    I took in 5 pairs to have work done to them. When I picked them up he said he "tried his best" which to me was not the best of signs. I am trying to be as fair as possible when it comes to the review because this is a small business and seems like only one or two people are doing this work. 1. Thursday Boots Presidents- Was quoted for taps, the shoe had prexisting ones built into the sole. The taps were placed crooked on both shoes. If the taps underneath weren't level, I would think he would try to shave those down before nailing in a new tap if that was the issue. Obviously not a cobbler, but I would have reached out to the customer to confirm before proceeding with the work. The shining was not done on the tongue of the shoe on either boot. 2. Thursday Boots Chelsea boot- The shoe shining is arguably the best part of my experience with them. 3. Common Projects Oxfords- The Shoe Shining is great here again, but the heel reconstruction is not clean or that seamless, so it makes it look like a cheaper pair of shoes than when I brought them in. 4. Saint Laurent Chelsea Boots- Heel was completely replaced and looks seamless, the front part of the shoe was agreed to have a new piece of leather put on the bottom but it was like a plastic bottom and it says "sport" on it. So it makes the shoes again look cheaper than when I brought them in. I would recommend asking upfront when getting the quote exactly what would be used before confirming the job. This was my first experience with a cobbler so my presumption is that they would try to colormatch and use as close material as possible to keep the authenticity of the shoe. (Also this was the most expensive pair of all of these shoes and also the most expensive pair quoted for repair) 5. Vintage Mary Janes - He told me he was going to remove the entire bottom part of the sole and put another one. When I picked them up, it was just the old one reglued. P.S Also he writes the quotes on the soles of the shoes or where he will be doing the work, so if that bothers you bring it up before he starts marking it! He left all my shoes with those markings. Make the choice for yourself and be wise!

    The gentlemen who work here are so courteous and friendly! I came in to have my boots re-soled which would have cost $55 but they offered to simply fix the heels for $15. When I picked up my boots a few days later they were as good as new! Excellent service. I'll most certainly be back.

    Cleaned up nice

    Sami is the sweetest and does amazing work! His hours are a little wonky but worth it. True old school shoe repair.

    The price to replace the rubber heel of a girl shoe was $22, Much higher than others. I got it done on 8th Ave for $10.
