In our fast-paced consumer society, the question often arises: is it better to repair or replace? At Chez Gerry 1958, we firmly believe in the value of repair, not only for your wallets but also for the environment.

Economical and Ecological

Repairing your shoes can be much more economical than buying new ones. Additionally, it helps reduce waste, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future.

When to repair your shoes?

If your shoes are of good quality, comfortable and fit your feet well, a repair is often warranted. Worn soles, damaged heels or faulty stitching can usually be easily repaired by our experts.

Sentimental Value

Some shoes have sentimental value that goes beyond their monetary value. Whether it's a pair of wedding shoes, or the ones you wore to a milestone event, repairing them helps preserve those precious memories.

When is it time to say goodbye?

There are cases where repair is not viable. If the structure of the shoe itself is damaged beyond repair, or if the repair costs far exceed the value of the shoe, it might be time to replace them.

At Chez Gerry 1958, we are passionate about the art of shoemaking and we are committed to offering you quality repair services. Before you get rid of your worn shoes, come see us. We will be happy to advise you whether they are worth repairing or not.
