Repairing our relationship to repair
At JD's Shoe Repair, we take pride in our commitment to preserving the artisanal craft of shoe repair and leatherwork. Founded in 2009 by Julie Derrick, a trained cobbler with years of experience in Portland, our shop has become a beloved destination for individuals seeking high-quality repair services for their shoes, bags, and leather goods.
Our journey began with a clear vision to provide exceptional service, using traditional techniques to breathe new life into worn-out items.

Our Story
As we close our storefront to transition to a new model, we acknowledge the many memories made within our walls. Arthur, our beloved team member and soul of the shop, left us too soon. His passing has given us a new purpose: to find ways to adapt and evolve, staying true to our core values of craftsmanship, creativity, and community.
We are committed to continuing our services in new and innovative ways, including community pop-ups and appointment-only models. Stay tuned as we embark on this new journey, and join us in shaping the reincarnation of our service.
