[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3019463, member: 42584"] I was raised in the shoe repair business literally teething, as a baby, on scraps of leather (skiving's). The business was started, owned, and operated by my mother, whom at one time, had received a nice write-up in an industry magazine (don't remember the name) about being the only female shoe repair owner/operator West of the Mississippi. Just before my mother retired (about 1980) she tried her best to get me to take over the business, which I declined. I'm glad I did because it wasn't long before the 'art' of shoe repair almost went the way of dinosaurs due to the import of cheap fabric/rubber sport shoes that replaced leather ones. Only recently has leather shoe repair picked up a bit, but finding a shoe repair shop can still be difficult. [/QUOTE]
