As part of our Sustainability Strategy, Intersport Elverys wants to make sure you always have access to professional repair services in Ireland for your products.

General wear and tear is extremely hard to avoid so there are situations where shoes, boots, clothes or home gym equipment, for example, may need some work.

If they are out of warranty or past their return date, then the last thing we want you to do is throw it out and unnecessarily to landfill.

In this blog we are going to share with you some of our favourite repair business’ and services for all your product repair needs.

Firstly, if you haven’t heard of iFixit, the you really need to. They have created an amazing and free communal manual repair guide for nearly everything you can imagine. You should never take broken for an answer!

Running Shoe/Football Boots Repair

You will save yourself a lot of money by repairing old running shoes or football boots.

With the right tools and skillset, you can probably do it yourself – this is a really helpful guide from iFixit for running shoes, sandals and more.

But if you’re willing to invest for the long term, there are a lot of really-talented craftspeople out there right now.

Irish Footwear Aritst, The Shoe Dr, is gone viral on social media for his repair work on cycling shoes, football boots, running shoes and sneakers. His work is so worth checking out.
