The other day I was out with a friend and she told me that she had to stop by the shoe store to get knew shoes. I asked her why, and she responded that the backs of her shoes had been squashed and it was uncomfortable. I was able to convince her to check out a shoemaker first…
To make a long story short, for a tenth of the price of a new pair of shoes the shoemaker had a solution that made her sneakers even more comfortable than they had been before the incident.
Ask yourself: “Can this be fixed?” In today’s world, thank god, everything is accessible. If something’s broke, buy a new one right? Well think about it before you do. Often it can cost less and be just as good as new if you get it fixed instead.
