    Decided to wait a few days to write this cause I needed to calm down and not fire off a hot headed…read morereview. But I'm still get hot every time I look at them sneakers. I heard good things about the shoe doctor I brought in a few pairs of sneaks that needed attention. I was assured that all kicks would be done on the date discussed. One painted, one cleaned, last one was a restoration project. A tall task I know but again I was assured no task was too tall. And For the price I paid (I also over paid) all the kicks should've been immaculate upon the date discussed. A woman on the phone told me one number. Fresh (the painter) told me another number. I Didn't say nothing I let em have it. Charging it to the game thinking he would focus on my kicks cause I paid "extra". Just ended up getting finessed. The restoration joints were in a worse condition picking them up than what i brought them in (NO.. CAP...) midsole cracked up soles peeling off and the "paint job" was terrible.. I hate I ever brought them to ya. The other custom had flaws that was just painted over with white paint (their favorite color to use over there).. the last shoe just needed a simple cleaning.. Fresh just painted over the dirt and oxidation when i specifically asked him to use the oxidation remover creme to remove the oxidation on the bottoms. Shoe strings were still dirty too. The shop is nothing but a daycare for kicks. Cause they not cleaning them or restoring them. Them boys don't know how to clean the shoe strings fr... lbvs... I hoped for the best but expected some bs.. I'm never returning.. bringing you new business.. no recommendations to the homies no none of that. Way to kick off the new year Fresh

    Very professional. The services are much needed and done well. Please support local business!read more

    As a certified orthotic fitter, Lou makes custom orthotics for me that greatly reduced my foot…read morepain. He has repaired countless pairs of shoes for me. I bought a pair of beautiful, second-hand, never-worn black patent leather pumps for an event, even though they were a size too big and slipped off my feet. I knew who could help me. Lou put two sets of pads inside, and I was able to wear them. He fits customers properly for the quality shoes he sells, and can repair everything from shoes to belts and purses. Some people focus on cost, but what you're paying for is knowledge, careful attention, and professional fitting. In my experience, that value lasts long after the purchase. He's the real deal.

    Pricing is really high. I get that it is located downtown, but I won't choose this business again…read morebased on the very high prices. $20 to replace plastic heel caps on pumps is on the high side. I have used numerous cobblers for 25 years in bigger cities and feel like I have a good point of reference. I didn't end up leaving my ballet flats to be resoled. The cost would have been $85. $60-75 is average for flat soles. You also have to pay up front. I'm used to paying upon pickup with other repair shops. Leaving your expensive shoes is enough collateral. Lead time was two weeks for the heel cap replacement. While it's good to be busy, that is too long to wait. When I picked up the shoes, there was glue up the black satin heel. Poor workmanship. Service seems below average, expensive, and wasn't exceptional.
