Bought a replacement snap back but can't sew... so I took it to a tailor to see if they could fix, but I was referred to a shoe repair shop whose machines could pierce through the plastic to stitch back in place. Was ready to give up but went to JK Shoe Repair since I was around the corner... and lo and behold, he said he should be able to fix. Quoted me $10 and told me to come back tomorrow. Picked up earlier today and it looks good as new. Paid the quoted $10 and walked out the door (literally a store front) and was about to get in my car when the owner ran out to give me $3 back... he gave me a discount! I was actually willing to spend the $10 so that was a bonus! Will definitely repeat business when I have shoes to repair.

I was in need of a heel replacement for a pair of timberland boots and took a chance on this guy as…read morehe was close-by and had positive reviews, albeit, only 9. When I reached the door and peered inside, I saw someone behind the counter slumped over, holding their head in their hands. There was a part of me that just felt I should head back and find somewhere else to go but my hindsight is 20/20. As it turns out, he was just watching something on his phone (Yay?). So I fork over the $25 for a double heel replacement and drop off the shoes on a Tuesday and I was told that by Monday it would be done. Even that seemed a little odd seeing as only moments prior I walked in to him doing practically nothing and as far as I could tell he was the only employee there. Monday rolls around and I call, give him my ticket number and ask what the status of my boots are. I'm met with a, "Uhhhh, give me a moment" after a few minutes he asks me what the boots look like, a clear indication that he's completely forgotten about them altogether. I tell him and he goes, "Oh yes, of course. They'll be done tomorrow". I wasn't able to pick them up then but I came in on Wednesday. They looked fine so I took them and left. Fast forward a week and now it's the first day I'm wearing the boots because we got about 6 inches of snow. I go to shovel out in front of my house and dig my car out- maybe an hour tops, and the one heel completely falls off and the other one is already starting to come apart at the seams on the side. WTF?!? I go back to the shop and he tells me, "Oh, no, no, see it's the material on the sole of the shoe that's bad! My heel is good material, your sole is no good! I need to replace the whole thing, I'll do it for $70". Sorry, I know a scam when I see one. You honestly expect me to believe that a seasoned cobbler either.... A) Couldn't tell that simply replacing a heel on a pair of shoes would not fix my issue, B) Couldn't tell right off the bat that entire sole needed to be replaced, C) Didn't have the common sense to reach out and call to inform me of the poor state of the shoes/let me know that the entire sole would need to be replaced when going to fix the heel instead of charging me $25 for something you know isn't going to last or D) Genuinely did not know what the issue really was. None of these are good options but at least one would have be true. And the $70 is not the issue- I would have paid that for the sole replacement if that was in fact what I had originally been told needed to be replaced. It's the fact that I was first charged $25 which, more-likely-than-not, was charged to me knowing that it would not work and that a more expensive treatment would need to be utilized. For $100 I can just buy a new pair of boots. I should have gone with my initial gut instinct and not gone to this establishment in the first place so that's on me. I just want to warn others about this shyster so they don't make the same mistake I have.

This place is worthy of its name because Boris definitely provides quality service. I recently…read morebought a pair of Paige boots on sale that could not be returned. Boots should be above or below the knee & these boots were awkwardly laying on the center of my knees. I brought my boots in to this store to cut them shorter and to narrow them a bit. Boris explained that we couldn't make them more narrow because they don't have a zipper & all the stitching was done internally. I'm glad he didn't try to do something that would ruin my boots just to make extra money. He was able to shorten the boots and they now look custom made for me. His work is of high quality. Please see pics. He is also a craftsman. Boris makes his own high quality knock off designer & artsy bags using only the finest leather. I consider myself to be extremely lucky to bump into his store. Boris now has a customer for life. I'm so glad he was able to do me the favor and have them ready for me the next day so I could bring them on vacation with me.

So, I've been bringing in my Rockport shoes to get the soles re-glued and a shine. After about two…read moremonths, the soles need to be re-glued again, and I get them shined. Same price. No acknowledgment that maybe the glue they use is defective. Two months later, same thing, the soles need to be re-glued and I get them shined. Same price. So, after that I decided three strikes, you're out. They need to be re-glued again, so I went two doors down to the hardware store and bought my own glue and did it myself. A lot cheaper.

I was choosing between 2 places and figured try this out and if it is salvaged, I could wear these hopefully for more seasons to come. He was a bit backed up so they were ready after a week since I said I wasn't in a rush given then 75 degree days in Nov!!! Anyways I'll update w how they look or last after the season but first impressions i am thrilled w the craftsmanship. I really wanna support a local shop and it was a positive experience conversing w him and his wife. Ultimately the work, process, price, results and longevity have to make sense such that I would rather spend on fixing my shoes than buying new ones! I hope to bring more to bring life back to my existing collection.

Being new to the neighborhood and recently breaking a pair of Tods leather boot heels that were not…read moreonly expensive, they also held a lot of sentimental values to me-- I researched all the shoe repair shops on yelp and decided to reach to out Tony (owner) to help with the repair. He was a very kind soul and responsive to all of my concerns while online; when I dropped him off the shoes the next morning, he assured that the repairs will be done right and I wouldn't notice that the heels were ever broken before. A couple of days, I pick up the shoes and Tony was right! I even waited a couple of days afterwards to write this review, so that I can test out the "walkability" of the repairs... everything was just right on, if not better than the original manufacturer. We live in a society where when something is broken, we throw away and replace . However, there are something's that hold good memories and too precious to discard. Thank you very much Tony for your repair work and for cleaning the leather shoes too! (see attached pictures)
