Shoes That You Repair Yourself? The RIY Movement

When our cars break down, we don’t just send them to the wreckers, we take them to a mechanic to get them fixed. It’s been a long time since we’ve done this with shoes, though, and one company hopes to grant people cobbler like skills at home with their RIY, or Repair It Yourself, line of shoes.

The concept is novel, and even noble. In a time when people have less money than ever, providing the option to easily repair ones shoes could be invaluable. The trouble is that, in my opinion, these shoes are
