When we are all done it looks good as new, you'll hardly notice the small strip of matching leather we added down the sides of both boots to cover the zig zag stitching. We've had a lot of people give us positive feedback and tell us how happy they are to have boot tops that finally fit.
To send your boots to us to have your boot tops made narrower, just click the button below:

In this case, its best to write down the circumference of your leg at the widest part of your calf and tell how much you’d like taken out of each side of the boot. Most often we remove one inch out of each side. But everyone is different and every boot is different.

Hello Phil,
These are alterations we can do. If you'd like you can send us an email at [email protected] with a picture of the boots in question for a price estimate.
Hello. I have a pair of boots with a 13” shaft that I like to reduce by 4”. I need the shaft diameter also reduced by 1”each side. Wondering if you can add zippers?
Hello Caden,
Space around your calf in a cowboy boot depends entirely on your comfort. They shouldn't be tight. I'd say its normal to have about a half inch of space around your leg all the way around. And to be able to fit your hand down the shaft but perhaps not your fist.
As of Aug. 2020 the price for us to narrow boot tops is $75 per pair.
Hello, I just ordered a pair of boots but the top of the boot shaft is to big for my calf so much so that i can fit my hand in the gap when i wear them . what do you suggest is a good gap to have on a pair of cowboy boots and can i please have a general estimate on how much an alteration would be to decrease the calf of my boot
I just bought a new pair of boots I absolutely love them they look good from the front but not from the side they look very large.
Thanks for the question Yadriana, it depends on the job but turnaround time once we get them is roughly a week.
How long does it take for you to send a pair boots back?
You're more than welcome to send them to us. You can fill out a repair sheet here: https://www.bootnshoe.com/service/repair-form/ write down the circumference of your leg at the widest part of your calf and tell how much you’d like taken out of each side of the boot. Put the paper in a box with the boots you'd like altered when you ship them to us. Once we finish we call you for payment and ship them back to you.
