SHOE REPAIR - It Is Emotionally Ugly Stuff
About Renée Finberg
I have been in this business since the age of 22.
I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.
Design Challenges are great.
And because of those challenges
I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,
Designed and Manufactured Furniture,
Created Fantastic Window Treatments,
And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues
With my unique style.
If I can't find it, I create it.
My rooms would make excellent movie sets.
I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.
Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.
Just Great Design.
Just imagine how it would be if each of us,
If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be
Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,
The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.

Maybe in BOCA they think like that.
ReplyDeleteI would never be ashamed to replace a heel. It happens to everyone. Shoe makers used to streach a shoe also. Welcome to the real world. All New Yorkers do it too. Having a well fitting shoe is worth saving. I just never heard it as a topic. It's become a throw away world, shoes- TV's and parents. Your Godfather had Houston Shoe Repair company. They had a lot of shops. Hope you find a good cobbler. Mama

ReplyDeleteClearly you missed the 'Bones' of this story.
better luck next time
Yes! I hate it when this happens. Put some medical tape on the bottom of the heel until you get there. You can paint it with shoe polish to match. Happens to my daughter too, and this is what we do until she comes home for break, and then Mom (me) takes them to the shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday.

Renee, also it is difficult to actually find a shoe repair these days. One of those lost services. We do have on a couple of miles from me.
ReplyDeleteIt is usually something I do with my best quality shoes and bags. You will find me running in and begging them to be done by the next evening! Ha!

Yes been there, if its a really good pair I will do what it takes to ensure they get a second life...if not then bye bye. I HATE seeing a shoe/heel in tattered condition being worn, think it was ingrained in me by my mother....def a pet peeve. Thankfully I dont' wear heels often at all anymore, so its kind of a non issue....never have that problem with wedges!
ReplyDeleteahahh Renee,you think of the best post ever,lol:).I also hate that sound,dont wear heels too often though.Hope you can get them fixed soon.Have a great Sunday,cold n rainy over here:(..xo
ReplyDeleteHey Girlie...some dry cleaners offer shoe repair too! Check your locals...go get 'em fixed, no need wasting perfectly good shoes!
