    Erin S.

    I had the best experience here! I inherited two pairs of low pumps from my grandmother that fit men perfectly and were still in style. Unfortunately after just a few wears, the rubber sole of the heel began become brittle and started to crack. Never having owned a pair of shoes worthy repairing, I had no clue where to go! I was glad to find a place close to me through Yelp with good reviews. They have good hours and my visit in took less than five minutes total. The person I spoke with could see what I needed immediately and got me taken care of. They seemed to have a lot of business because they estimated about 3 weeks to finish, but I could have paid a rush fee if I needed it quickly. I was so thrilled when I got the shoes back, the new rubber sole looks flawless and like it was always there. Plus, they threw in a free polish. All in all, I got an incredible, high quality pair of shoes repaired for only $20 (as much as a new, cheap, throwaway pair of flats!). I'm looking forward to other shoes that may need some attention and bringing them to kimmels!

    BEFORE, original waxed Copper hide.

    They did great work repairing a pair of boots. Only issue was that it took a bit longer than anticipated.

    Highly overpriced. Her father priced everything reasonably. Not any more. It's too bad. Won't be back.

    Mike Cento is a true craftsman. He took 2 pairs of shoes, resoled them, cleaned them up, polished…read morethem, etc., and now they are like new shoes. One of the pairs, my Footjoy Classics Spikeless, stopped being produced in 2009 so I wasn't sure how difficult of a project this might be for Mike. Turns out they look better than they did when they were new! More support, better constructed, and they look brand new. Mike took a pair of shoes that were literally falling apart and brought them back to life, even better than before. These Footjoys look better than anything Footjoy sells these days! Mike did such a great job that I dropped off another pair when I picked up my last 2 pair. And I have about 3 more pairs of shoes that are in need of being recrafted, Cento Shoes will be wear I am taking them. The price is right at Cento Shoes and they carry all the good and necessary shoe care products to keep your shoes in great shape and well nourished. Jennifer who works in the front of the house is just amazing and super kind. She got me taken care of in no time and while I was there picking up my shoes I got some new socks and shoe care accessories too. Cento Shoes has been around longer than I have been alive and Mike Cento has the same passion for shoes that I do. Footwear is really important to me. If it is important to you and want support a locally-owned family business of 50+ years that brings footwear back to life, go see Mike and Jennifer at Cento Shoes, you will not be disappointed. Mike is like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of shoe recrafting. He has a new customer and a friend for life. Thank you!!!

    They have never failed me in repairing my shoes. Thought I would have to throw away a favorite shoe…read morebut thank to them for giving me a few more wears. Friendly and professional.

    Broad Ripple

    Alas, that I have to post this update: after a couple of weeks, my luggage organizer "mobile…read morecloset" thingy was returned -- and they failed to reattach the cinch strap, which was the whole reason I went to them! (Instead, they left the strap hanging from its other attachment point, dangling uselessly, and *closed* the hole it left when the strap tore out of the stitches.) So I wrote a nice note and shipped it back. And the postal service promptly lost the box, utterly beyond reclaiming. So I ended up paying for a new set of luggage after all, which I'd been trying to avoid in the first place. I called the shop, and the woman who answered told me she'd talk to her supervisor about a refund and call me back; she never called me back. Sigh. Not the small local business experience I had hoped for. :/

    This family owned shoe repair shop in Broad Ripple also has a shop in Carmel. The lady that works…read morein the store is so kind and friendly and even reminds you to come pick up your shoes. I had a pair of boots that were in pretty good shape, except the heels were falling off and when I came and picked them up, I was so impressed. I decided I needed to do a review. What's exciting about this places they not only take care of your shoes, but they have shoe strings in every color as well as wax. Now I know not everybody needs all these colors, but working in the furniture repair business and in the art world waxes in many colors is a treat. I love the family pictures going all the way back in time as well as the pictures of the employees that have been there forever as well. You can't go wrong walking into this place. It's like a step back in time where you feel treated very well and get to experience a little history while you're in there. I highly recommend stopping by as they even have cool shoes for sale!
