Augie's Is to Shoe Repair What Lidia Is to Cooking --Pure Mastery…read more Augie's Shoe Repair is nothing short of extraordinary. I brought in my favorite pair of Clark's leather shoes--worn almost daily for over 7 years--with an open seam and a heel that was completely beyond wear. Honestly, I wasn't sure they could be saved. What I picked up was astonishing. The shoes looked like they had just arrived brand new from a high-end shoe manufacturer. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride in their work was truly shown in the final result. My well-worn shoes were beautifully restored, impeccably finished, and clearly handled by someone who knows their craft. If you have shoes you love and think they're past their prime, don't replace them--revive them. This is old-school skill, done at the highest level. If you dread the uncomfortable break-in phase that comes with new shoes, run, don't walk to Augie's Shoe Repair.

I've had a tall pair of Ferragamo boots and Alexander McQueen ankle booties, both worn frequently…read morefor over five years. The Ferragamos had a damaged heel and some cosmetic scuffs in the black leather, while the McQueens looked fine on the surface but had soles so worn down that water seeped in whenever it rained. Romy managed to fix both pairs so they look and function like new. I'm thrilled to have my two favorite boots back. It was absolutely worth the money: he repaired both of my shoes, which retail for several hundred dollars, at just a fraction of what it would have cost me to replace them new. And all within 24 hours! I came on a Thursday afternoon and he had them ready for me Friday morning :) I will be back!

Recently we noticed that the cushions on two chairs that they restored decades ago were not holding up. We took them in and, a week later had cushions stuffed with new feathers that exactly match the colors of the rest of the chairs. Also one of the chairs had a bolt sticking out more than an inch. As part of the deal, Mike, the owner, visited our house and snipped the metal part off. When we need something done to our furniture, we don't have to make tough choices.

I had 3 pairs of oxfords that were ready for the trash. The heels and soles were shot and the uppers were somewhat worn out. It would have cost $450 to replace all 3 pair. Teddy diagnosed them and said he could make them look "better than new". He charged me $110 to do half soles and heels for the three pair. I picked them up yesterday and I am impressed with his craftsmanship. They look new. I am going to use him from now on. The one quirk is that the shop doesn't open until 11:00 AM
