Real Cobbler?

1 year ago
Hola a todos, is there a real cobbler anywhere in Colombia? I am autistic, with the associated scoliosis, so I need a heel or platform lift on one shoe. Plus I have ginormous feet, so I have to have my shoes shipped in.
We went to the shoe repair with the best reputation in all of Pasto, and he destroyed both pairs.
Now he says he cannot fix them (as he threw away the outsole).

So then I had a pair done in the States at an established shoe repair in NYC, and those are already starting to separate.
So before I try another USA shoe repair, I was wondering if there is a real shoe repair or a real cobbler in Colombia, that does top quality work?

I ask because it is cheaper to buy things on Amazon, and let them ship them direct, (They get/give a much better deal on shipping than my Texas reshipper.) So I can save money on shipping and have the work done locally *IF I can find a good one!
Thank in advance for any tips.
