History

Established in 1921.

In the early 1920s John Risk, a Lebanese immigrant, opened Risk’s Boot & Shoe Repair on Houston Street in Sherman. A short time later, he moved the shop around the corner to South Crockett where it operates today. When John Risk died in 1945, the business passed to his son Raymond. The business passed from father to son again when Raymond retired. Today Naïf Risk is the third generation to carry on as a «mender of bad soles.»
