My last few experiences with Whites and Nicks led me to look elsewhere for work boot repair. I took a pair of Nicks in need of repair to the Shoe repair man in Wenatchee near Stans. Super good guy. Made my Nicks better then new. I took the rest of my Nicks/Whites work shoes into him not long after. This repair man has a TON of work, so its not a quick turn, but is a testament to is great work. May want to give him a try.
