    Lari P.

    (*Updated!) Not only do I prefer to support local, small businesses, I'm happy to rave about a tiny start-up, run by women in a traditional craft-persons trade. I showed them my boots, asked if the could resole them. They said Yes, ordered me up some Vibram soles and I felt confident my boots would come out great. They LOOKED great when I got them, the soles were perfect shape and colour, and no more gummy crepe to walk on. Yay! It's mere months later and the soles were beginning to separate from the boots. (I have photos, but can't see where I could post them.) I don't live downtown anymore, and I ride a motorbike, so I basically have to wait for decent weather to take them in, or spend the day on the GO just to have them re-repaired. ***~ UPDATE ~ *** So, I finally made it in, cringing at the thought of questioning their work, but I was not let down at all, and they were really understanding. *Note* The soles of my boots ARE a difficult material to work with. Crepe is 'greasy' and may not take to sole cement, so it's partially my particular boot fault that it's a hard fix. They did the best they could have, and will try once more (free of charge, super cool) but they also suggested I may need to have them stitched and also recommended a place to go. *One more Note* I also needed to have the zippers replaced, and the owner said she'd just charge me for one zipper, which is more than generous since zippers are a pricey repair. Either way, I left feeling good. I have a couple other boots that will soon need l repairs and I will not hesitate to make my way to their shop once again and will recommend. I believe their work is sound, and they are totally professional and forthright when it comes to any issues. Thanks!

    I took in my favourite pair of YSL boots to be repaired and my experience in person and via messaging was very pleasant.

    Rob is the friendliest guy ever and it is absolutely contagious. He treats everyone that walks…read morethrough his door as a valued customer and shows his appreciation for you every time (not that it is necessary, but certainly appreciated!) He will never try to sell you on anything that you don't need and is totally honest with you. I got some work done on a couple shoes including a heel lower, installing vibram soles and french plates at the tip of the shoe. He was very fair with the pricing and gave me a discount for doing multiple shoes at once. He walked me through everything that he was going to do with the shoe and explained the whole process (which is very helpful since I know nothing about it and why it costs the prices he charges). When I went to pick up the shoes he already knew what I was there for and showed me the work, which was amazing. I couldn't be happier with the modifications to the shoes and they will definitely help preserve the longevity of the soles. I'll definitely be coming back to get other work done on them in the future.

    Rob is my shoe guy and should most definitely be yours too! The quality of his work is unbeatable…read morefor the price! He's definitely a shoe specialist and has improved the condition of my shoes tremendously! I wouldnt trust anyone else to touch my designer shoes ( I have tried the likes of Kaner's, etc). On top of that, you get the best service from his awesome and fun personality!
