    I got my boots resoled and the experience was amazing! The price was great, and the whole process was very fast. I was able to pick up my boots in 2 days, and the boots looked great and were polished too! Highly recommend coming to JSR for quality work.

    After

    I brought in two pairs of Allen Edmonds that had definitely seen better days (one even had a hole in the sole). Enter Romi. Not only did he bring them back to life, but he clearly took real pride in his craftsmanship. You could tell he was genuinely excited about the job and assured me he'd make them look good again. The results were exactly what I was hoping for. The shoes look fantastic, feel sturdy again, and are ready to hit the NY streets. On top of that, the pricing was very fair for the quality of work done with a very reasonable turnaround time. I highly recommend JSR shoe repair if you're looking for someone who cares as much about your shoes as you do. Thanks Romi!

    My office just moved out of 120 Broadway and I went down to see Roman and tell him that I will miss him and feel very fortunate to have his services for a decade. He can do it all when it comes to shoes. The best shoe shine I have ever received was from Roman, and every issue I've had with my shoes he's been able to fix in record time. They come back looking as good as when I purchased them. I live on the upper west side of Manhattan and in the past when I wasn't able to make it downtown, I would go with the local guys in the area. They're all very nice, but the price is double and the work isn't half as good. For so long, he's the only person that touches my shoes. His location is downstairs in 120 Broadway and if you're close, and you wear shoes, I recommend running to him and using his services. You won't be disappointed. Here's the shine he just gave my favorite pair of shoes...

    Amazing, fast service! Made my pair of vintage Frye boots look brand new and fixed the breaking sole. Really friendly service and great value.

    Brought in a pair of extremely muddy shoes and JSR made them look brand new. Highly recommend for efficient and great quality results.

    Good as new!

    So happy I brought my boots here to get fixed. They look like new and they feel great. Romi is skilled, efficient, and his rates are more than reasonable given the quality of his work. You can feel when you talk with him how much pride he takes in what he does. Romi is a mensch!

    I took six pairs of worn shoes, and got them back like new. Rami's personalized shoe service is superior and the prices are reasonable.

    Shoe shine on site?

    Yes. They provide shoe shine and shoe repair on site. Reasonably priced too. I believe it is $7 for the shine. Great service.

What you will find instead is top-notch shoe repair services and quite possible the best shoeshine available on the island of Manhattan -- or pretty much anywhere. Most recently, I took my beat-up, 15-year-old pair of Bruno Magli shoes to be resoled, and the results were stunning. I've had them repaired before with good results in the past, but there was exquisite attention to detail in the contour of the replacement soles; you'd hardly know that they weren't original, unless you know your Bruno Magli! The shoeshine was deep and long-lasting; two weeks after almost-daily use and commuting, there was still almost a mirror-like finish on them. Impressive. The décor and branding wouldn't win any awards, and you don't come here to chat (or to save a few bucks), but the quality of the work could hardly be better.

    Everyone knows that traveling through the Port Authority is about as fun as a colonoscopy without…read moresedation. What everyone doesn't know is how a great shoe shine can completely change your outlook on the day. Most kids grew up being told that no matter what you do in life, make sure you always have clean underwear on. (Which is excellent advice.) Bullet number two on that list should be to always have on freshly-shined shoes. You could roll out of a Dumpster, filthy dirty, and stinking to the high heavens. As long as you have on a pair of shiny black or brown shoes, no one will ever notice. People who take the time to get a shoe shine are in the same class of people who give that extra wipe in the bathroom to make sure their butt is super-clean. They're the people who smile produly at everyone they pass by on the streets because they know how awesome their shiny shoes look on their feet. If you don't believe me, try it one day. Go get a shoe shine and watch how your entire life transforms in front of your face. And no one does a shoe shine better than the guys at Drago. For less than $10 with tip, they will take the ugliest, dirtiest, nastiest shoes you own, and in just a few minutes they will transform them into something that looks better than the day you bought them. They are the best. Trust me when I say there is magic happening in this little pocket of the Port Authority. You just have to discover it in order to believe it.

Often, unless the guy is just THAT good, this leaves your shoes looking only half done. Not so at Friend's Shoe Repair! This clean, comfortable tiny store has a staff that definitely does a thorough job. Usually once your shoes are beginning to shine, that signals the end of the shine. Here, the staff takes extra time to clean the edges of the shoes, they buff several times with several different towels and they make sure they get every nook and cranny of your shoes done before saying "Done!" or "Thank you!". I am really impressed by this place and also impressed that they don't cost an arm and a leg (it was just $3 for the shine minus tip). While I've never used this location for shoe repair, I would definitely consider it if I need shoes fixed in the future. As I got my shine done today, I saw about four customers all come in with shoes to fix, and all of them had a comfortable familiarity with the man who did the repairs, telling me that they've been there before. Repeat business on that scale definitely shows people trust this place. In addition to repairs and shines, this store also sells a variety of nick knacks, some related to shoes (such as heel spur cushions, shoe shine equipment and so on) and others that are not (colored key wrappers, batteries etc.). I'm glad I work right across the street from this place since I know I'll be going back the next time I need a shoe shine!
