Box Spurs

[obelix]

I was wondering, Where in the Gagetown area, would a person get box spurs mounted on a pair of Chelsea boots?
I did find a place in Vancouver, but that is a wee bit far.

Thanks

There's a cobbler in downtown Fredericton that does them....the business name escapes me right now.

Is it in the kings place mall?

Or a little shop right down town?

 

[Franko]

It's near Kings Place...again, can't remember what it's called.

He does (or did) everything from double soling ankle boots with military heels and double clickers to boxes for spurs. I even think they re-soles boots. It's been a while since I got anything done by them, so they may have changed their services a bit.

Found it:

Cobbler's Bench
593 King St
Fredericton NB, E3B 1E8

Phone #: 506-458-9030

I may have him and another shop mixed up.        :-[

Thanks again

I got a pair done at one of these places while in Kingston.  The heals of my boots are falling apart now.  These places are not the greatest when it comes to cobbler's skills.  They are "hit or miss".

Andrei sells wellingtons and for some reason I think he sells the spurs as well.  Perhaps he knows where they can be assembled.

Failing that, maybe try Saint John:

Same one that CSG utilizes (via SO) to re-sole or vibram-sole boots at ... I don't recall getting any complaints about his work during my 3 years as IC there.

None of those photos show Spur Boxes, [Edit to add] just Box Spurs; but that is besides the point. 

The OP would like to know where to get his Spur Boxes put into the heals of his boots.  He probably bought the Spur Boxes at one of the Kit Shops.


[Edit to add]  I see there is some confusion as to what he wants.  I am ass u ming that he has the Box Spurs, and Spur Boxes, and would like to have the Spur Boxes put into the heels of his boots so that he can wear the Box Spurs.      ;D

Well, I guess that clears George up in all his confusion.  ;D

Too bad the art is lost out in NB

Does anyone know of a cobbler in Ottawa who knows how to mount spur boxes?  Thanks in advance for any pointers.
