Awesome Service! Just couldn't believe it. After multiple so-so experiences at nearby cobblers I tried Derek's. I started them out with a simple re-heel that they gave me back the next day. I then gave them 2 pair that needed new leather half soles and heels. I got those back in two days and they turned out beautifully! The last project that I gave them was a conversion of a leather soled shoe into a full-length vibram rubber sole. This time I took advantage of their free delivery and 2 days later I got my shoes back. With their 10% off for pre-payment the prices actually turn out to be lower that the other guys I had tried out. These guys get the job done quickly, the quality is top notch, and bend over backwards to serve. They offer curbside service, free delivery, discounts for pre-payment, a web site to check and see if your order is complete, and a nice little shop. Oh, I almost left out... they sell a punch card for shoe shines (10 shines for $30). You only pay $3/shine and if you get one done while you wait they give you a coupon for $1 off a coffee at the Fresh Pot right across the hall in Morgan's Alley! All this and their short turn around times make Derek's a must try, even if you're a regular somewhere else.
