the Cost of Cobblers and Shoe Repair for Casual Men's Shoes

Wanted to have the worn out soles and heels padded with more material or to have them replaced. I also wanted to have them professionally cleaned and polished. I was able to get this all done for twenty dollars, including taxes. This seemed like a better option than buying a new pair of shoes. Had the shoe stretched as a bonus, for free!

The shoe repairman was very experienced at his art, if I may call it that. He suggested that I have the heel and sole replaced since it would last longer than just having more padding material added to the heel and sole of each shoe. He also explained that it would be more comfortable since most people's shoes don't wear (as in 'wear and tear') evenly. He did a great job of the repair, making my shoes look almost new, yet with the comfort of well-worn, comfortable footwear.

After a little bit of bargain-hunting, it seemed that the shoe repair shop I settled on was a very good choice, after all! This would be the best advice I could offer. Also, see if you can get them to add on a service at a discount. I asked, and got the 'We strech your shoes for comfort' service for the asking! Select a heel and sole style that goes well with the type of shoe. I was amazed at how may styles of heel and sole they have. This could also be taken as an opportunity to have a 'new' shoe without actually buying new shoes -- select a heel and sole style that makes the pair of shoe look very different that what you have been wearing for the -- usually -- past year or so. You'll love the results and the savings.
