The man running this shop is not the original. He is rude and obnoxious.

In examining my shoes, he tore off the soles insisting that the whole sole would have to be removed to be reglued. When I dropped off my bundle on Saturday, I also had a leather watch stitched for another $10. I was told to pick up my repairs the following Wednesday after completing a card that included name and phone number. I planned around the pick up day to be in the area of the shop. Not one pair of shoes had been repaired, no phone call to state that but the owner was rude and aggressive when I explained that I didn't want to run up and down the road burning gas on his schedule after he gave me the day to be there. His rudeness started with he was was running a business and his comments ignored my inconvenience. Two other customers came in; one commented to him that there was a tear on his boot that hadn't been there to which the owner was curt; another lady brought in a pair and questioned why he didn't take cards for payment in light of the fact that he requires 50% of the repair and wanted it in cash. They debated back and forth with the woman indicating the safety of not carrying cash and that everyone uses cards. He insisted that it would cost the customers to pay by card. I had already given him $80 for my 50%. When he became as rude as he was with a "you people" comment, I asked him what people; the people who are paying for a service that pays his rent and keeps his lights on. The bottom line is that I did get my unrepaired shoes and my $80 and left. I am in the market now for another repair shop. Could someone get the original owner back here from Florida?

Don't give this guy money upfront if you give him money upfront that means he can't do the job and…read morehe just wants to take your money fair warning !!I hate doing things like this. I hate being a Karen...I usually don't, but this time I have to, so I came here. I had three pairs of sneakers. The guy said he could do the job. I asked, "Are you sure?" He said he'd be able to take the yellow out and that he has a special machine and all this nonsense. Then he made me pay him upfront. I said, "Sure, no problem." I dropped off the shoes there on Wednesday. I went back on Saturday to pick them up, and they looked exactly the same. Before I even got to say anything, he started complaining about how he couldn't do this and couldn't do that. I said, "Okay, understandable. Do I get half of my money back?" He said, "No, you don't get anything back." One of the sneakers also he said he can glue the back part then he said he might have an issue. I said right let me get these sneakers back then he's like no no I got it. If you can't do it properly after I say, let me take the sneakers back. Don't tell me you can do it and then not even do it. It was like A quick pay upfront money grab for him !!! So why would you tell me you were able to do the job if you couldn't do it? Why would you make me pay upfront? One of the sneakers has yellow inside the bubble. He told me he didn't have to go inside the sneaker to get rid of it, that he has a special machine. Complete nonsense. Then you want to pocket the money I paid in advance and not give me anything back--not even five dollars, not even a penny. I'm pissed!!! It feels like he asked me for money upfront, cause he know he couldn't do the job. I'm not coming here ever again ever.!!!! PS he didn't even clean them ! Plus, he's expensive like WTF $70 for what?!!! you didn't do anything. If you did the job correctly, I wouldn't complain about the price, but you did NOTHING !!!

While I choose not to get the leather sneakers done, it is because they are so worn that cost wise it was made clear the proper work that would need to go into fixing them outweigh the cost of buying a new pair, regardless of the fact that the newer made shoes just arent as well made today. I am still thinking about it as a possible investment while I shop for a new pair of sneakers. Meanwhile, I now know where to bring my boots. Note: he is closed on Mondays

Augie's Shoe Service has Sole!…read more I love my husband, but sometimes he can be gloriously oblivious. He came home from the office, settled into the chair across from me, crossed his legs--and suddenly his shoes began telling their story. The soles were practically crying for mercy, while the uppers looked like they had been through a long, hard negotiation with the sidewalk. He mentioned he'd been meaning to go shoe shopping, but hated the thought of giving up the comfort he'd earned breaking these shoes in. That's when I reminded him about Augie's Shoe Repair--the place that brought two pairs of my own "beyond saving" shoes back from the brink. Super wife to the rescue. True to form, Augie worked his magic again. The shoes came back looking remarkably close to brand new. Of course, the soles and heels were replaced as requested, but he didn't stop there. The uppers were refinished, refreshed, reinforced, polished, and even finished off with new laces. It was less shoe repair and more shoe revival. Augie's pride in his craft shows in every detail. He continues to be our household shoe superhero. If he can keep us from buying--and breaking in--new shoes, we'll be very happy soles.
