repair and restore good shoes for summer

There are many environmental benefits of repairing shoes rather than sending them to the landfill.  Good shoes are an investment that can last for years with good care and repair.

Special Bonus for this episode! Jim Whey pops out from the workshop and talks through the process of rebuilding a pair of sandals that were completely restored for their owner. Now they've got a brand new pair of shoes that are perfectly broken in.

They're kept out of the landfill and will keep the owner walking tall for years more to come.

You can visit Kevin, Jim, and the crew at Modern Shoe Hospital at 244 Duckworth Street in St. John's to learn more about extending the life of your shoes!
