I think it is out of business. Been locked up for quite awhile. When they were open, the service was great and the shine excellent.

I admit, this was my first time visiting a cobbler, so I really don't know what to expect, but I…read morehad a great experience here. I had purchased a pair of expensive leather shoes on clearance, and they ended up being way too small in the toe. Sadly, being on clearance, there were no shoes left in the next higher size. But I *loved* these shoes, and had read somewhere about stretching. I then turned to Yelp, and found this gem. I was a bit worried, since stretched shoes cannot be returned, and again, these were a bit pricey. I was not looking forward to the prospect of having to E-Bay messed up shoes, but loved the design of these enough to take a chance. I'm so glad I did! I drove out to North Lawrence, and came upon his shop. It is pleasant just to go there. It reminds me a bit of a tack shop, I guess, which reminds me of my childhood. That aside, it's cute. I went in, and was taken care of right away. If no one is visible, there is a bell on the door you can ring. I explained my predicament, and he seemed clearly well-versed in such issues. He gave me an estimate of about a week turnaround and ~$15 charge. I was so joyous! I'm guessing the turnaround time for my work was short, since it was perhaps an easier, less time-intensive repair. Sure enough, he called a week later and I picked up my shoes, and they fit like a dream! Again, I was joyous. They also looked just fine; I was a bit worried about the effect stretching might have on them, but I noticed no marring of any sort. He was a pleasure to work with, and it sounds like he does all sorts of shoe repair and also other leather good repair and cleaning - check out his website for more info. I may bring some of my ill-fitting belts for help. One thing to be prepared for - when he called with the official price of my work, he asked for cash or check, so it sounds like credit cards may not be an option. *One note to anyone considering stretching, the shoe fit me fine lengthwise heel-toe, the toe was just very small in width. It sounds like changing the length is not so easy, so stretching is moreso for adjusting the width of a shoe. But I'm not the expert, take them here and ask for sure!

My shoes had been in the shop for over six weeks, so I stopped by to check on progress. There was a…read moreman picking up a lined work belt, and they were charging him $150 for it. I get that it's two layers of leather, and the ten to twenty minutes it make it (I've made my own, it's not that much effort.....and OBTW you can get really great work belts from the "Amish" shops that are everywhere in this part of the country, or order from Lehmans) Waiting and watching this rip off completely destroyed any confidence I had in this shop. Instead of asking for a status, I asked to have my shoes back. No need to pay more than my shoes cost for a resole.
