My great Grandfather was good at repairing shoes as he worked as a cobbler when very young

Yes! Always enjoyed that.

Yes, I do. I was fairly young at the time.

Yeah but it was about 20 years ago to get my knee-high leather boots re-heeled.

I remember having a sales person doing this at Woolworths, Gimbel's, Sears, etc when getting shoes

@HumanEarth My aunty and uncle had a shoe shop near Sydney with the old wooden ladder to slide along to pick shoe from the wall

When I was a little girl, and even into my teens, there was a cobbler in the town where I grew up, in Massachusetts. I used to wear my shoes over on the sides when I was young, and the cobbler would tap little wedges onto the soles on that side of the shoe!

Yes, and I did it last in 2015.

Yes. I still get them reheeled or resoled occasionally, but today's shoe repair places don't smell as good as the old ones.

I've done that once or twice. There was still a cobbler in one or two of the local towns back home when I was younger.

Musicman · 61-69, M
Yes I do. I actually have a pair now that need to go to the cobbler.

Not me, but I remember going with my mom when she would have her cowboy boots cleaned and maintained.
Lol….. yep, being old as dirt I do remember. Called it the shoemaker’s.

Not as such but I do remember working for one at weekends and in school holidays delivering repaired ones to local customers homes.

I took in a pair of leather boots for repair when I was younger. Haven't thought about it in years - no one does shoe/boot repair around here anymore. Is that still a thing anywhere?
We had one around here ..not sure if they are still around
