Long story short - I lost the heel of my favorite pair of well-worn boots - a decade-old pair of Coach leather riding boots that were in otherwise excellent condition. I brought them in tears to Edgewood Shoe Repair thinking they could never be fixed and it would be like losing an old friend. Two days and seven bucks (SEVEN BUCKS !!!) I had them back in absolutely perfect condition, and with a free shine thrown in ! They looked as good as the day I bought them. I honestly can't tell that it had any work done on it at all - the friendly, welcoming shoemaker's skill is THAT good ! I'm now going through my closet looking for other shoes that I thought were goners as I just know this magical man can bring them back to life as well. Can I give more than five stars ? Truly a hidden gem in Edgewood...
