Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anybody know where I could get my Vans Encore boot repaired - no receipt as I bought off ebay. The bit that holds the boa lace at the top left side is sewn onto a leather part and it's tearing where the stitching is. I'm in the NortWest (Lancashire).
TIA

Take it to your local shoemender, they may be able to come up with something as it's just a material fix.
You may find this useful though, PDF's for the various BOA assemblies...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

lizardbush, no harm in also contacting vans direct and asking them if they'd repair it.
a quick search on their "dealer search" site gave me this email address for the uk: vans_ukorders@vfc.com
hth and good luck !

I had the same boots and exactly the same thing happened to my right boot. Unfortunately the whole lot had torn away from the leather before I got it looked at and they couldn't be fixed. You might have better luck if you've caught it early, but there wasn't a lot of material around there to reattach anything to.

You'll need to Register first of course.

thanks - this is my third pair & I usually wear them out before anything goes wrong like this. The shoe repairers can't do it and vans uk haven't replied (I'm gonna try again). I may try superglue...

lizardbush, Just a suggestion, but try a 2 part epoxy instead of Superglue as it can go very brittle particularly in the cold.

I used superglue on a pair of Vans Boa boots with a similar fault, worked fine for me (another 3 weeks riding out of them before replacing them)
