Asked him how much it'd cost - he just took my straps and asked me how many holes, sizing of holes, etc. Proceeded to punch the holes without quoting price. Ended up being $6 which was the max I was willing to pay anyway, so I just let it go. They're cash only and I didn't have any coins on me so I gave him a $10. Him: "no change?" Me: "yes, change" Him: "$1.50?" Me: "$4 " Honestly it felt awkward af. I felt like I should've just pulled out a $5 and told him it's all I got on me lol, the way he didn't even quote me the cost before punching the holes. I think he probably would've respected that.. or maybe expected it. I've went to Pi's before to punch a hole in a strap and the gentleman didn't even bother charging me. I honestly think that people should be paid for their labour, but that no upfront quoting thing and then asking for more afterward really rubbed me the wrong way. The hole punches were fine, so you're able to deal with the way this gentleman does business, go for it!

I NOW have a pair of slippers (first time ever!) custom made sandals repaired after not being able to wear for 15 years, and an old pair of sneakers with a replaced heel. 3 visits, 3 perfect outcomes. Unfortunately, he is not in his 20's or 30's so I hope he stays in biz for as long as I need him...as I'm not young either! Quick, perfect and knows his craft well.

Really wish I read these reviews before taking my luxury boots here! I am truly appalled that this…read moreplace is still in business. I came here out of convenience and will never be back. Do not come here. I dropped off the boots and asked to see what type of bottoms they offered. Shop owner, who barely speaks a lick of English, seemed to laugh at me like I asked a dumb question - "well of course they'd be black". I was referring to the patterns of course! After communicating (with some difficulty) what I was seeking, he took a pen and drew 4 X's on the bottom of my shoes. I cringed a little because these were brand new but thought it was normal procedure for them. After all, these were the black bottoms of the shoes and nobody would see the marks anyway. Then it was time for me to pick up my boots. I did not have my ticket on me which admittedly was my fault, however I did have my payment receipt with the credit card number, date and time on it. Further, I felt that my phone number or a description of the shoes and size would suffice. I was willing to cooperate or provide whatever information they needed. They do not have a bell to get anyone's attention so I was left standing there for a few minutes before someone came to help me. As soon as I stated I had no ticket the staff (another man) got angry and told me I couldn't pick up my shoes. Fine. My mistake. Asked if there were alternatives as it was the end of a long work day for me and I did come by to pick my shoes up on the way home. He grunted "not my problem, you can call the police". Also told me to speak with the owner, i.e. return the next day. The man proceeded to tell me about the time the shop lost $500 because they apparently let someone pick up shoes without a ticket. It would be silly to follow his advice and call the police. I understand that as per their store policy I could not pick up without my ticket. That's entirely within reason. I am also sorry that the business went through such a loss in the past - but I will NOT tolerate rude behaviour. If the man alleged he had been here for 45 years, it scares me to think how many people (and evidently several according to other reviews) he has poorly treated in the past. When I returned the following day (today) I voiced my concern to the owner over how rude and disrespectful the staff was. Again, I struggled to understand the owner but I do know that he did not once apologize for my negative experience. He also referenced the $500 story but frankly, I said I was here to pick up my shoes and not argue further. I'm not entirely satisfied with the craftsmanship either, to be honest. My shoebox also managed to come back with a black scratch on the top and a few punctured holes as if they worked on top of it. It is my mistake for not doing my research before trusting this shop with my beautiful and expensive boots, but now I am writing this to warn others to stay away from this place. Truthfully I regret not coming right away to pick up the boots on the day they were ready for pick up. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
