Has the daily wear-and-tear of city sidewalks taken its toll on your favourite pair of shoes or boots? If so, get them repaired at Iuri’s Shoe Repair. For over a decade, Iuri has been providing Toronto with exceptional shoe repair services.
Iuri moved to Canada in 1995 from Ukraine to escape the political instability of his home country. Here he was able to start fresh. A master-craftsman in the Ukraine, Iuri started his own small business in Toronto.
“In recent years, my service has become much more important,” he says. “Many shoe companies do not make their shoes with the high quality they used to. It’s much less expensive to come to me and have your shoes repaired than it is to buy a new pair.”
However, despite lack of quality in parts of the shoe fashion industry, some companies also offer custom made shoes; Iuri can help keep these items in tip-top shape. “When shoes are custom made, they are often of better quality," he notes. "However, when they do start to fall apart, bringing them to a shoe repair shop can make your favourite shoes look like new again.”
