Worn down by going green? Go to the cobbler

1 comment November 19th, 2008

These days when you hear the word “cobbler,” you’re more likely to think of dessert than Dr. Scholl’s.

Apparently, the economic downturn has led to a boom for the shoe repair shops across the country.

As one newspaper put it, people are fixin’ to save.

I’ve taken my pumps to Heel Sew Quick and Palace, mostly because I love the shoes (I fixed a pair very similar to those below). But paying five or 15 bucks beats buying a new pair for much more.
