That is all correct. Also, it is no longer called Labelle's. It is now Daub's Shoe Repair and he does excellent work.

What's the difference between an "active user" and a "member?"

I'm pretty sure that an "active user" is the total number of members and non-members who are viewing the site at any given time.

If you go to the bottom of the main Forum page, there is a section called What's Going On. The first section in it is Currently Active Users.

In this section, it lists how many Members of the Forum are viewing Forums, and also how many 'Guests" are viewing them as well.

I travel constantly and tear up bags all the time. Always go to Bob to repair them no complaints always does a great job for a reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone.

Old thread but recently revived. Thought I would like to add a comment regarding boot/shoe stretching from my own experiences having it done.

Due to severe foot problems, I have had boots and shoes stretched a number of times by shoe specialists (orthotists.) I have never seen them stretch the entire piece of footwear, but only the pressure points where they need to be widened. They mark those areas with chalk so they can zero in on the correct spots that need stretching. Therefore, you have to be there yourself in order to insert foot in boot, so they can determine where the places that need stretching are. If minimum stretching is necessary, they can do it while you wait in a matter of minutes. However, it usually takes an overnight stretching on their machine if more time is needed to do a better job.

Everyone I know who has had work done by Mr. Daub says he is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. It appears he does as fine a job as a professional orthotist, but at less cost. As a disclaimer, I might add that I am not associated with Daub’s Shoe Repair in any way.

Hmmm wonder if they change shoe laces and what's the cost?

upthesaukee · 01-12-2016, 02:48 PM

I have a pair of black plain toe shoes that I wear with my tuxedo, and also wore while playing in a marching band (no longer belong to that band). They had leather soles and heels, and needed new half soles and heels.

Turnaround time was about a week, he did look at the laces (in great shape, he said

), and the quality of work was first rate.

The shoes are about 8 or 9 years old, and the uppers were in great shape, and the shoes fit me like a glove. I could have spent a little more money, and got a new pair of shoes, but I really didn't want to part with these shoes.

Daub's is not inexpensive, but I have always paid for quality. If I needed to go back to him for any shoe or leather repair, I would not hesitate to do so.

I am the owner of Daub's Cobbler Shop (formerly LaBelle's Shoe Repair). In June 2015 we moved the shop to 24 Canal Street, right around the corner from the old Main Street location.

In December "shecooks" wrote a review here on this site as well as YP and Yelp. I evidently offended this customer, and have responded to her Yelp posting, without further correspondence.

The reason for my reply to all of you is because of your overwhelming support in this thread. There have been so many wonderful things said about Daub's Cobbler Shop, I cannot even begin to thank you enough...

I absolutely love being part of this community and would ask you to:
1) Please let me know when you come in that you saw this thread
2) Tell all of your friends that wear shoes that we are here
3) Continue on as a community that encourages to live, work and play locally

The user has only ever posted that one complaint, so clearly a troll. Good riddance.
