Shoe Repair – Eco Friendly and Green
Posted by easy eco blog
Shoe repair is back in vogue. The economic downturn has pushed people to spend less and become more eco friendly. Shoe repair shops are getting more business. People are paying to fix their old shoes instead of buying new ones. This is much more green as you are saving on all the rubber, leather, etc used in making new products.
“At Tony’s, Pirinjian is so busy greeting customers he barely has time to fix shoes. Most days he brings armfuls of pumps, sandals and boots back to his San Rafael home to keep up with the workload…
Some customers said they bring their worn-out shoes to Tony’s for environmental reasons.”

We have one of the best guys in Philadelphia to repair shoes just around the corner from our house. We have been to him many times and he’s saved a ton of shoes for us.

I love that people are doing it for eco-friendly reasons! Did you see Newton Running shoes’ new boxes? Entirely eco friendly.
