Skillful and Sensitive

This is a small, older type shoe shop. Although the owner/repairman may not be that friendly, once you start talking with him he tends to open up (soften him with a smile). However and most importantly, he is a SKILLED shoe repairman from the old days. I had a pair of boots I adored but the heel literally had a hole in it. Worse than that, it was one of those softer heels, without a tap. Not sure how he did it, but he like molded some type of heel together - and it is sturdier than it was before. I also took him a pair of sandals with a broken strap and he fixed them up quite nicely. His hours change from time to time but Saturday is a staple (call first). Don't take him cheap shoes - he won't repair them. LOL. He looked at me and said, "how much you pay?!?" I had a pair of shoes from 10 years ago that I loved and tried to sneak them in with some other pairs and he declined to fix them. I guess it was an insult to him because if he is going to take the time to do it, he wants his workmanship to last over the shoe-life. :) Turnaround time and prices are very reasonable (little hint - you can probably talk him down, especially if you have more than one pair). This is a great, reliable business but make sure you smile!
