Whenever I have a leather problem, or anything involving heavy sewing, I know where to take it. I…read morehad a backpack (loaned to one of my Scouts who blew out a seam). When I asked REI about repairing it (I bought it a while back, when REI guaranteed everything for eternity), the customer service rep told me they didn't repair anymore, didn't sell the replacement for the top part, and I should take it to Windy Pass. Windy Pass told me they'd repair it for $65, which was about a third the price of the pack. I took it to Warrick, who cheerfully sewed it for a fraction of the price. No shipping either. Count on him for good work. Thanks.

Got my Iron Rangers resoled at Fred's. Stitching is crooked on the right boot. Response from Fred's…read morewas the stitching will be strong and not impact durability. OK, but not thrilled since it looks bad. I do't wear these boots too often since I have several pairs. i just noticed they also scraped the leather with the stitcher on the same boot. The leather is actually a little thinner now in this spot. The scrape runs parallel to the welt in an area where normal wear would not cause the scrape. In addition, the scrape shows up in a picture I took immediately after the resole. It appears they covered up the scrape with brown polish or another shoe product. They did not mention any of the issues when the boots were picked up by a family member that lives near Peoria. Do not recommend, and I will not use them again.

BACKGROUND My matching leather were showing wear - the…read moreburgundy color had faded in the high traffic areas and it was time to refinish them or purchase new ones. A shop out of Springfield IL was recommended to us. That company turned our burgundy sofas purple! (Barney the dinosaur purple - and I'm not exaggerating.) That company would not make it right! They wanted MORE money to complete the job they were hired to do in the first place. OUR EXPERIENCE We turned to SHOE BIZ, and wow what a difference! Shoe Biz was nice, professional, friendly, thorough, did VERY HIGH QUALITY work and was willing to stand behind their work!! When they saw the state of our sofas they assured me they could fix them - and they did! Our sofas haven't looked like this in YEARS - they look brand new!! - NO KIDDING! We will ALWAYS to go SHOE BIZ in the future!!!! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!!! They matched original color, they were kind and professional, the sofas even have a shine like they had when we first got them.

I get a kick out of reading the hyperventilating reviews from evidently very fragile snowflakes who…read morehave never dealt with small business owners. Sure the guy is a bit quirky and has pure social skills. No he's not your Starbucks barista or Nordstrom's sales staff. Get over it! He does effing good work at a very fair price and he's essentially the best bet to get leather repair done in this town. And as for frustration with timelines and updates, when you visit his shop you'll understand why - they are completely overwhelmed. Again, it's a husband and wife running a very small business. Quit your bitching and be grateful for what you have people!
