Ideal Bite: Sole Train - Born Again Week

If 10,000 Biters revive an old pair of shoes instead of chucking them, we'll keep the weight of 107 Biters in shoes outta landfills.
Discoed your heels into oblivion? Boogie over to a cobbler or tailor to fix the soles or holes in your fave platforms. Repairing's cheaper and averts the resources needed to make new stuff. Smooooth.
- Saving your oldies-but-goodies. You don't have to send that designer dress you ripped to the landfill.
- More cash for Afro picks. New heels for your shoes or a skirt hem stitch up usually cost around $12 - way less than new.
- (R&)Being eco-friendlier. Slapping a fresh sole on those loafers (or mending a torn pants' seam) uses a whole lot less material than manufacturing a new pair.
Jenifer recently spiffed up a coat she got for cheap just by replacing the buttons - one button, she'll sew herself, but since there were five biggies, she handed the job over to her dry cleaner.
Note: some cobblers do handbags and luggage too.
- Yelp - search for a cobbler or tailor here, or ask your eco dry cleaner for recommendations.
