I highly recommend taking your shoe repair needs to Gus's Shoe Repair. I brought in some tango…read moreshoes that needed new heels and some boots that I wanted to see if I could save. I love the gentleman who works the counter. His customer service is 5 stars. He is also funny and easy to talk to. I appreciated that he was transparent about not being able to fix my boots long term. We were able to switch out the heel part of my dance shoes though. This cost me $17 to replace and took a little under two weeks to pick up. I paid up front. This is located close to downtown. I live nearby so walked, but there is some street parking around. If you want an affordable spot with honest and kind people, I recommend coming here.

I then gave them another pair of shoes for heel replacement because I was happy with my first pair. If you need shoes, boots, or buffing out of your shoes then I highly recommend this shop. Btw, you do need to pay them for services beforehand. I wear my shoes until the heels wear out and then have them replaced because comfort trumps fashion.

He took a look at my boots and recommended capping the heels as well. Overall, the price was what you would expect from both of those services. I was given the turnaround time (2 weeks) and expected ready day. I would've preferred to get a call, but I saw the hallway full of work, so I guess it stands to reason no news is good news. My boots were scheduled to be ready on a Friday, and I went to pick them up the following Monday. The woman who greeted me didn't recognize my name, but found my boots with the ticket. I have an active job, like 11k steps the other day on these boots' test run. They held up beautifully and I'm so happy I got them restored. Great job!

He gives people the ability to be mobile, to walk, and help lessen the pain many of us suffer. He is a dying breed in a MUCH needed trade. Joe and Dee found a way to keep everyone safe and worked through the pandemic. He has worked countless hours on his feet amist fumes that I'm sure aren't great for his health with Dee beside him running the business. They are not young, and have their own issues to deal with, as well as caring for elders in their families. They made a hard decision to close their business because of their own needs, but they didn't stay closed long. They heard the cries of their customers who send shoes from out of state also, and who couldn't get their shoes modified, or like in my case, not modified correctly, and if Michel DeAngelo in Illinois fixed them right, he was going to charge me again! I was left with useless shoes and out a lot of money. Joe and Dee decided to reopen when in this day and time of "It's all about ME, is rampant!" and customers don't seem to count. No, these are beautiful, special people care. They care about their customers so much they could not justify not reopening for their customers. Gratitude and reverent appreciation doesn't even begin to put feelings into words. I only hope that one day soon a young soul will come along and learn the trade well, and take the helm so Joe and Dee can retire and take care of themselves knowing they have left the customers they care so much about in wonderful hands and hopefully their legacy will be passed on. It will take some very special people to carry the torch. While they'll make a living, the richest reward will be in service to others in need. They will have some pretty big shoes to fill.
