Best Shoe Repair Shop in the Bay Area 3/24/2008

I don't live in the neighborhood. I live in Berkeley. I had just bought a pair of beautiful Italian shoes at Gimme Shoes on Fillmore and then was taking a stroll through the neighborhood and decided to go into San Francisco Boot & Shoe Repair to have some vibram soles put onto my new shoes to protect the preexisting sole. I thought I would spend a few minutes handing over my shoes to the kind gentleman who ran the shop, but instead I spent over an hour talking with him about everything under the sun and moon. I am a young guy, who has his wits about him, and I can tell you that the man who fixes shoes at this shop is no ordinary human being. He is a very wise soul. My conversation with him that evening was absolutely wonderful. I think that the people who write negative reviews about him are just unhappy people, unhappy with their job, with their spouse, with their bodies. These negative people probably eat processed foods full of sugar and tortured animals. These people also probably watch a lot of bad television and have given up their dreams and instead live a life of mediocrity, in which their greatest achievement is slander. I am an acupuncturist and the shoes those Italian shoes I handed over to that man on that fateful day have carried me through some very intense moments with patients suffering in very deep ways. I must go thank that wise cobbler for doing such a fine job with my shoes. And when I do I will ask him to fix another pair of shoes that needs some tender care. So, I would highly recommend him. And I would highly recommend anyone who has worked in a similar trade and run their own shop for so many decades. People like him are a rarity in this increasingly fascist society. Please have a good day. Pros: Great conversation, great craftsmanship Cons: The search for ""low prices"" is destroying the planet. Think about it. And buy American. more
