History

Established in 1987.

We started repairing shoes in the basement of our home

building we were in burned to the ground. So we bought this building and here we are.

Meet the Business Owner

Jim D.

Business Owner

I was working in a shoe store, and we had a man who

would pick up shoes to be worked on. Mostly baby shoes that needed wedges on the soles or build-​ups for short legs. I started to learn from him then bought the equipment that he had and started in my basement at home. That was 35 yrs ago.

And I have been saving soles in Freeport, every day but Sunday since then.
