Reduce the Carbon Footprint with Chez Gerry 1958

Philipe Moreau-Latreille

In our quest for a more sustainable lifestyle, every little bit counts, including how we care for our shoes. At Gerry 1958, we firmly believe in the importance of reducing our carbon footprint, and we are proud to say that our shoe repair service plays a crucial role in this eco-responsible approach.

Why is Repair Eco-responsible?

In a fast-paced consumer society, the tendency to “use and throw away” is unfortunately widespread. However, each pair of shoes produced has a significant environmental cost, ranging from raw material extraction, production, and transportation to retailers. By choosing to repair your shoes at Chez Gerry 1958, you are helping to reduce this cycle of consumption and its impact on the planet.

The Impact of Shoemaking on Waste Reduction

Every year, millions of shoes are thrown away, contributing to increased landfill waste and pollution. By opting to repair your shoes, you extend their lifespan and prevent them from ending up in the trash. This not only reduces waste, but also decreases the demand for new shoes, therefore limiting the CO2 production associated with their manufacturing.

Chez Gerry 1958: A Commitment to Sustainability

At Gerry 1958, we take our role in protecting the environment very seriously. We use durable materials and repair techniques that not only bring your shoes back to life but also ensure they stay comfortable and stylish for longer. We encourage our customers to consider repair as a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to purchasing new shoes.

Tips for Eco-responsible Care of your Shoes

To support our commitment, we also offer advice on eco-responsible care of your shoes:

  • Clean your shoes regularly with natural products to extend their lifespan.
  • Waterproof your shoes to protect them from the elements, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
  • Opt for professional shoe repair for lasting repairs, instead of temporary solutions that can end up further damaging your shoes.
