I had worn my favorite shoes down to the pavement, and was in baaaaad need of sole and heel repair. Being used to paying around $15 for such service, I was shocked to say the least when the owner of this shop told me it would cost me more than twice that. He explainied that he used only the best quality products and that the new heels would last me far longer than any cheapo heal fix. I was skeptical but desperate, so I agreed. I was very glad I did. He was right. The quality of the repar job was exceptional and well worth the money. They loked like new. The shoes were probably at least 5 years old when I brought them in and I have so far gotten 3 more years out of them, and the heels have not deteriorated! I am hard on my heels and they always wear down, but his heels stood up completely to additional wear and tear. I was very pleased. Yes, the man is gruff to some degree, but he clearly takes great pride in his work and I would never hesitate to seek him out again. In fact, I now have another favorite pair of favorites that I need to have repaired, and while his neighborhood is no longer convenient to me, I will be making the cross-town trek to this shop because I only trust him with my favorite shoes.
Pros: Quality of repair is outstanding
Cons: Pricey but worth it; gruff shopkeeper
