Keeping your Boots in Good Condition
It has been said that an army marches on its stomach. In other words it is the ability to access a supply train of provisions that enables an army to advance on unfriendly territory. While this may be true, an army also marches on its feet, more specifically feet covered and protected by boots.
Because soldiers do so much marching, boots wear out. Soles become worn, the uppers become scratched and torn. Eyelets get torn out or torn off. When these things happen the soldier can get a new pair and start breaking them in all over again. That usually means a week or more of sore feet. Another option can help you avoid the break in period and avoid the sore feet. That option is boot repair.
NuSHoe.com is authorized by Infantry Combat Equipment (ICE), Quantico for repair and renewal of U.S. Marine Corps boots. NuSHoe uses Vibram soles that meet or exceed military requirements for both the Marine Corps and the Navy. For Marine Corps renewals, Nushoe offers the following services: Replace Vibram sole, restitching as necessary, replace eyelets, speed hooks and any other missing hardware, replace worn insoles, clean, polish, deodorize, and even send them back with brand new laces. Look athe before and after pictures of renewed military boots at the NuShoe.com website to see just how completely they can restore your boots. All of this is done for a single flat fee of just $50. Remember, if your boots have polyurethane cushion midsoles (which they do if they are regulation) then your local cobbler can’t properly resole them, but NuShoe can.
NuShoe can even go a step further with Navy Flight Boots. For Belleville models SST 330 and 330 DES ST, NuSHoe can offer an upgrade sole that provides improved traction over the original boot sole. The replacement Vibram Chevron Sole not only meets military requirements, but gives you better traction than the originals. This replacement/ upgrade is available for just $50 including shipping both ways.
Even after you leave the service, you can continue to get your familiar military boots repaired and renewed with NuShoe. NuSHoe doesn’t only renew military boots, though. They also provide complete renewal services for many of the top brand leather shoes and work boots from the civilian world as well. They can provide complete renewal service for many brands including Chippewa, Florsheim, Finn Comfort, Dr. Martens, Bostonian, Ecco, Clarks, H.S. Trask, Birkenstocks, and many others. Each gets the same high quality service that has won NuShoe approval from Quantico for U.S. Marine Corps boot repair and renewal service.
NuShoe performs all these services by mail. Simply fill out the online request and you’ll receive a prepaid mailing pouch within a few days. Drop you boots in the pouch with the repair request form, and mail them back to NuShoe. They’ll arrive back in the mail, completely renewed and repaired to your specifications. The whole process takes just two to three weeks.
