Kirby's has not changed in the least bit (a VERY good thing) and much like old school barbershops, is the sort of national treasure America is quickly loosing. I took a pair of dress shoes in for minor repairs and a shine, however, since a new pair is marginally more than repairing the old one, the gentleman actually just showed me what to do and gave me a quick shoeshine class since my shoes were "of very good quality" but just needed some care so I can wear them for a bit longer. They offer more than basic shoe repair so, even if you don't need actual shoe repair or if you are passing through on I-70, go support this local business in anyway you can.

As evidenced in my photos, they do provide reselling services and corking services for Birkenstocks.

I've had my Birkenstock sandals for years and, thanks to Dr. Shoe. they are a comfortable lifetime investment.

Bottom Line: I can finally wear my boots…read more This is old school craftsman. You walk in and the place is full of stuff; People's boots, purses, luggage, leather briefcases, leather jackets, and much much more. I had a simple problem. I needed a pair of boots stretched. I have large feet. Sasquatch like. I brought in my Ariats that have been sitting in my closet for 3 years now. The owner is behind a counter piled up with jobs he is working on and equipment he uses to do his craft. He is brusque. "$45. 2 weeks" I think at first "That's a lot to stretch some boots" I go back. He says, brusquely "If they are still tight tell me where, toes, ankles, shaft/calves? I will stretch again" I tell him that I am leaving for work and that I am a flight attendant and I won't be back in town for a month, can I try them when I get back and let him know? He looks at me and nods. I finally get home and try the boots they fit great. So in this crazy economy is $45 a lot of money? To me it is, but to pay a craftsman for a craft that will soon be hard to find, it is well worth it. Bottom Line: my expensive boots have finally made it out of the closet thanks to Dr. Shoe! Extra points for honesty - I went in the other day with a large cheap piece of luggage that had the zipper broken on an outer pocket. He said it will cost you double the cost of a new suitcase to repair that because it would have to be done all by hand and I would have to charge for my time. Thank you!

After Mike thoroughly cleaned the bag, it looked much better, but the stain was still somewhat visible, and Mike offered to do a bit more work on it to blend the color of the leather more as long as I could give more time to work on it. The stain is now barely detectable, and I can use my bag again! The pricing was very reasonable, and I found the timeline for work to be very reasonable, especially considering the amount of labor needed for my request. I'll be back for future leather needs!

How do you mess with someone in the land of shoe repair?…read moreWell ... 1) You could put oversized heals on their boots to unbalance it. 2) Then say, it's "regulation," oh OK. 3) Then put black paint all over their leather soles. 4) Then hand them a boot with wet paint so their hand is blackened. 5) Then leave glue on upper portion of their boot. 6) Then, of course, serve the customer who came behind them first. 7) Then say you're securing heal with a nail but don't. 8) Then grind up their good heals, outer edge for max damage (my favorite). Perhaps there was a nail, in the side of sole so it now splits? Thank you so much.
