Don't Throw Out Your Favorite 'Old' Shoes – Repair Them Instead!
Personally, I have a very hard time finding shoes that I love. Oh, I like the way they look on the shelf, but often they don't fit well, or they're just not comfortable. Or, they fit great, but they don't look so good….
So, when I find a pair of shoes that look great, fit great and are really comfortable, I wear them a lot! Unfortunately, this means that they don't last as long as I'd like. The heel breaks off, the toes get scuffed, the sole wears thin…
A good pair of shoes can cost hundreds of dollars….even if you bought them at an outlet or discount store, they probably cost $30-40. So, if you go to your local 'cobbler' or shoe repair shop, you may pay $30 to have your shoes repaired, but they may be even 'better than new', and you won't go through the torture of looking for another pair of great shoes!
