The shoes I…read morebrought to him were a challenge in that the bottoms were like sneaker bottoms with all kinds of grooves cut into them. Previously I went to a more local shoe repair place, and they refused to do them, saying it was impossible. But for Pro Shoe Repair, it was NOT impossible. In fact, they didn't seem to be a challenge at all. AND he did an excellent job! He sandwiched the lift in between the heel. They look great! The groove cuts of the bottoms were preserved. I am highly pleased!

Today I took one of my new water proof buck work boots I accidentally cut a 3" slice across the toe with a utility knife. I asked if she could seal or repair. She told me yes but it would need glue& stitching to hold the cut together. I really wasn't expecting anything other than an ugly looking repair job. Just picked it up & I was pleasantly surprised. She not only made a nice tight even seal but she even color matched her stitching to my boot. $15 was a very reasonable cost compared to replacing my $110 boots. GREAT JOB CHOE!

After Abbott's in Newark closed, I was at a loss to find someone to do leather repairs. I went to…read moreChoe's with a favorite purse that needed some stitching repaired. We talked over what they could do and I left the purse with them. They did a perfect job. The repair is invisible and I am able to use it again! After that good experience I brought a treasured vintage handbag to them. It is 50 years old. It is petite point on leather and the needlework was separated from the leather. She looked the bag over. She said she could repair it, but suggested I do it myself. She sold me the glue I would need and showed me how to place the glue and clamp the bag. I was nervous, but it worked wonderfully. And, I saved the cost of the repair. I was doubly impressed. First with the repair on my leather purse, then with the honest advice for my vintage purse. I recommend Choe's for leather repair.

Maybe the quality of his work has always been bad, but he has enough customers who don't know any better. Maybe, he is incapable of recognizing how bad his work is. I recently took a pair of brand new leather boots and a pair of lightly used, clean and conditioned leather dress shoes that have satin laces to get a rubber half-sole applied. Not only was the work done extremely unprofessionally, but my boots and shoes were returned dirty and stained. The half soles on the boots are uneven. The bottom surface of the shoes was excessively and unnecessarily removed behind the half-soles on both pairs, but especially the boots. The brand new heel on one boot was even damaged on the corner! The cherry on top were the black stains left on the satin laces of the dress shoes. I can't buy replacement satin laces in the correct shade of green anywhere to match these shoes in case the stains do not come out. When I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked for a refund, I was met with denial, refusal, and responses of, "I don't give refunds, that's how I do everyone's shoes." He took no accountability. He charged me $130. I would not bring anything that you care about here, unless you want to pay to have your possessions mistreated. If he can't respect your shoes, he can't respect others or even himself. Sad.
