Our craft

A Cambie Street cobbler for generations

Progressive Shoe Service has been repairing Vancouver's shoes since 1951. In a world of throwaway footwear, we still believe a good pair deserves a second (and third) life.

Customers praise the workmanship and the friendly, efficient service — whether it's a quick heel tip, a full resole on a favourite pair of boots, or a tricky handbag repair.
