#4: Shoe Repair Shops
Once upon a time, everyday clothing and shoes were designed to last. Your favorite pair of leather oxfords or suede pumps were an investment that you wouldn’t simply cast aside at first sight of a chipped heel or floppy sole. The neighborhood cobbler was your go-to solution for reviving and repairing your shoes and was commonly found in little storefronts across the city, especially on Main Street.
