My shoes are ruined. I dropped off 2 pairs of wedge sandals. The heels and soles needed to be…read morereplaced. One is fine, but a little messy. The other pair they decided to repair something i didnt want touched and was disgussed. They glued a new insole that didn't match and is for a closed shoe to the insole that is very visible. The leather is also now darker than it was and doesn't match the zipper fabric. I don't know why they touched the insole or colored the leather. Also, the prices are astronomical.

The insole could be replaced, but the straps were worn; and for what they cost and the years she wore them; she got her moneys worth.

I had a knee replacement operation and as a result my foot swelled up causing my favorite Clogs not to fit any longer. Bought the shoes at Pegasus Shoes in New Paltz for $250 excellent for working in.

George is an angel! He meticulously and conscientiously restored my leather bag to the elegant and…read moredignified look that it had when it was new! The bag had well over a decade of use, as well as nostalgic memories too. I had an accident a few months ago when an unexpected gale force wind threw me 15 feet from the sidewalk into the street and into the path of oncoming rush-hour traffic. I was clutching my bag at the time but it was ripped away by the strong wind and suffered damage. I survived but needed an emergency hip replacement --and the bag survived too thanks to George who repaired the holes and restored the leather to such beauty! What a gift to have a craftsman with such integrity!! Bless you, George, for your exquisite work!!! Amy Neustein, Ph.D. Fort Lee, NJ

My wife found Mr. Maksoud's. At first I was a bit hesitant, but gave it a shot. The place is exactly what I like. Small, the smell of leather and shoe polish that greets you upon entering. Shoes and handbags strewed about. And in the middle of it all is George. Positive, quick with witty retorts, and busy working. He put new heels on a pair of old Cole Haan boots, that I wasn't ready to let go of. George even said they are nice and worth keeping. After about 9 days, I returned to pick them up. The work was great and the price was excellent. 40 dollars. Other places in the area would have charged double. I'm so glad my wife found this place. George also makes keys.

Decades ago there were shoe repair shops in every neighborhoods. It's a dying trade; that takes a lot of skill and talent. They have shoe products such as Meltonian polishes, laces, Barge cement, et al. for sale. They also do tailoring, as well.
