Testimonials

• “Last of his kind! Does great work for a fraction of the cost of new shoes.”

• “While on a trip… I stopped in to get my closed-toe Birkenstock’s resolved. The gentleman in the shop kindly greeted me and said he could have them done in 3 days. I asked for a two-day turnaround, and I offered to pay extra. He told me it would be no problem and at no extra cost… He went the extra mile by shining up all of the leather and repairing the cork cushion where my stride pivots. This guy is incredible, his work is perfect, and his prices are great.”

• “I had a pair of shoes from high school that needed to be resolved. These shoes were from the ’70s and in great condition. The man behind the counter was very knowledgeable and could give my shoes a new life.”

• “Such a nice owner. He did an awesome job on a leather handbag. I’ll definitely go back.”
