I had to displeasure of having a pair of my classic Ferragamo loafers destroyed by this cobbler. I…read morewanted to have the shoes restored by gluing the heel back onto the actual shoe. I haven't worn these shoes for sometime. They were part of my collection that I didn't want to let go, so I thought I would try and restore them. The cobbler described what he would do as it relates to stitching the heel as well as gluing it. However, he actually stitched the outside of heel, making the shoe look like some sort of Frankenstein stitching around the heel. The shoe looks awful. He did not try to accommodate us at all stating that the job is done. I was truly upset, however, rather than make a scene and get completely out of character. I paid him and I left. The craftsmanship was awful and I would not recommend this cobbler to anyone. Those shoes retailed at the time for $750 19 years and now they are completely destroyed!

I have taken several pairs of my favorite boots there to be re-soled, due to wear. I THINK they…read moreactually re-soled the one pair twice because I wore them so much. Not only did they do an excellent job fixing the boots, but they also polished up at least 2 pairs that were really starting to show abuse. Their prices are reasonable. They aren't the friendliest people, but they do an awesome job, so if they don't want to chit-chat, that's totally fine with me. They were even honest about 2 different pairs (brought in at different times) that wouldn't be worthwhile or look very good after repairs. I greatly appreciated that they told me in advance that it wouldn't look good or hold up. They very easily could have taken the boots, fixed them, received the money and not said anything. I don't even know of another shoe repair shop in the area. My mom had been using them for YEARS before she sent me to them, and she was always very pleased with the results and prices.

Please don't go here to get your luggage repaired - I had a very frustrating experience…read more My carry on has a zipper to extend the bag which fell off the track on one side so I found this place to fix it. He looks at my bag from the outside and starts opening the stitch which I was nervous about but he told me not worry. He then puts another zipper on the track which he said is stronger and will prevent it breaking off again. He then finally opens the inside of the bag to start the stitch and noticed he can't see the spine of the zipper because I have a compartment overlapping it so he pokes holes and stitches through the material without even looking at the other side including the mesh portion which I did not want because I was nervous the mesh would tear if I used this pocket. He became upset and took the stitch out and then did a very sloppy job of a hand stitch - look at the pictures. I was upset and by this time he just wanted his money. By the time I got to my car, one of the stitches already fell out. I had to go to another repair shop which sewed it by a machine and was much more sturdy. I will never come back to this place again.

Originally i saw black soles and was willing to accept that because at the time that's all that's was available but John knowing what the brand called for got the exact color soles that were on the shoes when they were brand new. Perfection is the name of the game at John's shoe repair. As it says on the window""we fix anything" probably leather, of course. Located on downtown Roslyn, PA it is incredibly easy to get to. Greeted by John himself, a calm manwho immediately gives you confidence the repair will be done correctly and professionally Actually where ever you live it's worth going to John's shoe repair in Rosyln to get your shoes repaired.. Sorry I'm so word but I can't say enough good things about John and his.

I think he just figures out a price on the spot. This price is often a bit high. 2. Disorganization - I can relate to other reviews that brought this up. I came to pick up my items. They were not done and he couldn't find them in the abyss of shoes and leather goods. He finished them while I was there. If he needed more than a week just let me know.

After multiple trips back, one shoe was overstretched and now both pairs are unwearable.
