The red faded away, the leather was wrinkled and one of the heels had come off from the seven years of wear and tear. Anyway, I picked my boots up today and they are good as new: clean, bright red, heels intact with new laces. The repairs cost me $45, which is a very good deal because the other places I looked into were charging me $60+ for the same work. The service was prompt; I dropped it off on a Friday before Labor Day weekend and it was ready by Wednesday, just as he had promised. I can't wait for sweater weather so I can play my looks up with these babies!

This has been my go-to shoe repair location since 2019. I can always count on Luis Jr and his staff…read moreto do a great job on my shoes to make them look like new. I've raved about this place so much that my mom and sisters have also been coming here for the past two years. The prices are reasonable and the attention to detail is impressive. Luis Jr will even let you know if it's worth it to repair your shoe or buy a new one. He has worked on my leather boots, suede shoes/boots, leather sandals and man made sandals. The work speaks for itself. Just take a look at the recent repair job they performed on my suede shoes and see for yourself. Run, don't walk, to Luis & Son Shoe repair if you're tired of lackluster service elsewhere. They're located on the same block as the Kings Highway stop on the Q train in Brooklyn.

Edward's is super reliable, can repair and make even the worst looking worn shoes and boots brand new. They took a friends favorite pair of boots back from the dead to make them look like they came out of the box for the first time. They don't only work on shoes! They work on watches, belts and other basic items. They have a can do attitude and are up to almost any challenge. Brought them a new bullet resistant vest carrier hitch needed holes made to hold a badge. It was critical that this be done correctly as any tear to he material could result in the vest carrier not helping the vest offer proper protection in stopping a bullet or knife. They did a perfect job and it looked like it came that way from the factory. I would highly recommend Edward's as they are being a neighborhood gem! They offer good prices, great service and are reliable. Worth a trip from anywhere if you want it done right.

The Ferragamos had a damaged heel and some cosmetic scuffs in the black leather, while the McQueens looked fine on the surface but had soles so worn down that water seeped in whenever it rained. Romy managed to fix both pairs so they look and function like new. I'm thrilled to have my two favorite boots back. It was absolutely worth the money: he repaired both of my shoes, which retail for several hundred dollars, at just a fraction of what it would have cost me to replace them new.

I found him thanks to Yelp, and noticed he was local to my home and quickly reached out regarding my unfavorable damage to my vintage LV wallet. This 2004 coin purse wallet combo has seen better days, and when my wallet was rejected for repairs from the original source, I didn't want to give up on it. Paul asked me to send pictures of the damages so he could quote me properly due to the amount of work involved. We agreed on a price and even the amount I had to leave for deposit wasn't an issue. He wanted to make sure that I would trust his judgement and value his work. Paul said to give him a week and he delivered it to me in 5 days time! Be sure to always ask him what the store hours are, as he unfortunately is experiencing flood damages to his work space. How he was still able to fix this wallet for me in such dire conditions, I'll never know. He's chatty and friendly, and could use more foot traffic as this kind of work is clearly dying in the industry. He seamless repaired my coin purse compartment that kept leaking coins all over my bag, as well as the bills compartment that was fatigued. The work is perfect; beat that 5th ave! If you have a beloved leather good or wallet like me, be sure to reach out to Paul. I know that I will have this wallet for many more years to come!

Went home and called the shop at ~1:30pm. Owner answered in Russian asking me why I didn't call him - as if the shop only opens when a customer calls - and why I didn't deposit my boots in a locked box at the entrance. I'm not about to leave my boots not knowing if they are repairable! I asked if the shop open now - was told to call back at ~2:30pm. I called at 2:42pm, didn't recognize the voice who answered, asked again if the shop is open - in English - and got yelled at for speaking English! Was told not to play games (!) and not to be rude (for speaking English!). Naturally, I hang up and will not place any orders with this so called business. PS. Seeing response to my review insulting me for trying to give them business confirms this is a nasty place, totally unprofessional. I do NOT recommend anyone to deal with them, ever!

My shoes are expensive and I take good care of them. He pointed to some scuffs and said he would need to use dye. I trusted him. He completely dyed both pairs, very different colors from what came from the factory! They are ruined. I chalked it up to being my fault for not pressing it further. So, I did go back to have other 3 other pairs shined. I was very specific - JUST A SHINE. He said they needed to be dyed. I said, "No, just a shine". He actually did that this time, but charged me $25 for three shines (no idea how you evenly divide $25 by 3!). $8 for a shine is much higher than Manhattan prices. He is money hungry and his work is marginal at best. No way I am ever going back. Try the guy on E16th and Quentin, next to the train station. Much fairer.
