Description:

We’re hiring a Shoe Repair Specialist to restore high-end and designer footwear — ideal for someone who values precision, discretion, and the art of premium craftsmanship. You’ll handle walk-in repairs from customers looking for quick fixes, custom upgrades, and same-day results. You’ll assist in performing minor repairs such as heel tips, sole reinforcement, polishing, and basic stitching at the client’s location. You’ll replace heels, re-glue soles, stitch torn uppers, and polish shoes while customers browse or shop nearby. You’ll help restore torn lining, busted eyelets, broken laces, and crushed counters with durability in mind. You’ll learn to clean, deodorize, and revitalize sneakers using brush techniques, steam tools, and sneaker-safe cleaning agents. You’ll work with synthetic materials, foam, canvas, rubber, and glued constructions that differ from traditional leather shoes. You’ll assist with protective sole installation, adhesive repairs, and preventive treatments using travel-safe materials. You’ll track common damage patterns for runners, skaters, and active clients — helping prevent future issues.

Basic Qualifications:

• Work independently or as part of a small shop team in a focused, hands-on environment.
• Ensure high-quality workmanship while meeting turnaround times and deadlines.
• Apply protective treatments like waterproofing, dyes, or sole guards when requested.
• Use machinery such as grinders, stitching machines, and presses safely and precisely.
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation and keep tools in good working condition.

Preferred:

• Values precision, durability, and tradition in every repair.
• Able to replace or repair heels, patch holes, stretch tight shoes, and shine or polish various finishes.
• Comfortable advising customers on repair options, shoe care products, and preventive maintenance.
• Willing to handle handbag, belt, or leather accessory repairs if required by the shop.
• Understands how to match replacement parts like soles, laces, and eyelets to maintain the original shoe design.

Benefits:

• Room to grow — expand your skills into leather goods, bags, or even custom repairs.
• You’ll help clients maintain their favorite shoes — and the gratitude they show is always rewarding.
• Paid time off and holidays — we care about your personal time and well-being.
• Paid training and professional development — learn new techniques and styles to stay ahead of trends.
• Enjoy the independence of working with your hands — you make the difference every day.

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 expected to stay current on popular silhouettes, new release models, and the best repair methods for each. 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. Prior experience with leatherwork or fashion repair is a plus, but passion for excellence matters most. If you're ready to fix soles and save days without a storefront, we’re ready to train you for the road.
