The business of a cobbler/ shoe mender.

[Niyi Briggs]

Cobblers are those people that fix cuts and other issues on shoes. In my country, they are many and it is very lucrative. Some move from place to place while some have a shop.
What do you think of this kind of business?

This is a profitable business. Shoes need repair once in a while. In my location, almost all subway stations have a shop offering shoe repair service. I noted that these shops have many customers.

I personally have knowledge on how to make my own shoes when I was still younger but at some point I decided to stop developing the skills because I needed something that will pay me better.

Shoe cobbling or making is a lucrative business here. The business is primarily done by the particular ethnics who hawk from a place to another. The locals that are doing it take it as a professional vocation, because they have shops equipped with modern tools. Some even add making new shoes along with it.

This business is lucrative though but it would be more lucrative if you can also make shoes. Most of these persons rely on just fixing shoes, but they can make more money when they also make.

I think these people do great business in my country. Some of them would be doing the mending and repairs and making patches for torn shoes. Others would incorporate it with cleaning and shoe shinning services.

The ones that can make shoes are the ones making the most money from the business. It is a sound business that helps people to eke out a living. They can be life savers sometimes.

It is a very profitable business. Many people in this part of the world who own shops as shoe cobblers always maximizes profit. Shoes is something people cannot do without.

And the funny thing about shoes is that it can disappoint you in the middle of the road. That is when one would know how necessary the service of a cobbler can be.

 

[Shavkat]

We still have these people in my city. However, they are not that popular now as compared before. Although I sometimes go and ask them to fix my broken shoes.

Why are there no longer popular in your country? Is it because your shoes are so durable that they don't need their services to mend them? They are very essential in my country.

Shoe cobbler or shoe maker are the same. Their vocations are to repair leather materials like shoes, bags, belts etc.
Apart from repair leather materials, they could also make new shoes and other leather materials. The business is lucrative in nature and easily fed money to the practitioners.

One of the best way that you can be able to make good money from this kind of business is to try and be very creative with the designs that you are making in those shoes.

There are professional shoemakers these days that make shoes with machines. They take time to carve it out. Everything is all about levels of exposure.

This is a profitable business. You just need to have the skills . Every one at some point need to repair their shoes even if it is once in a while.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

When people buy new shoes in my place, they need to sow it round to prevent it from spoiling. That's a huge market for cobblers.

Where is your location so I can send a bag of shoes to be sown. It is good to have a skill. You can't be stranded in life because you have what to fall back to.
