! A family-owned and run business for a few generations, there are few who still do this type of work in Rockford (and even fewer who can do it as well as Palace does). Whether your soles need a quick fix, a polish, or if you need to find "that odd-colored polish you cannot find anywhere," Palace Shoe Repair exceeds your expectations.

While you are there, don't forget to check out their selection of new shoes and shoe-accessories while
