We've had good shoe repair service here twice now. The prices are extremely reasonable, the repairs…read moreare prompt, and the owners are friendly and kind. My husband is very happy with his reheeled boots, and my new shoes fit much better now that they've been stretched to fit over my high instep. The reason I didn't award a fifth star is that I'm not as happy with the repair on a pair of summer sandals. The glue (I think) used is dark and shows up prominently on the exposed edge of the light-colored sole. The sandals were inexpensive to start with, so I might not have bothered to repair them but for the fact that I have a hard time finding sandals that fit well and support my high arches, and I'm currently down to these for casual summer footwear that isn't sneakers or flip-flops, so I'm a bit disappointed that they don't look as nice anymore. The hunt for cute sandals begins anew, but at least I have solid sandals to wear while I'm looking, thanks to A-1 Shoe Repair.

I have seldom had a pair of shoes etc that would fit or could be altered for the leg lengths; so, when I find a pair that does fit I nurse them along for literally decades. To that end I have searched constantly for a good cobbler and found one here. I NOW have a pair of slippers (first time ever!) custom made sandals repaired after not being able to wear for 15 years, and an old pair of sneakers with a replaced heel. 3 visits, 3 perfect outcomes. Unfortunately, he is not in his 20's or 30's so I hope he stays in biz for as long as I need him...as I'm not young either! Quick, perfect and knows his craft well.

Lili explained the process to me completely with cleaning the suede material on my boots and offered a much better alternative of paining it with leather dye and then applying water repellent and sealer to protect the boots!

I didn't want to leave it. I now need to go and break a shoe!
