Best new sole: Roger Shoe Repairs

Are you a high heels man? Do you prefer a shiny patent leather shoe? Maybe you’re a gal in a pair of Docs, or a fellow in loafers? Whatever you choose to house your feet in, we all know those much-loved boots need a man of integrity and skill to keep them going in this disposable world. Roger is a local legend; he has been in this shop for more years than most of us have graced the earth and can fix anything you can wear out (notwithstanding cheap plastic Chinese stuff you never should have bought). Add to that the fact he helps out many locals with freebies if they can’t pay, and you have a great soul. (Chris Peken) 88 Redfern St, Redfern, 9319 5420
