Shoe w/ impossible to remove sticker residue
Reece H.

I don't normally leave reviews, and I don't want to discount the great work they did on the shoes, and the great service I received. However, I do want to comment on the fact that the sticker they used to identify my shoes was very difficult to remove, and left behind some residue that is impossible to get off. A small complaint, maybe, but pretty avoidable by just putting the sticker somewhere else. Other than that had a great experience here, will return again!

Vibram soles on my new sandals!

They did a great job putting Vibram soles on my new sandals. (PS. The "renowned" Dave Page said that this couldn't be done.)

Broken no more, thanks Broadway!

Took a chance bringing my airline-damaged luggage into Broadway Show Repair to see if they could fix the strap and not only did they fit it entirely, but they also did it in 10 minutes! I was so impressed by the friendliness, efficiency, and quality that I'm currently digging through my closet to see if any shoes need to be resoled by Broadway! Highly, highly recommend. Truly 5 star service!

They repainted and mismatched the paint on my Guccis. Almost 2 years later the paint is rubbing off.

They ruined my designer shoes. They do not pay attention to details here. What happen was I bought a new pair of Gucci loafers 2 years ago. I used Kiwi Saddle Soap to clean them after wearing them only 4 times and I rubbed off a quarter sized patch of paint! I took them to Broadway shoe repair to get the color put back on. They tried to match the paint but couldn't and basically repainted the entire shoe a dusty white matte color instead of the ivory bone color that the shoes came in. When I got the shoes back they didn't look the same but I wasn't quite sure. I didn't even want to wear them anymore because something felt off and they sat in my closet for over a year. Recently I found these shoes in the box and the bad paint has now started to rub off. The original color came through and yup, it wasn't my imagination. That's why now I am just writing this review 1.5 years later because I felt embarrassed and just wanted to forget this mistake. The Guccis were $800 and I paid $32 to get them repainted! The repainting wasn't too expensive at the time (probably more now due to inflation) but they ruined the shoes more and now I have to pay more to fix the mistake. In addition, I took a pair of $200 Coach boots to be repaired at the same visit because the rivets on the strap to the faux buckle broke. I told them to just sew the strap back on. They ended up over sewing the tip of the buckle to the rest of the strap. The buckle tip is supposed to be loose like when thread through a buckle, not completely sewn on! The two shoes have to match, too but they missed that part. I had them take the stitching out and you can now see holes where they over stitched. It's not noticeable but these shoes were not cheap either for them to put random holes in! If it were in another spot I would have been pissed. Don't come here. They don't pay attention to detail and will ruin your designer goods. Recently I went to Old Style Shoe Shine downtown. They are much more expensive but did a much better job on my shoes. I will now have to take my Guccis there to get them properly restored with the right color paint.

I wear heels daily and they always make quick work of replacing my top pieces properly. But the real shining star moment was when I brought my Lous by for a last minute total revamp so I could wear them with my Halloween costume. Fixed the top pieces and refinished my soles beautifully in only 4 hours. I appreciate them being flexible with me and still doing quality work on a rush job. The staff is friendly and the value is definitely there for what you pay for it.

Ambience. A Service. A Price. A Friendly getting in. Needed a shoe sign for pretty scratched up boots. Took me in immediately and shined up nicely. $12 later. Nice shoe shine within 10 mins.

See all

Jim has probably the worst attitude of any service person I have ever encountered in my life. I've…read morebeen taking shoes to him for years to have sole/heel protectors on to prolong the life of my shoes. He's never been a friendly guy, but he's gotten progressively grumpier and ruder over the years and acts as if a simple request to add protectors will take an act of god. 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. You have one job and apparently you can't do it. He's the absolute worst.

Literally the WORST. I've come in at least three times for extremely simple fixes, only to be met…read morewith withering responses and immediate refusals. Today's exchange topped them all when I brought in a pair of sandals that had cracked on the upper part. Jim glanced at the shoes, then at me, and said "Nope. I can't fix that. How could I fix that?" Um, what?? Am I the cobbler now?? He bunkered down and repeated: "I can't do it." This man only comes from a place of no. If his business model is to actively turn away customers and make them recoil, he is doing a terrific job. Keep up the great work.
