With the economy the way it is (and it doesn’t seem to be getting better here where we live – my opinion and the opinion of several random people I’ve been in conversation with during the past month), more and more people are looking for ways to save money and cut costs such as using a shoe repair shop.  You can have your nice, leather shoes repaired and maybe even dyed to take away scuff marks.  A good pair of leather shoes can last for years if well taken care of and sent to a reputable shoe repair shop for cosmetic purposes and repairs.  That’s a great way to save money!
