These things were beat to hell. The Panama soles were basically gone and missing a brass grommet on a vent hole of one boot. One week later the brass gromet has been replaced, a new ripple sole installed, and a spit shine was put on as a finishing touch. I'm impressed! I'll be proud to wear these old veterans around Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and Pearl Harbor in the summer of 2026. Thank you!

I am not an easy customer because each pair of boots has its own unique issues.. I have confidence bringing my boots here, which says a lot. I need someone who knows how to refurbish rebuild repair and someone that can tell me if it is even worth putting the money into. These guys have consistently helped me out and I recommend them as the best cobblers in Fayetteville NC.

Took shoes in to get a quote/inquire if he could help polish my shoes cosmetically in order to make…read morethem match in color better. To take credibility, I botched my own oiling job and wanted an experts help. He was thoughtful in the aspect he tried to problem solve on the spot. However, proceeded to not ask permission and took a metal wire brush to oiled leather and scratched the grain integrally. Again, not suede, but leather shoes... Oiled leather shoes. Common sense it scratched the leather....he did it so quickly that I didn't really have time to stop him. Almost like he had a thought of "maybe this will work", and impulsively did it. These are now permanent cuts along the top of the shoe, that weren't there previously. Didn't charge me anything but ruined a pair of $140 shoes physically when I just wanted to see if I could get the color to match. Very odd interaction. Awkward pause after he scratched them up. Then did not offer to even try to buff them out or oil them after obvious scratches he'd created...I didn't ask for restitution at the time because I thought I'd be kind and go home and try to buff them out myself since he didn't charge me. Follow up on my part: tried to darken the lighter shoe to match the darker as originally planned. Even though I had succeeded in that, the streaks he had created persist through leather. 2 month old shoes were ruined in the two minutes he handled them. Perfer to support small businesses always. I have NEVER EVER taken time to leave a negative review on a locally owned business, but this was just THAT bad of an experience. Maybe just a bad mishap, but I personally can't recommend. I urge others to agree on what methods he will use before you give him possession of your items. He made an ammeter common sense mistake. Edit/Update: called to see if he could atleast attempt to buff out the scratches HE created. Very aggressively hung up without a conclusion. Only comment he said was, "you were there and saw I tried"....yes I saw him damage my item...Reached out via email to see if hopefully I can reach resolution. Will delete review if a resolution can be met. If this review still stands, you can assume he ignored me like on the phone. Just be careful if you use his services.

I dropped off two pairs of OCPs for Selection to get the Engineer tape sewn on. When I got my two…read morepairs of OCPs back, one pair was the wrong size. The dude argued with me that I gave him two different pair and that "it couldn't be their fault" and that I was "stuttering and stammering" so I had to be lying (I'm paraphrasing with my quotations). His "meet in the middle solution" was he would give me the right size but I had to pay for the sewing. To me, it's about the principle. I have so far given them four OCPs of the SAME size and now I have one that is smaller than my original. Still fits me, but it really is the principle to me.

The quality of repair is better than I have experienced at any other shop in town. Willing and capable of fixing any and everything from the cheap pair of shoes that you love and wearout often, to the really expensive, intricate pair that you might be nervous to trust someone with repairing. Incredible leather knowledge and workmanship. Many of my girlfriends will only take their designer bags here for cleaning and repair. It's our go-to for resoling my fiancée's dress shoes as well. Highly recommend this place!

I showed him what had to be done and asked if it was possible for them to do it. I repeated it has to be cut out and Velcro added to other section. He said he could. Pay up front $42. Since just adding Velcro should only cost $10-20 I assumed he understood the technicality. I wanted them for a trip. I picked them up and when I tried them the next day I realized he hadn't listened to a word I said and just added Velcro to the overstretched strap. In fact they were even worse and totally unwearable. I was so disgusted I kept forgetting about it. There are signs in every inch of the shop that say absolutely no refunds. So why bother going into speak to him. I'm always struggling for money and don't want the aggravation of their arrogance. So maybe if it's leather? Anything else complicated you will be screwed
