Good work reasonable priced. Quick service! Would highly recommend. Very happy with job performance. read more

If you read my previous posts, I loved this place and followed this guy every time he moved or lost his lease or whatever. Anyway, things have unfortunately changed since he wound up on Welcher Ave! You now have to deal with his assistant who speaks little to no English. Difficult to say the least! Concerning craftsmanship, I had new heels put on a pair of dress shoes. I had to return TWICE in 30 days to have the same shoe repaired! On another pair of dress shoes, the sole split from the upper and was repaired. That shoe ALSO had to be returned for corrective work! Extremely disappointed in recent times. read more

I came to the Sole Man with a mission-critical task. Shine my boots, but please get them back to me by the end of the day (if possible). The proprietor (the Sole Man himself!) not only assured me that I could get my boots back by the end of the day, but in two hours if I really wanted. Fantastic! While speaking with The Sole Man, I noticed many beautiful driftwood sculptures in the back of the shop. Turns out, the proprietor is not only a cobbler, but uses driftwood that he collects along the Hudson River to create figurines and "statues." His art is available for sale; all you have to do is ask. I returned to the shop two hours, to find the Sole Man assembling a microphone and hooking up a sound system outside of the shop. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Oh, you know, I'm also in a band and I'm performing later this afternoon." Sheesh. What DOESN'T this guy do? Sure enough, $7 ($5 for shoes) and 2 hours later, my boots looked new again. I was told that the polish used would absorb more easily into the leather and prevent the leather from eventually becoming dried out and damaged. If you're from the neighborhood or heading to the Peekskill Metro-North and need your shoes repaired, I would urge you to support this local businessman, artist, and asset to our community. Grand Central shoe shine guy would love your business, but I'm certain that the Sole Man will do a much better job (for less) and deliver a much more personal experience. read more

Talk about local business, Sole Man is the real deal. Thank gawd he came to town cause there's nothing I know of north of Dobbs Ferry or the city to get shoes fixed. This man does the J-O-B right, when you need it and at good value. Location is perfect for the commuter who's stylin'. Then there's the Sole Man himself. Gotta love this renaissance man who marches to his own drummer. The soulful tunes on the player are hot, the vibe is cool and the service down home. Thanks Sole Man. You're SUPER. read more

A true craftsman!! Fair price for excellent work! It's my go to place for shoe repair. I have used the Crestwood and Dobbs Ferry shoe repair guys in a pinch, only to bring them to the Sole Man to do the job I wanted done..... Don't waste your time elsewhere. Keep this local gem in business. Someone else noted the new location (no so new anymore) but I will put it here for good measure: 745 South Street, directly across from the Peekskill Post Office read more

The guy at the shop is nice but shoes aren't even repaired!!!!!! They didn't call me to tell me they were finished either! read more

Soleman Shoe Repair and Leather Store - They painted it a darker color and didn't even fix it - Shoe Repair Near Me - Peekskill, New York

Look at my photo so you can see that this is not some troll post, but an actual objective critique of workmanship. Nice guy, but not a craftsman at all! Total cost...$165 The rubber heels were not cut flush with the rest of the leather heel lift and there is a gap between the original leather and where the rubber was glued on. The leather stack on the heel lift was not built up correctly and looks like it has been scratched and scraped, not smooth like a professional replacement. The rubber heels were STAPLED! There are also heel taps, but none of these have been perfectly aligned. The bottom pair is the worst...why even bother to put them on if they are in the wrong spot? Oh yea, they are also STAPLED! Missed the original hole where the NAILS go! The topy rubber soles are vibram material; that is where the quality ends. Look at the glue oozing out...a professional would have cleaned this up and not let it be so apparent. Remember: I actually have to wear these in front of people! Also, why is one topy cut straight on but the other one mangled on each shoe? Why does the topy installed on the top-left pair extend so close to the heel? These are Cole Haan's, dude...you covered the name brand in rubber and gorilla glue! Don't let me flip these shoes over and start a review on the other side...These shoes would be an embarrassment to wear, so hopefully I can actually take them to a professional for fixing, but likely they have been ruined! STAPLES, dude??? And I was charged top dollar...I should have taken these to Brooklyn like I had originally intended, but I want to support my hometown businesses. Ahh well, good thing I didn't give him my really expensive shoes! So much for 5 stars...now you all can SEE what kind of work he does! Never again! read more

Awesome guy. Cool shop. Great work. Please note that the address may not be current. He moved from Water Street in November. He is now at 745 South Street, directly across from the Peekskill Post Office. read more

Such a convenient location being next to the metro north and such a pleasant owner. I went to him in a panic on the day of my job interview and he repaired my shoe within an hour for a great price! Will definitely be recommending to everyone. read more

A very nice man! Fixed the strap on my shoe in a few minutes while I admired his driftwood sculptures. Very friendly place with true quality leather workmanship. read more

Great local business with a friendly owner. Did a great job on 3 pairs of shoes I brought in for repair. Support your local craftsman before there are none left. Sole Man is in his new location on upper south street (across from Post Office!!) read more

I had 5 pairs repaired at once, and the soles on 3 pair came apart in less than a year. The place is not cheap and they do a poor job! Also, the store does not keep regular hours. Twice I went to the shop during posted store hours and owner was not there, so I had to make a return trip. Will never return again! read more

On Saturday, I went to Sole Man Shoe Repair to have my summer heels fixed; the turn around time was under 7 minutes. Heels fixed the same day and I was on my way. Terrific service, great price. read more

I write this having not gone to Sole Man yet...but I just want to share that he is open and working at a new location: 606 South Street, Peekskill, NY Dana D. wrote that she doesn't know where it went... That's where it is! I'll be going there later this week! read more

I can't believe I waited so many years to bring my shoes to Sole Man. I am beyond thrilled with their workmanship, their knowledge, their friendliness, their reasonable prices. They saved two shoes chewed by my dog- I was so relieved. They polished, repaired, and replaced heels on two more pairs that still have lots of life in them. A true Peekskill treasure. Thank you Sole Man! read more

..great, he's a great guy, artist, musician and shoe repair...but he's never there and no hours on the window !

Very professional, and kind- He refused to charge me when I needed a handle on a suitcase re sewn after my dog chewed it...He does first rate shoe repair at very reasonable rates. Also has really cool, funky sculptures in his shop. read more

Unfortunately this business is NEVER open. Hours on the window say 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Nope I dropped off boots in early December and have not been able to get them back. Have left notes and telephone messages. Never heard back. Still hoping to get my shoes back read more
