Description:

We’re hiring a Shoe Repair Specialist who specializes in athletic and casual footwear — perfect for someone who understands the mechanics of sneakers, active shoes, and performance wear. You’ll work on popular brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Vans, and Converse, restoring structure, grip, and appearance. You’ll be trained to replace soles and heels, patch tears, restitch seams, and restore worn-down parts using professional tools. You’ll replace heels, re-glue soles, stitch torn uppers, and polish shoes while customers browse or shop nearby. You’ll operate specialized machines like grinders, sanders, stitchers, and presses while following strict safety procedures. You’ll assist with protective sole installations, custom taps, heel plates, and invisible sole guards for designer footwear. You’ll work with synthetic materials, foam, canvas, rubber, and glued constructions that differ from traditional leather shoes. You’ll document repairs, log materials used, and track turnaround time for client orders and repeat customers. You’ll support repair of matching accessories like leather bags, wallets, or belts using small-scale restoration tools.

Basic Qualifications:

• Sew torn seams, reattach straps, and reinforce weak areas for long-lasting results.
• Represent your shop or brand through quality, reliability, and respect for the craft.
• Provide friendly customer service, answering questions and offering care advice for different shoe types.
• Apply protective treatments like waterproofing, dyes, or sole guards when requested.
• Work with a variety of materials, including leather, rubber, canvas, and synthetics.

Preferred:

• Capable of offering personalized care for orthopedic or custom-fit footwear.
• Familiar with waterproofing treatments, custom dyeing, and professional polishing techniques.
• Understands how to match replacement parts like soles, laces, and eyelets to maintain the original shoe design.
• Able to handle a high volume of repairs while maintaining consistent quality and attention to detail.
• Comfortable operating and maintaining shop equipment safely and efficiently.

Benefits:

• Your skills bring new life to well-worn shoes — you’re the hero that repairs, restores, and preserves.
• Steady work schedule — you’ll have consistent hours with minimal surprises.
• Work that’s hands-on — no office cubicle, just craftsmanship and creativity.
• Mentorship and support — learn from other experienced shoe repair specialists.
• Room to grow — expand your skills into leather goods, bags, or even custom repairs.

You’ll follow high-end service etiquette when speaking with clients, explaining restoration options with clarity and care. You’ll work independently, managing your time and route efficiently with support from a central scheduling team. You’ll be trained to work on specialty items like boots, orthopedic footwear, designer brands, and even bags or belts. You’ll be mentored on how to balance quality and speed while managing a steady stream of incoming jobs. You’ll be mentored by experienced techs who understand the fine line between preservation and personalization. No experience required — just a love for sneakers, respect for movement, and good hands for the job. No prior experience is required — just steady hands, a driver's license, and a respect for practical craftsmanship. If you’re ready to save soles with bounce and style, we’re ready to train you in sneaker and casual shoe repair.
