DeVito Shoes, a family-owned Kootenay business founded in Trail by Vincenzo DeVito, is celebrating a century of cobbler craftsmanship this year. Vincenzo’s grandson Vince DeVito and his wife Shelley opened the Nelson shop on 1 April 1980. Vince has since passed the reins to his sons, Mat, Joel and Johnny. Mat DeVito joins us today.
