In 2013, Lorena Agolli became the owner and head cobbler of Sole Survivor shoe repair. Since then, she has been transforming the business into a go-to establishment for those need their footwear cared for. Lorena and her team educate individuals on the step-by-step repair process and offer helpful tips which assist with the upkeep and protection of leather and a variety of other goods. This communication builds lasting relationships with satisfied customers while ensuring that every job is a positive experience.
Lorena’s journey has now taken an exciting turn as she steps into the role of Head of Shoe Department for Cirque Du Soleil’s show, KOOZA. This incredible opportunity allows her to expand her expertise, explore new techniques, and bring back fresh inspiration to Sole Survivor. Though the shop’s roots are deeply connected to the traditional craft of cobbling, this new chapter marks an evolution in Lorena’s craft and vision.
Even as she embarks on this new adventure, Lorena remains deeply committed to the principles that have always defined Sole Survivor: exceptional craftsmanship, authentic customer service, and a love for well-made footwear. The future holds exciting possibilities, and she looks forward to bringing her newfound skills and insights back to the community she cherishes.
