I didn't need a rush job or anything so I picked it up after two weeks, which still feels fast. It looks great and I'm glad I came here.

I wore them so much that the rubber soles began peeling away only a few years into owning them, and I've kept them in my shoe closet for maybe about 9 years since. I finally decided to look into getting them repaired. Michael had done such a wonderful job with replacing my worn-out nomasei moccasin soles, that I came back to see if he could revive my sandals. The new soles he put on have more traction and are much better quality than the original soles, and I'm thrilled to that my shoes that I'm quite sentimental about can be worn again. Thanks Michael!

This shoe repair shop is located inside the Hoyt St. 2/3 station on Hoyt, between Livingston and…read moreFulton. It's on your right, one flight down. As you might expect from anything inside a subway station, it's a little grimy in here. It's a tiny little hallway of a shop, it's wildly crowded with all sorts of shoe paraphernalia, and it looks more like a hoarder's closet than a place of business. Surprisingly enough, there are actually TWO businesses working out of this tiny space. There's a Chinese guy repairing watches, and also a Hispanic dude repairing shoes. I have yet to get my watch repaired here, but I can report that the proprietor of the shoe repair shop (not sure if his name is Pyon) takes pride in his work. He took my old, broken down boots, and resoled them wonderfully. Check out the before/after photos. He even shined them up, AND switched out my old grimy laces. I don't think that's standard, they probably just offended his sensibilities. In any case, my boots look like new now, and while it wasn't exactly cheap, I'm grateful for the quality work. I'll be back.

NOTES: cash only…read more This is the real deal. A miracle worker with shoes. I wish I could give this little place a gazillion stars. My husband's favorite old chukka boots were in bad shape. The leather soles were cracked on both shoes, cracked beyond repair. I thought he should just toss them (or chuck them - see what I did there). But...Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, so.... $45 bucks later and the chukka boots were brought back from the dead! This little wonder of a shop reconstructed them and they now have a whole new life. They are basically rebuilt! More Notes: -Do NOT loose your ticket (take a photo of it the second you get it). -Don't be in a hurry to get your shoes back. -Give it a couple weeks.

I learned he is from Uzbekistan, and we talked about food. He is hard of hearing, so some reviewers might not have realized that. It can make communication difficult. SPEAK UP! He's a peach.

When I picked them up, both boots fit perfectly. He did an amazing job and thought that the price for the repair was fair.
