Getting to this shoe repair place feels a little like an adventure. My first time here I really did…read morenot like it but it grows on you. It is located in a quiet historic basement of a building called "The Mall", on 474 Central. You can take the elevator or the stairs. The entry to the staircase is to the right of the Mizuki Grill. In the basement, you will find Tiffany style light shades overhead and stained glass pieces along the way. You will encounter a person walking towards you and then notice they are wearing the same outfit.. Oh, it's a mirror. A giant mirror. So just past the mirror is the friendly shoe and purse repair. The quality of his work is great and the turnaround time is very reasonable. It took only a couple of days to get the soles replaced on my husband's shoes. I appreciated that all the shoes for pick-up were conveniently placed in a paper bags so you don't have to carry them out in the open. A nice finishing touch. The downside: He takes cash only. The good thing is that he writes the price on the claim ticket and you pay when you pick your items up.

My mother was a long time customer of this store. She brought in her pair of Italian AGL shoes to…read moreget her shoes resoled and get a new heal. She got busy and forgot she dropped them off for a few months. She then remembered and went back, with the receipt, to pick up her shoes. The store owner was a complete jerk and accused her of already picking up the shoe. She then insisted that she had not. The store gave her shoes away and said they had been there for too long. The store has her phone number and never did place a call to her as a reminder. They just gave away her shoes that are worth almost $400 bucks. A call to remind the customer is a reasonable expectation. They never made a call, gave away her shoes and now they lost a customer. I wonder if the store owner sold them and that is his side hustle.

I went here to see if this cobbler can fix my two Highland Tactical backpacks' zippers. He was…read morehonest with me and told me the way the zippers were built internally, it would be near impossible to replace. He told me to contact the manufacturer to get the zippers fixed or replaced. If they can't do it, he'll try to fix it. I instead contacted Amazon Asurion insurance program instead based on the cobbler's advice and they sent me a full gift card refund for my damaged bag in return that I must ship the damaged backpack back to them which I did and used the gift card refund from Asurion to buy a better backpack by Mardingtop that has YKK zippers. So I appreciate the cobbler's honest opinion and advice. I might come back to this place to see if I can get the soles of my Dr. Martens shoes replaced. Also they close early in the weekdays at 2:30PM not 5PM.
