Trenton and Heath have been in the shoe cobbler business for over a decade. They began their business as a side hustle in 2012 as a pick-up/delivery shoe shine business throughout the Nashville area before purchasing a small shoe repair shop 2 years later. They have since grown their business to a worldwide mail-in repair service. They also founded Southern Polished sandals, where they manufacture some of the highest quality, classic-styled flip flops and sandals for both men and women.
Their passion for high-quality footwear led them to start their YouTube channel in 2019. On there, they take you behind the scenes of shoe restorations and also discuss proper shoe care.
