For anyone following along with my shoe saga, I listened to the people telling me I should just take my shoes to a cobbler, so I actually did do that today and they told me that it would be about $100 to replace the soles. 😭

@Alice What? That's wild. I bet I could fix those soles right up with a bit of duct tape and some Aus-Grip.

@Alice
Cobblers are getting rare as well. I stopped in my local one today to pick up some repaired boots and he is closing down the store front a few weeks to catch up on work. Said he can't find qualified help, and repairs are coming in at a crazy rate. Said he had 79 drop offs last weekend alone.

@Alice sounds like a "I don't want to do this job" price to me.
