Some shoes are expensive, too expensive to throw away if a heel breaks or the soles wear. You do not need a brand new pair of shoes to replace them; you can have them repaired and enjoy them for a lot longer. You can also have them cleaned and dyed and stretched if you take them to the right place. Your luggage, belts, and purses can be repaired and cleaned as well. Shoes that are top-of-the-line and expensive are not the only ones worth repairing. If you have spent some time breaking in a pair of shoes and do not want to part with them at this point, they can also be cleaned and repaired.

Custom Shoes in Chicago IL are made for all sorts of reasons. You may have a unique style and want a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes or a few pair that reflect your personality. An experienced cobbler can listen to what you have in mind, help you select the best materials and create shoes that fit your feet, and your wishes, perfectly. Shoes may have to be custom made if your feet are bigger or wider than most sizes can accommodate. Sometimes the shoes can be stretched to fit, but not always. Custom Shoes in Chicago IL are needed for medical conditions, such as diabetes, to give the foot more room. Toe boxes need to be wider and higher for some diabetics to avoid squishing the toes and cutting off already compromised circulation. If you need to place an orthopedic insert into your shoes, it is sometimes possible to make comfort modifications to the shoes rather than have them custom made.
Specialty shoes for balance or better ankle support need to be customized. If you have a disability or a deformity, such as one leg shorter than the other, custom shoes will suit your needs. Some people need support braces to go through the sole of the shoe or be attached to the sides of the shoe. In some of these cases, your insurance may cover the cost of custom made shoes.
