What a friendly shop! My daughter takes dance classes a few doors down and when I was dropping her…read moreoff at the studio just before Christmas, she exclaimed, "I want shoes for Christmas! AND SLIPPERS!" So, I walked right back to the window full of shoes that inspired her wish, and walked through the door. Irving himself, I assume, was there cobbling a pair of shoes (I think he does a lot of shoe and zipper repairs). I wove through the many piles of shoes and other items and found a pair of pink, flowered, light-up sneakers for my daughter as well as a pair of fuzzy puppy slippers that I knew she would love to receive. Fast forward to Christmas: she was thrilled. Wears the sneaks all the time. The puppy slippers were too small. Luckily, Irving let me know during our conversation as I explored his shop that if the slippers didn't fit, I could certainly return them and he will happily get us the right size. When I get back to town, I will do so! Final note: the owner was so friendly and went above and beyond as far as customer service and engagement. He was delightful to chat with as I shopped. Makes me want to keep shopping locally at this tiny, chaotic, and lovely shoe store.

The job was so so.....but whatever, they're work boots. I didn't need them to look great, just have new soles and be strong. Within a month, the heels peeled off. I brought them back in, and he "kinda" fixed them. Not really. All I said to him was, "If I can pull this heel off with my hands, I want a refund for the repair" He said sure, go ahead, try. I pulled the heel off, and he started slamming his fists on the counter and screaming at me! With another customer in the store (sorry to the woman standing behind me who had to witness that) Don't waste your money- unless you want to overpay for a shoddy repair with no guarantees. And the worst customer service i've experienced in a long time-

He has carefully repaired everything I've brought to him & all within a timely manner. Today he repaired my favorite pair of platform heels in 7 minutes. He has refused my payment for simple jobs before, so I always carry cash on hand to pay him anyways. I won't bring my shoes anywhere else! 5/5 stars & 10/10 recommend.

Fast forward to yesterday and they called my parents house where I haven't lived in three years to say they have my sweater. My mom went today and looked at it. The stain is still there and they did not clean it. The rude man who hit on me years ago still works there and he took money OUT of my elderly mothers hands. My husband or father will be in tomorrow to discuss this with the owner. However I'm sure the owner is aware their long time employee is rude and also unprofessional already so I am guessing this won't be resolved. To the rude young man behind the counter: you will never amount to much. Good luck with your future being stuck at the dry cleaners
