Repairing Boot Pulls On Dressage Tall Boots

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

The boot pulls on my girlfriend's dressage tall boots have both failed, and she's hoping to get them repaired.

Any chance any of the bootmakers here could tell me how it would be properly done?

The original pulls were stitched only to the lining leather, and so replacing the whole pull seems like a huge job. She got a quote from a local person who said that he'd have to stitch all the way through the outside layer to fix them since this isn't machine accessible, and she doesn't like that thought at all due to the aesthetics.

Her other option was to put zippers in the back (what she'd originally wanted when she ordered these), but that sounds like major surgery as well.

My only thought was that it might be possible to hand stitch something to the remnant tab, but my skills are limited to saddle stitching larger items.

Thoughts? I'm going to take them to another place in town that deals with military dress boots and such, since they might have someone who can help.

Thanks folks!

Adam
