Shoe repairer Domingo Benavides marks 50 years in Stockdale
Domingo Benavides has run a shoe repair and leather goods shop from a rear garage in Stockdale for more than five decades. Born 1916 in Lockhart, he learned the trade as a boy and opened his first store in Boerne before moving to Stockdale in 1948. He still uses 60 year old machines to polish and shape leather, keeping a simple creed: the world still needs good shoes.
