    Replaced my heel tips and repainted the heel where they saw chipping! I didn't even ask for that but I'm so happy they did it!!! $14 total
    Ashelley W.

    I walked in having very low expectations understanding businesses have changed since the pandemic and I needed my shoes repaired last minute. I walked in and requested just to have my heel tips replaced and the gentleman behind the counter (John) took my shoes told me to relax and immediately began working on my heels! I was in and out in 10 minutes! I am so pleased with their work and I will be back and will be telling all of my girls to come here!!! Thank you again....good customer service is so hard to find sometimes in this neighborhood...i left happy and excited and relieved!!!!

    Uneven stitching, noticeable holes where stitching was redone.

    I was told by another cobbler that the repair work was completed with vinyl. Marlow Shoes denied this, but generously offered me a refund, which I accepted.

    Tape identifying the shop's work.

    Writing a review on behalf of my mother. She took a pair of clogs to be repaired. Her request was to replace a gold nailhead in the front of the clog. The owner replaced the nailhead with a gold screw that looks nothing like the original nailhead. He also destroyed the wood inside of the shoe making it unwearable. The wood was damaged and nails are sticking through into the inside of the shoe. When my mother picked the shoe up, she showed the owner the damage and he denied responsibility and yelled, "Get the f*** out of my shop." My mother left the shop embarrassed and afraid. Please view photos. There is also piece of tape in the shoe that the owner placed to identify the shoe as his work.

    Straw purse

    I thought it was over for this purse,but marlowshoes made it look brand new again...they even bought the value of my purse up. They fixed the handles and added a nice leather trim Around the bag...they really bought my bag back to life. I know it will last for a very longtime now!

    The cobbler performed a miracle. I had a pair of Dior flats restored. He went above and beyond my expectations. I am very pleased.

    I've had these Dior boots for over 15 years and the wear and tear was really starting to show.

Now I'm stuck driving back to NYC to get them fixed, if they can even save these. I'm devastated. If you can't handle this kind of work, I'd rather you hand me my shoes and tell me to go elsewhere.

    Another entitled reviewer attempted to gain the sympathy of readers with her one-star review by…read morehighlighting the price of the shoes this store allegedly botched with what she believed was a poor resoling job. She weaponized the cost of her shoes to convince us of her credibility as a customer who knows good taste. I'll do the same--but to uplift the excellent work of this small business, which has been here longer than I've been alive. I brought in a pair of Tom Ford-era Gucci boots in good condition and a pair of custom Golden Goose high-top sneakers in need of a full resoling. The Gucci boots, which I found on The RealReal and date back to the late nineties to early two-thousands, needed a rubber sole added to preserve their integrity for as long as possible. The rubber was perfectly cut and blended seamlessly with the leather of the original sole. As for the Golden Goose sneakers, I was nervous. I've heard horror stories from customers who went with third-party repair services instead of the brand's in-store $250 repair option. I took the risk of trusting this shop--because my family has been using it for years--and it paid off. The repair was excellent, every bit as good as what Golden Goose's own service should deliver. In conclusion, to the woman who complained about her two thousand dollar shoes: my two better, cooler, and more fashionable pairs look fantastic. For as long as my family resides in this city, we will continue to bring all our shoes here. Support small businesses.
