The smell of leather, glue, and polish and the sound of a quiet fan oscillating in the back of the store greet customers as they enter The Boot Doctor, the shoe repair shop of Matt Felke, a long time cowboy turned cobbler. Felke, as it turns out, is drawn to hands-on crafts that are fading into the past. Not only does he know his leather work, he’s an experienced farrier, having shod horses with his father from an early age.
