    Over the past year, I have trusted Tony's Shoe Repair in Glenview with my two most favored pairs of shoes that I own. As a person who takes her shoes very seriously, this was a big deal- I don't buy shoes often but when I do, I wear them to the bone- and both of these pairs I was unable to find replacements of anywhere to buy new. Thankfully, Tony's Shoe Repair was able to not only bring both pairs back to life, but also enhance their overall quality that their designer brands could never even try to do! The first pair was a pair of Stella McCartney heels that I had bought pre used in very rough shape, but their structure and shape and height were what I had been looking for forever and are shoes that I can wear all night at a wedding with no pain- the insides where completely shredded and falling apart, the whole structure of the shoe was crumbled besides the outer sole and heel- Tony's Shoe Repair completely restructured and created the shoe above and beyond what I could have hoped. Thanks to Tony's Shoe repair, I will have them forever, and their quality now is better than if I had bought the pair even brand new. The second pair of shoes was a pair of designer boots known for their rugged but very specific and purposeful detailing that retail for around $900 (don't worry I didn't pay anywhere near that, I bought them used) but the soles were completely detaching and there were several signs of wear- the look of the shoe new is supposed to be a "worn rugged edgy" look, which can even be harder to repair and maintain the look of the shoe, but Tony's enhanced the quality, maintained the "cool" artsy look of the shoe, and perfected them. I also embarrassingly completely forgot I had dropped them off at Tony's because I had gone so long without wearing them because of the condition they were in, and they were kind enough to graciously remind me, and even stayed open later for me to come and pick them up. Tony's Shoe Repair operates with such integrity and does only the highest quality of work as well as high quality customer service. They are kind, organized, professional, and genuine. My shoes are better than new, and will last me years to come. I am so thankful to have a shoe repair I can trust!

    Buckle broke they made it so it would not tear up the boot, then mended the strap.

    Repaired my husband's leather jacket so seamlessly, you'd never know there'd been a slash on the sleeve. Repair is holding up very well.

    It's always good to know a quality craftsman who enjoys his work. They're a generational business.

    If you want inconsistent pricing and with fair workmanship then go here. If you understand enough to do a Yelp search, then go elsewhere.

    My elderly friend needed the battery in their watch replaced. Now where, do I ask, does one get…read moresuch a thing done? I headed to Old Orchard Shoe & Luggage Repair, downstairs, by Nespresso. There I found this spot, untouched by time, and an older man was reading the newspaper, and we chatted, until the other older guy came back from lunch. The battery was replaced lickety-split, good golly, and it was just $20. I have a leather purse that I need one of the snaps replaced, and I may have come here 10 years ago to have a hole punched in a leather belt. I better come back here soon and not wait another 10 years because these guys will have retired. Who knows, maybe they're already retired. No-nonsense good service and a good value.

    I felt like Ray is my new best friend. He is personable and kind so I immediately took a liking to…read morehim. First of all, its difficult to find great shoe repair shops and tailors these days. His price was very reasonable to sole my boots. I have been to many places around the city and I am happy that I found someone who charges a reasonable price for solid work. My boots were completed on time as promised! I took a chance that unhappy people leave the worst reviews and I will return to this business and will refer more people to him!! He is a business owner that is worth your respect and support. Please treat him kindly so that he stays in business forever! Ray is one of a kind and a good person. We need our dollars to go to good businesses!
