Belfast man repairing donated shoes in spare time to distribute to local homeless charities

A Belfast man who turned his passion for shoes into a restoration business is now using his talents to help homeless charities across the city.

Daniel Gardner from Dunmurry has always had an eye for nice trainers and decided to learn a new skill in order to give his worn-out shoes a new lease of life.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Daniel said: "I'm a trainer collector myself and I have a big collection of Adidas trainers - I have a load that are unworn or still in the box but about three years ago, I had a load of pairs sitting in the bottom of the wardrobe and I had spent too much money on them to get rid of them.
