Cobbler

Clip: Season 5 Episode 3 | 4m 26sVideo has Closed Captions

Family-owned Heim's Shoes in Grafton provides old-fashioned service and shoe repair.

Mother and son, Arlene and James McDaniel keep the downtown Grafton shoe store started by Arlene's dad in 1946 running today. Arlene manages the sales and James uses the cobbler skills taught to him by his grandfather to keep footwear in fine repair. It's the kind of small home town business hard to find today, but surviving and thriving on old-fashioned service.
