A family shop, in a small town.
At Poor Boy Soles Bespoke Shoe Co. we do things differently. Nestled in Cobalt, Ontario, Canada, a National Historic Site, and the birthplace of hard rock mining; our shop is situated in one of the first bank buildings in Cobalt, set in place in 1905 during the Silver Boom.
We use a combination of traditional techniques, as well as vintage and modern tools and to repair your footwear, leather items and make your custom orders; many of our clients say it's like "stepping into a working museum" as our tools and equipment range from 1797 to the 1950s (and a few new modern day machines, you know... because).
