Like many other cobblers in the city, Cho had been looking for an apprentice for years. Cho himself had taken over the business when another cobbler, also named Paul, retired. The space on Taraval Street has been a shoe repair shop for over 40 years. Back then, it was known as Paul’s Shoe Repair. The two first got started in the art of cobbling when Kim saw an post on a Korean-language website from Paul Cho, the former owner of the shoe repair shop. This young Korean couple are carrying on a tradition of shoe repair and handmade products at ODSY Workshop at 1417 Taraval St.
In a city that always seems to pushing towards the technological future, Soojin Chae and Yina Kim are advancing old-fashioned craftsmanship.
