Custom-made and durable shoes

The art of combining luxury and ecological awareness

At Gerry 1958 , we often hear the same question: "Is it still worth investing in good shoes today?"
My answer is simple: absolutely . And I'll explain why.

🔹 The return of tailor-made and authenticity

Today, more and more customers are looking for unique, carefully crafted pieces that will last. It's a return to basics. We're moving away from mass-produced products and restoring value to craftsmanship.

At Gerry 1958, every shoe that passes through our workshop is a unique piece. Whether it's a major brand or not, it deserves to be carefully repaired, customized, or restored.

🔹 Personalization according to our workshop

Do you want to give your shoes a second life? Change the patina, the color, the sole?
These are exactly the kind of challenges I love to take on.
I work with quality leathers, natural dyes, and I take the time to understand your style, your needs, your story. Every detail counts. And believe me, when you put on a pair that you have truly chosen , the feeling is incomparable.

🔹 Repairing means resisting fast fashion

It's time to change the way we consume. Rather than buying a new pair every season, why not take care of the ones you already love?

A remade sole, nourished leather, repaired stitching... And there you have it, your shoes are ready for several more years.
It's economical, eco-friendly, and frankly, it's stylish.

🔹 A workshop rooted in Quebec since 1958

At Gerry's, it's not just a business. It's a family affair.
Founded in 1958, the shoemaking business is now in my hands, Philippe Moreau Latreille .
I am proud to keep this craft alive here in Gatineau, respecting traditions while integrating modern techniques.
And above all: I take the time to listen to you.

🔹 Responsible luxury: taking care of your beautiful shoes

Do you own Red Wing boots, Louboutin or Chanel shoes?
These are exceptional pieces, designed to last... if you take care of them.

At Gerry 1958, we are official partners of Red Wing, and we know how to treat premium leather with respect.
Repairing also means honoring these quality objects.

🔚 In conclusion

Every shoe tells a story. And sometimes it deserves a new chapter rather than a quick ending.
By choosing to restore rather than throw away, you are making a responsible — and stylish — choice.

Thank you for trusting local craftsmanship. Thank you for trusting Chez Gerry 1958.
