I brought in my wedding shoes to be stretched, paid $40, and was told they'd be ready Monday. They…read moreweren't touched until I called, and when I finally picked them up the straps were uneven, dirty, and poorly done. After multiple trips back, one shoe was overstretched and now both pairs are unwearable. When I tried to get the mistake corrected, I was ignored, interrupted, and mocked -- even told "all I hear is blah blah blah." Instead of professionalism, I was met with disrespect and left with $260 worth of ruined shoes. I do not recommend this business to anyone who values their shoes, money, or being treated with basic respect.

All of my boots were returned to me fully polished and cleaned. Just a heads up, though, that this business is CASH ONLY.

He accommodates by using a recorded message when he calls to say your job is ready - he must know and does what he can regarding communication. BUT THE work? I bought him two pair of dress shoes that were 20 years old but still comfortable and they came out beautifully.

I have taken several pairs of my favorite boots there to be re-soled, due to wear. I THINK they…read moreactually re-soled the one pair twice because I wore them so much. Not only did they do an excellent job fixing the boots, but they also polished up at least 2 pairs that were really starting to show abuse. Their prices are reasonable. They aren't the friendliest people, but they do an awesome job, so if they don't want to chit-chat, that's totally fine with me. They were even honest about 2 different pairs (brought in at different times) that wouldn't be worthwhile or look very good after repairs. I greatly appreciated that they told me in advance that it wouldn't look good or hold up. They very easily could have taken the boots, fixed them, received the money and not said anything. I don't even know of another shoe repair shop in the area. My mom had been using them for YEARS before she sent me to them, and she was always very pleased with the results and prices.

I think he just figures out a price on the spot. This price is often a bit high. 2. Disorganization - I can relate to other reviews that brought this up. I came to pick up my items. They were not done and he couldn't find them in the abyss of shoes and leather goods. He finished them while I was there. If he needed more than a week just let me know.

One of the bags is of a known brand and he was going to charge more than a new bag would have cost! When I pointed to that and made the decision to not repair the bag he became grumpy. Picking up the second bag a few days later was not a better experience. He literally did not say a word! The repair was done, but in the process his machine must have ripped the cloth lining of the bag... so bottom line fixed one thing and messed up another. I will not be back in the future.
