Hi, I’m Jim McFarland

I’ve spent a lifetime restoring, repairing, and polishing shoes from work boots to fine leather dress shoes. Over the decades, I’ve learned what really works and what doesn’t when it comes to caring for quality footwear.

Now, through America’s Cobbler, I’m sharing that expertise with you. Every cleaner, polish, and conditioner we make is designed to make shoe care simple, effective, and professional-grade.

Whether you’re maintaining your favorite sneakers or reviving a pair of heirloom oxfords, my goal is to help you get results that last without needing a cobbler’s bench or decades of experience.
