Recycle, Reuse and Repair
When was the last time you saw a real live cobbler? Shoe repair has become something of a lost art in the past few decades as shoes have become easily replaceable and less expensive.
But can you really replace a favorite pair of shoes? Ones that have been broken in just right and hug your feet like they were custom-made? Once they wear through the soles, though, what are you to do?
NuShoe.com has an interesting answer to that question. NuShoe offers custom hand-crafted shoe repair services to put your shoes back in a like-new condition. They agree that comfortable, well-made footwear should be given a second life and they have the skilled tradespeople to do it. Sole wear is the most common reason for shoes to become unwearable and NuShoe can re-sole shoes with high-quality materials that rival the original. Many other things can happen to a pair of shoes also. Heels can break off, shoes can lose their stitching, and leather can become brittle and cracked. NuShoe can repair all of these issues.
While at first glance, the company looks like a throwback to the village cobbler, it has updated its services for the new century. You can mail them your shoes using their convenient shoe bags and shipping labels and they will mail them back when they are done. This saves you time and effort that would otherwise be spent trying to locate a local shoe repairer and making sure they can do what you ask.
NuShoe offers shoe renewal programs for many major labels, including Ecco, Mephisto, Birkenstock , Ariat, Chippewa, and even the US Marine Corps. In addition to these, NuShoe can renew almost any brand of shoes, boots, or sandals They call their process “nu crafting” in which they rebuild the shoe to its original condition.
