Kane Woods and Tom Pearce got the keys to their Hednesford workshop this week where they will restore old shoes and trainers to their former glory.
Kane said: "Every year across the world 150 million shoes are thrown into landfill and they take 100 years to decompose.
"So at HD Creps we restore, refit, restitch and reheel shoes and trainers so they last longer. Cobblers did it for years and we are reviving that lost art."
The pair also promised to donate cash from each restoration to a different charity each month.
