Located in the Bligh Building in historic downtown Salem, we are are locally known as High Street Shoe Repair. We are proud to say there has been a shoe repairman on duty here since the late 1920's. The shop has passed through the hands of several families since first opening, we are just it's stewards now and hope to someday pass it on to others.
The present owner, George Miller, has worked in the shoe repair trade since 1978, when he learned the craft from various friends and associates in the San Francisco area. After owning a shop in the Marina District there for about 7 years, he moved to Salem in 1990 to enjoy a quieter life in small town America (and, oh yeh... those pesky earthquakes were gladly left behind too...)
He and his family reside in the local hills here, on the edge of town, where the howl of coyotes can still be heard and blackberries still grow wild in forgotten hollers...
