Oscar's soles are better than the original. Hubs will enjoy his newly freshened favorite boots for many more years. I dare say that his work is of such a high quality that I will not need to pay his shop a repeat business anytime soon. I cannot say enough nice things about how great the work is, not to mention how welcoming and smiling Oscar is when he greets a customer. I will go back again the next time I need this kind of work, it was worth the 45-minute trip to Tarboro.

I brought a bottle on shoe stretch from his store and told him that I needed them the next day for an affair I was going to if I'm not here here's my number on the back of the ticket. Of course, when I went to get the shoes, the store was closed at 12 o'clock. pm. And when I called the phone number on the ticket he did not answer I went to pick up my shoes the following week and waited 10 minutes, but he was in the back me and two other customers when I called out for him he said give me a minute I informed him that I had a bad knee and I couldn't stand no longer and needed my shoes. He informed me that his wife was sick, and that he was going through a few things. And I said aren't we all. This is the last time there were my services to this facility. I'll walk a mile to another shoe repair shop.

The first time I used KJ Shoe repair was for my favorite pair of broken-in, leather boots. One of…read morethe heels lost its sole. He replaced both boots so they match. I was quite surprised with how reasonable his price was and the work is quality! So the next shoe we bought in for repair was an expensive athletic trainer. These were new shoes that were a gift from my son. One of the Shoes' sole was separating so rather than sending them back for replacement, we just took it into KJ shoe repair. It cost us eight dollars to get it fixed well worth it and we got the shoe back in 48 hours. And he let us know that if the shoe comes apart again that he would fix it again at no cost. Phenomenal customer service! So far so good the shoe is holding! I have a leather purse with a broken zipper. I will definitely bring it in to see if he can fix it. I certainly hope so, because I trust his workmanship. I highly recommend KJ shoe repair! This is a hard trade to find. I think we're so fortunate to have him in Wake Forest.

The quality of repair is better than I have experienced at any other shop in town.

Incredible leather knowledge and workmanship. Many of my girlfriends will only take their designer bags here for cleaning and repair. It's our go-to for resoling my fiancée's dress shoes as well. Highly recommend this place!

I was in town for a wedding and realized that I had forgotten to get my shoes shined. They were in…read morereally rough shape! I called one shoe repair place but they didn't inspire confidence in their ability to complete the work today or do the job, at all. Next, I called Love-Way and the gentleman who answered the phone responded with enthusiasm and absolute confidence that he could both complete the refresh and get it done as soon as I could bring the shoes to him. I immediately headed over and was greeted by the same enthusiast charm that I experienced on the phone. The shop is small and very cluttered with shoes, materials, machines everywhere! This is truly a workshop! None of that fancy retail decoration. This is where work gets done! He took my shoes and asked when I wanted to pick them up. Since the wedding was in a few hours, I said I could wait, if he could do them now. He replied "I'll get on 'em, like ugly on an ape!" And his partner started working on them immediately. As I waited, other customers kept coming, bringing him more and more shoes to repair, from single pairs to laundry baskets full! Obviously, they are very popular and do good work. Sure enough, he made my shoes look better than new in a very short time and I went on my way, a very satisfied customer! See the pictures for before and after, as words don't suffice.
