Cobbler repairing a leather shoe at a workshop bench

Turning street side survival jobs into trusted repair professions

We hire, onboard, and upskill Indian cobblers through Resole Labs, while redesigning their booths and rebranding their work as a professional shoe care service.

Learn how it works

GetMyPair is dedicated to transforming the lives of cobblers in India, empowering them to move beyond streetside stalls into professional repair shops.

Why this matters?

Problem

Many cobblers work in an invisible, informal economy where livelihoods are fragile, health can be at risk, and skills are being lost in a changing market. Project Resole exists to protect that craft, strengthen income, and restore dignity.

Shoes sent by users are routed to our Resole Labs, where cobblers are trained by GetMyPair. At the same time, we upgrade how the craft is presented to the world, so street-side survival becomes a trusted service experience.
