I purchased a very high quality shoe polish and wax for my boots. I would recommend Broadway shoe rapid to anyone in the area! Great people working wonders inside, super friendly and knowledgeable.

Upon entering I've always encountered a hello immediately and how can I help. Once I've explained my feet needs they often make some suggestions to improve the experience. And yes they made the comfort of my stretch better, so thanks. Pricing well was like $20 per pair of shoes so that's totally reasonable. And they had them completed as promised in 5 days. Broadway Shoe Repair makes coming up to Capitol Hill a worthwhile experience. And I'll be back with another pair of shoes soon.. Thanks for your service it's much appreciated.

I needed to get some protective soles added to my sandals, and found Swanson's shoe repair, a…read morefamily owned shop that's been around in Wallingford forever. It was such an easy process with very affordable prices ($40 for protective soles). They even color matched for me and gave me recommendations on what I should and should not add a sole to (they said it's unnecessary to add to the heel and that other shops will tell you to do it just to upcharge you). I dropped them off and was given an estimate, but it was ready way before the estimated time. I was given a slip to retrieve my shoes when I checked out which I easily did after they texted me that my shoes were ready for pickup. I even texted back saying I was out of town and they replied saying it was no problem and to get it whenever I was back. It looks nice and secure and I can't wait to wear them for summer! Note; they don't accept cash

I have been going to Dave Page Cobbler since I moved to Seattle almost two decades ago. I really…read morebeat up my boots--lots of hiking and back country scrambles seem to do a number on boots--and Dave Page has, most of the time, been able to resole my boots, and on some occasions repair them (e.g., rips, punctures, etc.). Their work is generally exceptional. The latest boots I took in just a couple of days ago were resoled (the boots were only about 3 years old, top end, so gives a sense of how hard I am on them), and the soles that they put on my boots were *better* than the factory ones. I mean, I was completely stunned when I saw the boots when I picked them up. Excellent workmanship on their part. A few years ago, there was a pair of boots I wanted to resole, and it just wasn't possible. A number of low-end hiking boots these days have soles that aren't replaceable. On their advice, my next boot purchase (the ones I have now) were resoleable (verified by REI). I won't make that mistake again (thanks to Dave for the recommendation). Now, customer service: it is really up and down, and frankly the only reason I ding them. Dave himself is older than dirt, and cranky as hell. If you happen to get him at the customer service counter--you won't always, but it is possible--he won't be nice about how you might be abusing your boots. If he complains about the inserts not being removed, take it in stride. If he complains about other things you've done wrong, just swallow your pride. He does, in fact, know what he's talking about, and I have usually taken his advice to heart. I just wish he were a little nicer about it! Anyway, the last time I was there, I was trapped in line behind a customer that couldn't take "no" for an answer (why can't you repair these crappy old boots?), and Dave came from the back of the shop to help me. He, of course, complained about me not removing my inserts. (Rookie mistake with him on my part.) Then he wrote up the ticket putting the day I dropped the boots off on the ticket. He told me the boots would be ready in a week. Turns out the date they're *supposed to* write on the ticket is the date of pickup not the date of drop off (how could the owner himself make such a mistake? :) ). Not really a big deal except when I called about my boots they couldn't find my them. Turns out they'd been binned under the drop-off date rather than the delivery date. Took a couple of calls, but they finally found them. A bit of a pain. And completely unnecessary. Dave--of course, I talked with him--was completely pissy about me not reporting the correct date (when it was really his mistake the whole time!). Like I said, take Dave in stride. He really is an incredible craftsman. Just cranky as hell. (Funny, when I was picking up my last pair of boots, when I told them how good the work was, pointing out that they were better than new, Dave was behind the counter and just shrugged his shoulders. I guess he already *knows* that he's that good.)

My Miuras came back as worse than when I sent them in, as both pairs came back reshaped to have a ROUNDED edge with the bottom of the shoe also sanded round. When I wrote with photos to complain, I got the verbal equivalent of a shrug and no further response. Sure, their turnaround time was lightning fast compared with dedicated climbing resole shops like Yosemite Bums or Rock and Resole, but never again because it absolutely was not worth it.

I'd also like to say this is actually the second time I've been. On my first visit, I brought a pair of heels that the gentleman behind the counter said were beyond repair.

But in the end he does fine cobbler work and that's all that matters, right? When I brought the last pair to him, he made sure to tell me the shoes I bought are "a nightmare", apparently because he didn't like the style lol. Today I brought him a brand new pair of loafers and he balked and said no, he couldn't add protectors because the soles "aren't leather" and if they peel off it's not on him. Okay, Jim, sure.
