There is only one review on here for this place and it is one star. If I had followed that one…read morereview I would have never experienced the quality of workmanship that was delivered with my Allen Edmunds leather shoes. These shoes are approximately 5 years old, and I wear them on all of my sales trips... which is a lot. So, the service is not as personable as I could envision but the workmanship is extremely good. And fair priced! I actually appreciate that the shop keeper refused to fix only one shoe when I originally arrived the week prior; noting that it wouldn't be fair to bill me so much and asking that I drop off both shoes so she could take the time necessary to revitalize the pair. I wish I had a before photo on my phone so you could see the difference. Let's just say I was considering buying a new pair. Now I don't have to. So my recommendation is to be extra patient. And give this place a chance for your finest leather shoes.

If I could give zero stars I think I would. Not only are the owners especially the lady that works…read moreat the customer service desk rude and not helpful, today she barely made any eye contact with me to acknowledge me at all. This is not the first time that this is happened for me this is about the third circumstance I thought each time I would give her another try maybe it was a bad day. I do not recommend anyone go to this location for this type of customer service and treatment. I plan on also making an official complaint to the head office for sure doctor

I will admit that when I initially approached Leon's in regards to altering (narrowing) a pair of…read morethigh high leather boots, I was very skeptical. The thought of sending any items for any type of repair end and where I was unable to directly speak with the individual (face-to-face) doing so made me a bit uneasy. I am happy to report that my feelings were very mistaken I communicated with Leon's via email to explain the pair of boots that I wanted to have narrowed, how they fit at the time, and how I wanted them to fit. I sent Leon a few pictures and he/she/they responded that the alterations could be done. A few emails and later after watching videos on how to mark the boots, I was off to the U.S. Post Office to send them to Leon's. Leon's was very helpful in directing me on how to complete all of the paperwork needed to send them to Canada. The entire process was incredibly smooth and the communication was excellent. Leon's let me know when the boots were received and when they were finished. The website indicated that the boots should be done in 3-5 days, but given the extra-height of the shafts of my boots, it took a day or two longer, but not at all a problem. The narrowed boots fit me like a glove! The boots now fit exactly how I hope they would fit and the workmanship is very well done. The price for shipping, both to and from, and the actual cost of the alterations is excellent. The only issue that I had was with the U.S. Post Office as they initially lost the package as it was being sent to me. Only after my complaining to my local Post Office was the package found and eventually delivered to me. This is no reflection in Leon's as it was properly addressed to be sent back to me. This, unfortunately, is a problem of the Post Office in Central Illinois, but it will not stop me from sending items in the future. Consider me a satisfied and hopefully, a returning customer! I do apologize, but I do not have any before/after pictures, but next time I will!

I brought an old leather bag that had a tear at the bottom, Leon fixed it and brought it back to…read morelife within a few days. Excellent work, highly recommend!
