Shoe Repair Shops In Singapore
Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”
We all have a pair of trusty heels to take us from a formal office meeting to a wild night out with our girlfriends. But after wearing them day in, day out, they’ll eventually get worn out.
Rather than throw them away, make a quick trip to one of these cobblers to salvage your favourite pair of shoes, and have them returned good as new.
