So how does this differ from new school shoe repair? I'm very curious to know.

Well, for example, I went to a "shoe repair" guy when my soles needed replacement and the guy said he could repair them. When I picked them up they were horrible, the stitching was all off. The sole wasn't replaced. Basically old school is an art that is cultivated over years and decades of training and apprenticeship.

And huge heels.

I had all the stitching replaced in my old (Red & Black) Air Jordan High Tops and had the heel re-inforced.
When I took them in, he looked at me funny. But the shoes were $170 and made entirely of leather. I just told him to do what he could and not to worry if it didn't work out.

What I got back was like a completely new pair of shoes. And the heels were built up solid. That guy was amazing. I paid the $40 and was on my way...
