I was so sad to think I was going to have to throw away 5 pair of my favorite shoes. Then I read the YELP reviews for Central Shoe Repair and I thought I would give them a try since so many people wrote about the miracles they perform. I CANNOT believe the results. My shoes look brand new. I am stunned. I mean I had 2 pair where the actual pointed tip of the shoes had worn through and somehow they repaired them and you cannot tell where the old started and the new begins. When I called to tell them how thrilled I am the gentleman who answered told me it was him who had done the work and he told me he is third generation craftsman and it is more important to him to do exceptional work than to run bunches of work through his shop. I just can't believe that people like this still survive in this world of more is better! Thanks to keeping the dream alive that great craftsmen still care! Thank you to Nerrick and Bella.
