I gave a honest review several yrs ago on this business however it was not pleasing to the owner…read more Instead of being a caring individual he was even ruder the next time I was in. When you think you're the only shoe repair man in town. As a business owner you have a choice to be a human or a jerk , he chose to tell me he did not want to serve me, my club foot was too difficult for his art. Talk about discrimination , sorry I was not a biker. You did me a favor. Be aware!! Keep it simple for him or he won't be able to do the job!

Randy shows skills of a master at his craft…read more I brought in a tired pair of Wolverine 1000-mile boots that had been neglected for 10+ years, asking him to replace the leather sole with a vibram half-sole. I was not prepared for the absolute show-stopper that he produced. Not only does sole look even better than what I'd expect from the factory, but he reconditioned the whole boot. These boots look better than the day I bought them. For the amazing work he puts out, I'd fully expect to pay double the price. It's obvious he puts in a huge amount of care and attention to each detail, and the professional pride absolutely comes through. I'm moving away soon but I intend to package and ship all my boots to him in the future. He is that good.

You can also get metal taps here! Some shops only do plastic nowadays. Overall, I highly recommend this business!

DISAPPOINTED AND RUINED SHOES. I wish I read the reviews as a saw the pictures before I came here…read more My experience was the same... the soles for a pair of wedges and new heel for my boots didn't match, were crooked, and he shaved off a piece of the sole (he said accidently) and didn't even bother to fix. I'm all for supporting small asian businesses but omg- it looks like an amateur worked on this. I can't believe this is business exists. They originally wanted $100 ($50 for each) for 2 pairs- new heals and slight paint job where the heal was scratched, overpriced in my opinion. This didn't include polish, or scratch removal. They have me 50% off. Botched job that I'll need to get redone.

If zero stars was an option, that would be my rating. I took my (pricey) heels in for what I…read morethought was a simple heel tap replacement. The heel taps were indeed replaced. There was a little bit of damaged leather at the bottom probably as a result of prying off the old one, and the heel tap isn't perfectly centered, but nothing too obvious so I let that go. What WAS obvious however, were two brand-new ink pen marks on the ivory leather. I let the owner know that was definitely not there when I dropped them off (these are almost brand new - see the soles) and he completely brushed me off and refused to take responsibility. I asked if he could get the ink off. He said no, and just walked away, refusing to continue the conversation. I will never use this business again and would warn anybody to stay away, unless you don't care what your shoes look like when you get them back.

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.
