I gave the guy with the eastern european accent some hiking boots to get resoled. He did a fine job, found a suitable Vibram replacement sole even though the original one wasn't available anymore. Cleaned off the shoes as well and and filled in some gaps so the entire bottom is solid again, no more gaps between the shoe and rubber bottom. I think I turned them in on a Thursday and he gave me a Monday pickup. $70 for the job makes sense with the parts and some labor hours, I paid half up front and the rest when I saw how it came out. Can't say anything about doing pretty shoes here but it will serve for regular patch jobs. No frills operation, you should just get what you need out of it.
Pros: Downtoan location, fast drop off pickup
Cons: You won't feel catered to like in a department store, just ask for what you need.
