About Us

Our story

Made to walk the miles — and built to come home to.

Charlie’s Bootery is a Clinton, New Jersey shoe shop that folks have trusted for expert repair and honest fitting — the kind of place that brings life back into a favorite pair of boots. Today we bring that same care online, with quality footwear, everyday apparel and solid wood furniture made to order.

Main Street shoe shop with wooden shelves of leather boots and a cobbler's workbench

Rooted on Main Street

From our shop at 40 Main St in Clinton, we’ve spent years re-soling, widening and restoring shoes our customers thought were done for. That hands-on know-how guides everything we sell: we look at how a sole is attached, how leather is finished and how a garment is sewn before it earns a place in the shop.

That same instinct is why we added furniture. A shop full of boots needs benches, shelves and racks that can take daily use — and the pieces that held up best were always solid hardwood. So we built a second aisle around them.

Two aisles, one standard

Footwear & everyday apparel

Boots, clogs, sandals and sneakers, plus dresses, knits, coats, denim and trousers chosen to hold up to real wear.

Solid wood furniture

Live-edge dining tables and desks, media consoles and TV stands, bookshelves, benches and carved wall pieces in walnut, oak, acacia and suar — no veneer, no particle board.

The Charlie’s promise

Built to last

Footwear with soles worth repairing, clothes with honest fabrics and furniture cut from solid hardwood.

Honest fit

Clear sizes, fit notes and real dimensions on every product — and a person who answers when you ask.

Fair & simple

Flat $4.95 shipping, free over $75, 30-day returns on apparel and footwear, free delivery on every wood piece.

How our wood furniture is made

Each table, console and shelf is built after you order it. Slabs are selected for grain and stability, shaped and joined, then sanded and finished by hand with natural oils or a hard-wax finish. Because every board is different, your piece will carry its own grain, knots and color while matching the design and size you chose.

When it’s ready, smaller pieces ship by parcel and larger ones travel by freight — the carrier calls ahead to schedule delivery. Read more in our Journal and the FAQ.
