From shoe repairer to our team

John Ross

John is a true craftsman at heart. He thrives on working with his hands and has a natural inclination towards finding the most efficient and effective ways to complete a job. This is evident in the quality of work he produces. He has a meticulous attention to detail and takes great pride in his work.

For John, the most rewarding aspect of cobbling is being able to restore a shoe to its original condition, or even better. He takes great care in ensuring that the repair is seamless and that the shoe looks as good as new. In fact, one of the biggest compliments he receives is when someone cannot tell that a shoe has been repaired. This is a testament to his skill and dedication to his craft.

John's passion for cobbling is evident in everything he does. He's constantly looking for new ways to improve his techniques and is always eager to learn and grow as a cobbler. He's an integral part of our team and we're fortunate to have him on board. John's expertise and commitment to excellence make him an invaluable asset to our team and we're grateful to have him on our team.

Mat Salmon

Mat has always had a passion for shoe repairs, dabbling in it on and off over the years. But it wasn't until he stumbled upon one of our videos that he knew he had found his calling. He reached out to us and after a chat, he was hooked.

Mat has been an integral part of our team ever since, dedicating all his time and energy to helping us in our mission of saving shoes from the scrap heap. His expertise and enthusiasm make him a valuable asset to our team and we're lucky to have him on board.

Mat's love for shoe repairs is contagious, and he's always eager to share his knowledge with others. We jokingly say that he's hardly been home since he joined us, but in all seriousness, Mat's dedication to our cause is admirable and we're grateful to have him on our team.
