Where to get damaged hip belt repaired in San Sebastián?

Totally agree that a zapatería is one good place to go.

Another option would be to go to a non-chain (meaning, not Decathlon) outdoor store like this one.


Once when I arrived in Granada I decided I needed to buy a new fanny pack because the zipper on mine was broken. So I went to a small outdoor store, like the one in San Sebastián I linked to above, intending to buy a new one. When I explained what I needed, the guy asked why didn’t I just get mine repaired. Well, duh, because I’m from the US and we always just throw things away and buy new. He suggested I go to their “backpack repair” guy, who turned out to have a small furniture reupholstery store.

If you go to a local sporting goods place that sells high quality sporting goods, they will likely have contacts for their customers who want to reapair rather than throw out their expensive purchases.

I don’t know if this is a straightforward repair or whether some skill would be required, but if you can find someone who has repaired backpacks before, you’re likely to get a good result.
