I have had several items repaired by Dale (the owner and only employee) in the past year; a pair of…read moresandals by Tory Burch, a pair of sandals by Brighton, and a coach purse that I asked Dale to reconstruct for me. All turned out perfectly and were finished on time within budget. His shop is adorable, clean, and quaint (once you get inside) it is like a trip down memory lane of the diving experience that he had earlier in his career - he even has his original dive suit and helmet on display! It's a little challenging to get to and the outside is a little older looking, but don't let that deter you, you wouldn't want to pay for an expensive locations overhead! You can buy your Fedora hat or any other type of Tommy Bahama type hat you are interested in for the beach :-) Dale carries a ton of shoe maintenance products as well as orthotics and shoe inserts - for shoes, if you need it, he probably has it! Dales smile and kind demeanor is welcoming and he exhibits the kind of customer service you don't see a lot anymore. He stays late when I tell him I can't make it there by five so that I can pick up my items and his work is quality and reasonable. I truly recommend this cute little repair shoppe!!

He directed me to one style which was on sale, gave me some other options, and then brought out some sandals when I asked. The women there was also helpful, in that she said that she had several pairs of the ones that were on sale/discontinued. I ended up buying 2 pair! They are so comfortable and well made that I am sure that I will get lots of wear out of them. Now it's time to get rid of a few old pairs!! Great shoes and the people there couldn't have been nicer!
