I was visiting my parents in AZ & decided to have a pair of boots repaired, rather than buy a new pair. Boris breathed new life into my favorite pair of boots! It is incredible. They look new. I have gone to other shoe repair shops in the past but never has anyone done even close to as impeccable work as Boris. Definitely worth the money spent ($70 because i requested that he do everything possible to make them like new), and a good feeling to reuse what is salvageable rather than contributing to landfill and buying more shoes that only last a season or two. On top of all this Boris is a very nice man from Uzbekistan... loved speaking with him; he is hard-working, genuine and thoughtful.
