There's nothing quite like that perfect pair of shoes, especially if you're one, like I am, who…read moresuffers from diffuse foot ailments. When I find the perfect pair, I want them to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, averaging almost 20,000 steps per day, the soles of my shoes quickly disintegrate. Thanks be to God that I found Cento's Shoes. I like mom-and-pop shops; they have dedicated owners whose top goal is customer satisfaction. Cento's Shoes is the paradigm of a generational business, and its atmosphere arouses memories of yore: times when quality and craftsmanship mattered. I love my Samuel Hubbard shoes, and I was nervous for anyone, other than the manufacturer, to service them. My initial instincts were wrong. During my first visit, the owner and I discussed the perfect sole, based on comfort and durability. The following day, he texted me a picture of an available sole, which I accepted. In less than a week's time, the job was complete. The shoes were immaculate, shined to perfection, and all their various nicks and notches were repaired. The new soles provided a more comfortable wear than the originals. Cento's Shoes also sells a variety of shoes, care products, and an eclectic selection of hats. It's the kind of shop your grandfather visited on his way to Lovers' Lane. Cento's Shoe's is a must for anyone who owns fine footwear, and they have my highest recommendation.

Mike Cento is a true craftsman. He took 2 pairs of shoes, resoled them, cleaned them up, polished…read morethem, etc., and now they are like new shoes. One of the pairs, my Footjoy Classics Spikeless, stopped being produced in 2009 so I wasn't sure how difficult of a project this might be for Mike. Turns out they look better than they did when they were new! More support, better constructed, and they look brand new. Mike took a pair of shoes that were literally falling apart and brought them back to life, even better than before. These Footjoys look better than anything Footjoy sells these days! Mike did such a great job that I dropped off another pair when I picked up my last 2 pair. And I have about 3 more pairs of shoes that are in need of being recrafted, Cento Shoes will be wear I am taking them. The price is right at Cento Shoes and they carry all the good and necessary shoe care products to keep your shoes in great shape and well nourished. Jennifer who works in the front of the house is just amazing and super kind. She got me taken care of in no time and while I was there picking up my shoes I got some new socks and shoe care accessories too. Cento Shoes has been around longer than I have been alive and Mike Cento has the same passion for shoes that I do. Footwear is really important to me. If it is important to you and want support a locally-owned family business of 50+ years that brings footwear back to life, go see Mike and Jennifer at Cento Shoes, you will not be disappointed. Mike is like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of shoe recrafting. He has a new customer and a friend for life. Thank you!!!

She advised I get both heels done so there wouldn't be an imbalance when walking in these shoes. The shoes were ready as promised and the price was very reasonable.

Alas, that I have to post this update: after a couple of weeks, my luggage organizer "mobile…read morecloset" thingy was returned -- and they failed to reattach the cinch strap, which was the whole reason I went to them! (Instead, they left the strap hanging from its other attachment point, dangling uselessly, and *closed* the hole it left when the strap tore out of the stitches.) So I wrote a nice note and shipped it back. And the postal service promptly lost the box, utterly beyond reclaiming. So I ended up paying for a new set of luggage after all, which I'd been trying to avoid in the first place. I called the shop, and the woman who answered told me she'd talk to her supervisor about a refund and call me back; she never called me back. Sigh. Not the small local business experience I had hoped for. :/

I've been going to Hakky's for years and don't let the 1-2 star reviews sway your decision to use…read morethem. Most of those reviews are from costumers with the typical "expectation versus reality" mentality. Birkenstock customers are typically the worst of the bunch. Your Birks, like ALL shoes, have a life expectancy. Don't blame Hakky for not being able to bring your sandals back from the dead. If you're asking to have the sole replaced, you're likely better off buying a new pair. If your cork is damaged, it's DEFINITELY time to buy a new pair. Yes, the father is better than the son, but the skill of the father has been learned over DECADES of experience. If you're giving them poor reviews because of this, then you're the reason shoe repair is going the way of the dodo and should be ashamed! Show some grace, it's called a learning curve, and bring a cobbler is an art form that's being lost thanks to consumerism. And yes, I'm guilty as well.
