In the eighties and nineties of the last century, a pair of shoes had to be worn for several years, and almost all of them were mended. Later, when the living conditions improved, many people's shoes were still the same as new, but the backward styles were about to be eliminated. But with the development of society, now young people are starting to repair shoes in tricks again, but instead of sewing and mending, they directly change the soles of sneakers. The reporter's investigation found that a pair of shoes for expensive merchants charged 120 yuan.

More than 1,000 yuan of shoes The soles of the shoes were scrapped in two monthsXiaoliang is 16 years old this year, he especially likes basketball, "I was on the school basketball team in elementary school, and my biggest hobby Xi in junior high school is playing basketball. ”
Xiao Liang said that in more than three years, he bought 15 pairs of shoes, many of which cost more than 1,000 yuan. However, due to the large amount of exercise, there is still a problem with the expensive shoes or pairs. "Some airbags are broken, some bottoms are broken, some are badly worn with anti-skid lines, and so on. ”
Xiaoliang said that the fastest pair of shoes he wore were scrapped in half a month. The soles are basically scrapped and can only be eliminated.
Change the bottom to let the "combat boots" go to work againXiaoliang told reporters that at the earliest, he found a shoe repairer in a shopping mall. You can change the sole, change the airbag, etc., "I repaired it there, I can change the bottom and the airbag." He said that he liked the look of a pair of shoes as a freshman, and some of his classmates also chose to change the soles of their sneakers. However, he recently found that the shoe repair shop was gone, and his two pairs of shoes to be replaced had to be put in a shoe box, and later found an online repair shop.
The reporter did not find any merchants who changed the soles of shoes in this mall, and according to the store next to it, it had long been closed. In front of Wanda Plaza on Jingsi Road, the person in charge of repairing clothes introduced that they only knew about a shoe repair company, but it was not clear whether they could change the bottom of the sneakers or replace the airbags. In the Swallow Mountain Morning Market, an uncle repairs shoes all year round, but mainly changes the heel of leather shoes, etc., and does not change the soles of sneakers. A laundry shop on Yanxiang Road is also responsible for brushing shoes. The most brushed in this store are sneakers, and the owner said that you can also change the soles, but the specific price depends on what shoes.
Compared with the difficulty of finding a shoe repair shop in reality, on an e-commerce platform, the reporter saw that there are many soles changed, airbags repaired, and spray paint.
A pair of bottom changes 120 yuanThe reporter contacted the merchants of the e-commerce platform and selected a high-priced one, and the price of a pair of shoes for changing the soles of his house was 120 yuan. However, the reporter noticed that the platform also has a lot of offers for a pair of 90 yuan, or about 60 yuan a pair. The customer service said that they collect shoes all over the country, basically sneakers, and the soles are basically young people. They said that if you don't need to change it if you wear it generally, the shoes will basically be scrapped if the bottom is worn out, but playing basketball has high requirements for shoes and the price is expensive, and the sole is the easiest to wear, so it is very marketable to change the sole.

Why is there such a big difference in price? The store with the highest price said that they are professional in changing soles, "We can guarantee 'actual combat' after changing the soles, that is, we can wear them to play basketball again." The customer service of this store told reporters that other homes may be cheaper, but the quality after replacement is certainly not guaranteed.
After understanding, if you want to change the bottom, you need to take a photo first, and the other party will see which type of shoes it is, and then choose the color of the sole, and send the shoes after everything is confirmed. "We will take a picture of the shoes when we receive them, and then send them to you after the repairs. "A store in Shenzhen contacted by the reporter mailed back and forth plus the maintenance time, about 10 days. The store says they replace about 300 pairs of soles a month, an average of about 10 pairs a day.

The reporter learned that a pair of shoes sent by Xiaoliang has been replaced at present, and the shoes are the same as new after the store cleans and replaces the soles, "I put it on to play basketball, it's not bad, it's about the same as new shoes." As for changing the soles, he said that it is a relatively cost-effective approach, although the price is not cheap, but it is much cheaper than buying new shoes.
