Ever thought of getting a shoe fixed rather than spending much more to buy a new pair? Well, with unemployment on the rise and almost everyone tightening their purse strings, this just might be the perfect time to head to the cobbler instead of the nearest DSW. Yes, the cobbler still exists! Even though the ranks have dipped from as many 120,000 shops during the Great Depression to approximately 7,000 nationwide, they do still exist. And while salaries and bonuses were on the rise for the past decade, driving this skill-driven industry into persona non grata status, the current recession has brought them back into much-needed prominence. The Wall Street Journal also &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;reports&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; an online shoe-repairman, where you can mail in your shoes and they will repair and mail them back to you!
