I brought in a pair of vintage Harley Davidson leather boots that I love but knew would be a challenge for anyone to work on. Not only did he flawlessly install zippers (no easy feat on old, delicate leather!), but he also used jewelry clasps to elegantly attach the decorative chain detail. The result is seamless, sturdy, and stunning. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving are on another level. You can tell he takes real pride in his work. I'm beyond impressed and grateful to have found someone who treats every pair of shoes like a masterpiece. Highly recommend! Shout out to Arthur on the Upper east side.

Total amateurs. Don't even bother with this barbershop that pretends to also be a "watch repair…read moreshop". They have literally a shelf on the right side of the entrance. THAT is "84st Watch and jewelry Repair" as listed in Google. What a joke. Not only did he try to overcharge me (by grossly exaggerating the amount of time he worked on my watch by 12X- his claim of 4 hours versus professional opinion that estimated "maybe 20 minutes"), he also stripped one of the screws of my watch as mentioned by other previous one star reviews. He also scratched the face of my watch. In addition young man who attempted to replace my watch band has a serious attitude. He tries to be a good con artist. I could see him pausing every time I asked him a question thinking of just the right answer. Not only is he not professional, but gets impatient if you ask him too many questions. This "repair" shop (barbershop) has a really seedy vibe like some cheap hole in the wall you'd see on 42nd street. The kid is a hyped up, impatient, amateur and nowhere near the kind of professionalism needed to do a job like this. Instead I went to "Alex Jewelry" at 1435 Lexington Avenue between 93rd and 94th Street. It's a real jewelry store with professional people who care about helping you. An absolute pleasure! GO THERE instead and don't waste your time with this joke of a "repair" shop that is just a low end tacky barbershop.

One pair of black dress shoes had a worn-down heel edge, while the other had a detached welt that required repair. I had a wonderful experience working with the owner, Arnold, and the shoe expert, Felipe. From the images I provided showing the shoes before and after the repairs, they quickly assessed the necessary work and skillfully restored my shoes. They replaced the heels on both my yellow and black dress shoes, repaired the sole of my yellow shoes, and expertly reattached the welt on my second pair of black dress shoes. The entire process was incredibly fast--everything was completed in just two days! The shop's location is perfect, right next to the subway station entrance, making it easy to drop off your shoes before or after work at your convenience. The quality of their craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of shoe repairs. I chose this shop after reading a review from a long-time customer who has trusted Arnold for over ten years, and now I understand why. Excellent craftsmanship and outstanding service!
