Resole shoes? where?
 

The bottom of my shoes are getting thin
,
does anyone know a good place to get the bottom re-soled?
thought I saw a segment on CTV, but forgot what the place was called


Thanks

there's a shoe repair place in harbour centre (if you're near downtown) It's at food fair level.

Wow, i had no idea you could even re-sole shoes... i guess this doesn't work for my DC smith 2.5

but eh... they're dirt cheap anyways lol

Generally speaking, you can only really resole dress type shoes. Your sneakers, etc. aren't exactly leather/high quality shoes.

Whats a ballpark cost for a shoe/boot resole? Are they only able to do it for shoes that have the leather stitched onto the sole, and not the type of shoes that have the sole wrap up and around the shoe and is glued on?

cool, yeah trying to get my dress shoe resoled, quick cobbler sounds like a good one.
i'll go check it out this week, hopefully its not too $$

i loveee the quick cobbler! totally recommend them!

yah how much does it normally cost?

See, now when people say shoes, I generally think my sneakers.

However, those leathery dress shoes seem like they'd be a bitch too.

I wonder how they do it? time to find an ep of how it's made...

How the hell could the OP have googled that themselves if they didn't know what a cobbler was :rolleyes:

There's a cobbler named Henry in Little India on the NW corner of Main and 49th. Very reasonable... at least for the leather work/repairs my family has gone there for.

Moved to fashion & shopping

Try Ernie's Shoe Repair on Kingsway and Earls. An old Chinese guy runs the place and he knows his stuff. It cost me about $30 to get a pair of loafers re-soled and re-heeled.

For dress shoes, definitely invest in at least one classic pair (Oxfords, wing-tips/brogues, etc.) of leather-soled shoes. If you take care of them, they'll last a long time.
