Grammar Explanation

Pay attention: somebody else is reparing my shoes for me! Or fixing my car for me, or something else. We use it to say that we are using a service (which we then often pay for, of course)

   

Get + object + past participle 

Have + object + past participle

Have = formal occassions

Get = (more informal occassions)

The expression have/get something done can be used to say that somebody else is doing something for you.
