There are not many places that repair shoes any longer. It seems to be a dying art form. Everything, it seems, can be found online including having your shoes repaired. The only thing with using an online shoe repair shop is not the time it takes to have them repaired but the shipping time to the online repair shop and back to you.
When you consider the price of repair and shipping, it might be just as cheap to purchase a new pair of shoes. If the shoes that need repaired are a pair of your favorite ones, then it might be worth the expense. All you have to do is type in the search bar “repair shoes online” and you will be given many sites to visit that will repair your shoes online.
One online shop lets you fill out a shoe repair job form for each pair of shoes that you are sending, or you can let the company decide what is needed to repair. After filling out the form, make sure you put the repair form in the pair of shoes that needs to be repaired especially if you are sending more than one pair to be repaired. Then you pack them up and send them out. This company states that you can enjoy free shipping and no tax. You can also expect your shoes back within 3-7 business days.
If it takes the full 7 days to get them back, and it takes 2 days to get them to the company, that is a total of 9 days you will be without your shoes. Depending on the postal service it can be shorter or longer for your repairs. Some of the repair prices include rubber heels for $15.00 for men and for women it would be $10. If you need full rubber soles and rubber heels plus a free shine would cost you $60.00 for a pair of men’s shoes. If you do just the half rubber soles, heels and free shine you are looking at $45 for men. Women’s half is $20, and full is $45.
At these prices and the time it takes to send and get your shoes, it might be just as cheap, or cheaper to purchase a new pair of shoes.
