Very cool to me that this is a centuries old trade untouched by technology and whenever I go it feels quite charming. These dudes work magic every time, it’s awesome. Do not buy new shoes, let the cobbler save the old! Up next: going to the tailor.
A Good cobbler can extend the life of your shoes and bags. My Cobbler has a crazy accent but wont tell me what country hes from for some reason. Anyway pop over to East Village shoe repair in Bushwick to get your shoes fixed
with whom I have a very close r’ship. Nothing chic-er than taking your worn-in leather boots to be re-soled! Look after your things and they’ll look after you.
