Last thing I took in was a pair of UGG boots (ok sort of shoes) that had quite a bit of sentimental value and quite a bit of loving ware repairs. The lad at the Hub Shoe Repair stitched them up better then before and at around $16 I was more then happy to have not had to part with $150 for a new pair. But they will fix your shoes, mend your jacket or reimburse your purse for a fraction that would cost to buy a new one.

I always knew there was a store in that corner, but I never even paid attention to the store name. Now it's time for a story, told by yours truly. A week before Christmas I needed, well I wanted a new pair of shoes to wear with my Christmas outfit. I wasn't having any luck finding any new pairs of shoes, so when I went to Target I noticed the shoe repair place and thought it was worth a shot to bring in my favourite pair of shoes and see if they could fix them for me. They did! They were tearing on the bottom because I wear them so much, and they managed to make them walkable again. It was affordable and the service was friendly and efficient.

So I bought some nice leather soled boots, that I felt needed to have a rubber front put on the…read morebottom in order to protect them. I was advised to a few different cobblers in town when I purchased the boots, but State Shoe Repairs was far more convenient for me and I'm oh so glad that I went there. No appointment was needed, I simply dropped the shoes off, the well mannered gentleman said that it would take roughly 30 minutes and to my delight, he was right! If I'm honest, it was a bit less than 30 minutes even and I was happy with the job. 6 months down the track and my leather boots are holding up wonderfully, even if I have thrashed them a bit! I noticed he also does key cuttings and sells the usual shoe protectants and goodies. For service that's quick, reliable and of high quality, if you're a local to the area, look no further than State Shoe Repairs, the gentleman that runs the little shop inside the Target Shopping Center, appears to have years of experience!

Or if you don't mind handing over the dosh, then by all means make this your regular hemming stop, because she does do a fantastic top quality job.

They are not very expensive and are very thorough in their work. Additionally, they are located right next to Marcellina and Blockbuster is just in the next complex over - clean clothes, pasta, and dvds all in one trip.
