Satki Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Love my Clark and Rockport. Heel worn at corner. Send to HDB corridor type Cobbler but done badly. Those in mall seems to be no better. Are there still good cobblers like those u see restoring old shoes in YouTube? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaur4man Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Love Rockport too. It's the only brand of dress's shoes I can wear so far. Cobbler is almost dead trade I feel. Shoes aren't made to last like last time. Makers just want consumers to buy new shoes all the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satki Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Do they use quality heels and do they have a good technique. The Cobbler I send to just nail a few nails to hold that cheap plastic piece to my old heel. So can see nails and the heel looks like a slab on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
