What is a shoe repair worker?
Shoe Repair Workers rebuild and repair shoes and, oftentimes, luggage, purses and jackets as well. They use hand and power tools, such as awls and heel-nailing machines, to restitch worn seams, attach new heels and soles, reshape shoes and even change shoes’ colors. According to the Shoe Service Institute of America (www.ssia.info), Shoe Repair Workers also may fit orthopedic shoes to doctors’ specifications.
