Footwear and leather goods repair shops perform hands-on craft work including resoling, heel replacement, stitching, dyeing, stretching, and conditioning of shoes, boots, handbags, briefcases, belts, and similar leather or leather-like items. Customer goods are typically left on premises for a period of days or weeks, and some shops also offer cleaning and restoration services. Operations are generally low-hazard with hand tools and small sewing or stitching machines.
Questions to investigate
- What types of goods are accepted for repair — footwear only, or also handbags, luggage, and other leather goods?
- What is the average value and approximate volume of customer goods on premises at any given time?
- Does the shop handle luxury or designer items with high individual values?
- Are any new goods retailed or consigned alongside repair services?
