4th generation shoe cobbler becomes viral TikTok sensation

[@NadineWilliamsNadege]

My Great Grandfather came to the US. He was a cobbler. Thank you for keeping this craft alive. 🙏💙😊

Aww Jim seems like such a sweet man!

[@rose03cruz]

This was a wonderful story, Jim has a heart that stretches as much as the shoes he mends.

[@angelinimartini]

We long for the ability to repair the small things that may bring joy to us. A true cobbler is a treasure. A man with a good heart is an asset to all that surround him.

Im so confused, are cobblers not common in The US ?

[@ibdam1]

Unfortunately not. The US public purchase shoes that are not made to be restored. Less quality all glued with fake stitching.

If people really knew what went into restoring shoes, they would stop buying cheap throw-aways.
