Rickie Love is The Shoe Repair Man.
His business is a new face in town but he is no stranger to shoe repairs.
Rickie has been working in shoe repairs and engraving for 28 years.
He worked in Willeton in Perth for close to 20 years commuting from Northam two to four times a week.
Now Rickie has set up shop on Fitzgerald Street in Northam, much closer to his family.
Rickie said being closer to home was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
The response from locals has been positive from the get go with many calling his customer service and handywork “fantastic”.
“Today I visited our new key cutting and shoe repair place just near the Commerical,” said one customer on the Northam Community Board Facebook page.
“Couldn't be more pleased. The gentleman there was able to fix up my favourite shoes and cut my keys at the same time. Great service with a smile.”
The Shoe Repair Man is open Tuesday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to noon.
