The Love of a Good Cobbler: What to Look For

The love of a good cobbler, who back in the day would make and repair shoes, but these days, mostly just repairs and shines them, can make a world of difference for your shoes. Finding the right cobbler for you, however, is like finding the right tailor, or florist, or dentist. It takes some doing and some work to find the right one for you.

I have seen some people online on money saving forums try to say you can repair your own shoes. I highly advise AGAINST this unless it’s just a minor internal repair to cover up a fabric hole. Do you really think you can do what this man is doing? I don’t think so. He is grinding a sole down to what he knows is the right shape and height. Don’t try this at home with a piece of sandpaper, kids. It’ll take you 3 days.

Street in San Francisco, meanwhile. So I’ve been inundated with great shoes for a long time, and one of my first memories is probably of sitting by the mirror as my mother put on makeup, misted on perfume and opened up a perfectly pristine shoe container from the long line of gorgeous Ferragamos she had. She was a size 6.5 to 7, which I still believe to be the perfect shoe size, even though I’ll never fit into her shoes with my clodhopping size 9 feet!
