SNP MP Stewart McDonald posted on Facebook: "Today is the final day of trading for Wm Lang Shoe Repairs after over 70 years of operation.
"Michael Lang, who took over his father’s business, has been repairing shoes for over 50 years and has now taken the decision to retire.
"Although this is a huge loss for the Shawlands community, I would like to wish Michael and his family all the best for the future."
The comment section was full of well wishers, with many stating that long-running family business will be missed.
One wrote : "Deserves a break after all that time. Hope it is a long and happy retirement."
