Workmanship or lack of

[Trevor]

My wife took three pairs of dress boots to a local shoe repair store to be repaired. One for new heels the other two pairs to get new soils. When she picked up the boots she came home really upset. When I asked her what was wrong she just said look at my boots. When I looked at them I could not believe the mess they made of them. He put nails through the toes of one pair,heels don't match one another and glue all over all the boots. I took the boots back this afternoon to show the quy to get my money back and the just didn't care. Well I got the money back and took the boots to a different repair store. I just had to vent but seems people don't care to do quality work any more.

understand the frustration, I think part of the problem is that some people just don't know any better and have never seen what a "good" quality product looks like.

Unfortunately some just don't seem to care. Pretty sad. Good you at least got your money back.

I think a lot of people either dont take pride or lack the skill set of good craftsmanship anymore. It just a job. Years ago a lot of "jobs" like that were art and people were more dedicated.

Same goes for saddle makers, etc.
