Here in the UK, ...I really disagree with that one!<br /><br />Here in the UK, we have a 'cobbler' in every small town. If we have paid a fortune for a pair of shoes we want them to last more than a couple of years. I take my shoes in as soon as I have bought them to get tougher soles put on them, finely ridged ones that will take a bit of bad weather.<br /><br />I hate it when i wear out a really comfortable pair of shoes, too. It's like losing an old friend, so I always get boots and shoes fixed if I can. I have even managed to get the repair men to replace slightly-too-high heels with ones half an inch shorter.<br /><br />Of course, there's no point in repairing cheap shoes. But I hate cheap shoes.janerowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295097968168916092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766997791062274033.post-49343107972398744102009-11-09T09:10:36.500-08:002009-11-09T09:10:36.500-08:00Most shoes in the USA, even expensive ones are not...Most shoes in the USA, even expensive ones are not even repairable. I had a two hundred dollar pair of workboots once that split across the sole after six months. No way to resole them. Had to trash them. I agree with you. Only thing better than new sheets or new socks is new shoes.KOOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986549911723641974noreply@blogger.com
