Julie Derrick founded her shop, JD’s Shoe Repair, in 2009 and has been in shoe repair for 15 years. Mentored by some of the best cobblers in the area and driven to further her skills in repairing shoes and leather goods while furthering her education in business management, she manages the shop and works on repairs.
Shoe repair fits with Julie's core held ethic of maintaining and reusing rather than contributing to the ever-larger heap of garbage in the world. JD's Shoe Repair focuses on the need to stay comfortable on our feet. The shop provides repairs and maintenance to working people and travelers of all kinds, from musicians and dancers to laborers and nurses. Shoe repair is for everyone, and the staff works to create a welcoming and supportive environment in the shop for anyone who needs their shoes to keep going a few more miles.
