    What a REFRESHINGLY AWESOME service experience!! I have been here several times over the years but they do not know me. Walked in with my favorite pair of Merrill's on and asked about re-stitching since the soles were coming apart. Learned that the stitch was not all the way through so not much they can do. THEN, he take my shoe back and works on it to glue all the loose seams for me. Then he does the other one. After a few minutes of shoe shop magic, I wear them out and the shoes look great. Now, you have an even more loyal client!!!!! Merrill does not make this shoe anymore and it is the most comfortable pair of casual shoes I own. Thank you for breathing more life into my shoes so I did not have to go buy new ones.

    See all

    I had worn my favorite shoes out. He replaced sole and heel and spiffed up the inside. I am so happy!

    I finally found a shoe repair place to give some of my favorite & vintage shoes some TLC - new…read moresoles, polish/shine & one pair of shoes getting reheeled. I thought I was clear on what I wanted when I dropped off my shoes, yet didn't receive what I anticipated at pick up. Especially on the polish/shine aspect & was told when I came back that was an additional service. Not much to do about it as you have to pay upfront. I didn't have the bandwidth to banter with the owner or dispute the charge with my credit card company due to the unsatisfactory & non-transparent services. Hence the 1 star for the un-finishing product at $90 & will not return here for further shoe repair needs.

    A faithful, loyal customer has been lost for this business. After writing a 5 star review and a few…read moreyears of good service, this relationship is now tarnished. The service kind of slowly, steadily started to decline with the new owner, Danny. He was keeping up with demand at first but life happened. I do not know any personal details or anything that may have happened, if anything happened at all, but there were several times that the store should have been opened but they were closed. I would call, and get no answer or call back. I let all of that go, fully understanding things happen. And Danny did recruit a friend/family member to help him in the business as he was away for several weeks. Below details where all bets were off. I dropped off a leather briefcase where the top portion of the bag was starting to separate from the reminder of the bag, needing restitching, glue, etc. It was still in tack, but starting to tear/come apart. I described the issue went over the bag to see if anything else was a problem per usual, received a ticket with an estimated pick up window and left the bag. It was trying to retrieve the bag that was the problem. I went a total of 4 times to pick up my bag, and there was always a problem. It was either not ready or could not be located. One person blamed the other stating, "...he was working on it.." I waited patiently as this was over the course of 2 months. It was estimated for pick up in 1 week. Showing up in person, led me to me leaving without my bag 4 times and with empty promises, making me do more work, like "...can you come back at 6pm?" I am here now and it should have been ready a month ago. Danny even promised me on the 3rd visit that, since he could not find my bag, that he would bring it to me, personally delivering to me since I was not too far away. He said he would text me around 5pm when he was on the way. I never received such text and he never came. 4th visit to retrieve my bag; they both were there (this is earlier this week by the way). Danny saw me, said hello as he was talking to another customer. I was friendly and polite. Mind you, I am not really upset at this point, a bit disappointed but still understanding. I just want my bag and in better condition than I brought it because that was the agreed upon arrangement. Danny took some kids out and quickly excited before servicing me but telling me that the other guy was there; not mentioning anything about the missed connection. The other guy stepped from behind the back wall with all bag news. My bag was not only not finished, but it was broken. The interior rod inside the handle piece to make it steady/sturdy to carry was broken into 2 pieces. That is not how I dropped it off. He then proceeded to state that it is how he found it, insinuating that I had broken it. I was A PAULED (intentional misspelling). I stayed calm, rather trying to figure this out. I am looking at the wooden rod; it is broken with splinters, like one would take a tree branch and snap it, not an even break but more torn with wood splinters. It looked as it was intentionally done. And I had to wonder for a second, did I cause that? But came to the conclusion that was impossible because I carried the bag in by the handle, per usual, and it was sturdy in the handle, meaning it was intact and not broken. This guy giving horrible customer service then proceeds to tell me that I need to go to a hardware store and find a replacement piece. Come again? Yup, he told me to go to the store and replace the piece and then he could fix it. I think that is when I started seeing red. Did this mf-er tell me to go get a piece that he broke, after blaming me for breaking it? Mind you, it is a custom piece that was cut, measured for this bag and had notches carved into it for hooking into the bag for sturdiness. You want me to do what? I then proceeded to let him have it. I stayed cool, because I am a cool guy, but I let him know he was completely in the wrong, rewind this interaction play by play from when I brought the bag, how many days I waited past when it should have been ready, how many times I had to take time out of my day to come up here, how I am a regular customer dropping off multiple pairs of shoes over the years, referring customers and writing a 5 star review. How dare you? At this point, he is trying to cut me off from talking as if trying not to hear it, or learn this lesson. Now he is trying to state that I am right, asking for MORE TIME with the bag. No! Run me all the pieces to it. He retrieves all the elements (handle, gold buckles, etc.). I add this to the experience letting him know that I brought it in as 1 piece, it's leaving in 10. Lastly, he kept repeating that he text me about the issue. We went through msgs, there was no such text. SMH. I may have paid in advance, I don't recall but it will be the last $ I spend there and I warn you all to proceed with caution.

    If I could give zero stars, I would…read more I visited this shop about three weeks ago to have the heel tips replaced on a pair of heels that were in good condition. The owner quoted me $15, completed the repair in under five minutes, and I left thinking all was well. Unfortunately, one of the tips broke the same day. I had no backup shoes and had to keep reattaching the tip just to get through the day without ruining the heel. A few days later, I returned to have it fixed. It took him two tries with different tips to get one to fit. Since it was now obvious that the two shoes had different tips, I asked him to fix the second shoe so they'd match--he did. I didn't wear the shoes again for a week. The next time I did, the heel broke again. This time, the heel itself split, making the shoe unusable. I returned to the shop the next day to explain what happened and to see if it could be fixed. Instead of listening, the owner abruptly stopped working on the shoe and told me to go elsewhere, raising his voice and refusing to help me further. I was shocked by his reaction and tried to explain the situation to another employee, but the owner continued yelling even as I tried to speak with someone else. A woman came out from the back and tried to mediate, but even she was interrupted by the owner shouting over our conversation. He inaccurately told her that my first visit was two months ago (I had a receipt showing otherwise), and when I tried to clarify, she told me he was upset because I questioned his work and blamed the issue on the shoes themselves. I explained that I wasn't trying to insult anyone--I just wanted a working repair or a refund. I was offered $7. I wouldn't recommend this shop for repairs or service. Based on my experience, both the workmanship and the way customers are treated leave a lot to be desired. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere.

    I typically read the reviews before using a new repair shop. However, I had a simple repair and…read morethought it would be easy to have my local shoe repair shop do the job. I went to check on my shoes and they were no where to be found. The people working there acted if they had no idea where to find my shoes. Even after describing the shoes they started looking through a pile men's shoes. These guys should not be in business!!!
