Since 1993, Gary Ashton and his team have been ensuring Ponsonby locals are well heeled.
“We have seen phases where people are more concerned with replacing than repairing but with many of the high-quality shoes available now, the best option is to protect shoes when they are new and repair as soon as they show signs of wear,” explains Gary. As we all become more mindful about what and how we purchase, protecting our new shoes is one way we can ensure they last and stay looking new while avoiding becoming a symptom of the fast-fashion throw away culture.
Gary has also added a high-quality, large format, fine art printing and a custom framing service at One Step Ahead. An enthusiast photographer himself, Gary appreciates the need for high-quality archival printing and professional made-to-measure framing. “We do a full range of framing including everything from commemorative sports jerseys, to fine art prints and photographic work,” says Gary. They are committed to offering high-quality and fast turn-around times with all the work completed on site in the Ponsonby workshop.
