Here in Italy, as I said in my prev post, the shoemaker's trade no longer exists. We are now in a throw-away system! But I kindly ask you, in your country is it still possible for you to take your shoes to be repaired?
The business of a cobbler/ shoe mender.

Same thing in your neighbour country Croatia. Hello neighbour! We also just throw shoes. But most of shoes you can't repair since those are just glued and materials are not possible glue again or sew.
Indeed also these appears to be by Chinese manufacturing. Plastic, rubber and other synthetic materials, I suppo0
Indeed that too appears to be Chinese manufacturing. Plastic, rubber and synthetic materials, I believe are among the most used materials for industrial production on a large scale.

There was a researcg how clothes become one of bigger eco threats and now countrys must regulate materials in clothers ans shooes. Also I saw some campaigns not change clothhes to often than exchange it with others. It involve shoe to.
I've actually seen a lot of them that are hawking such in my area and I actually patronized some of them because they had good product to sell.
You're right, rich people have a lot of disposable income and they can afford almost everything they need. But poor people always find it difficult to do that.
It is not that the less privileged are so impoverished to the extent they can not buy new shoes that is why they have been repairing their shoes. Shoes are unlike clothes. If the rate at which one possess clothes is the same rate he possess shoes, wouldn't that be amazing?.
To buy new shoes is difficult for so many people because poverty is really ravaging the economies of the developing countries.
@Chibson Unfortunately today more than ever there is an abysmal difference in level between the rich who practically lack for nothing, and the poor where some are truly reduced to misery!
@hastral45 I agree that clothes change much more frequently than shoes, so it it's obvious that no one can own a pair of shoes for every outfit that he/she has.

That is the problem of Africa generally. Poverty has eaten deeply and our governments are playing politics with it. Most of poverty eradication programs initiated by them have political undertone.
Well, as for this topic, average family prefer consulting cobblers to repair their wards shoes rather than buy them new ones.
Nice one, gone are the days where people see shoe making as a poor man's job. Everything these days is all about how you package, market and promote the business.
From what I know, women have an unbridled pleasure for the shoes, both summer and winter. As prices rise, not all of them will be able to keep up with the times of changing fashion.
So I would ask the ladied presents in this thread, if they share this opinion.
Thank you.

Normally,.most of them engaged in selling shoes because it's an additional way to make income as well .
Probably, if you are able to package yourself well in the business you're going to maximize profit. Of course people who venture into it makes a lot of money. It is not a poor man's business at all.
It is always overlooked but they are very essential. Shoe mending is a service that everyone would need at one point or the other.
