Cobbler, 93, is soul of 100-year-old Wayland shoe repair shop

In what sometimes seems like a throwaway society, cobbler Alan Baugh has mastered what some considered a dying trade. (Jan. 17, 2023)

I have been to Mr Baugh many times for repair and had him make me a belt... He never charges much to do anything... I was surprised that he only charged me a fraction of the cost that I got charged in Fredericksburg Virginia for fixing a pair of shoes... And then, the show fell apart a month later as it was. If you need your shoes fixed, take it to this man... He is very good at what he does...

I’ve been restoring footwear leather goods and filling orthopedic prescriptions for over 45 years …. I can relate to this man’s zeal for the craft …..

When we begin businesses we focus on profits but there's an aspect of touching lives this man does a job he loves which you will not find with the youth this days.

What a great guy. I hope he finds that replacement soon.. he's not getting any younger. It's too bad about his son. We're lucky to have three cobblers in my town. I get my boots resoled now and again.

I wonder if he is happy.
