Thank you Herman!!! So glad I found this place (via Yelp, thank you Yelpers!) as I have multiple pairs of shoes that need fixing. Herman is very talented and runs a nice little shop in Old Town. I think his teenage son was there helping with the family biz, which is always great to see.
I brought several pairs of shoes that were almost beyond repair, and he fixed them up so nicely! He put a new heel on a pair of high-heel boots, cleaned and polished a pair of brown boots, put a new zipper on a pair of tall black boots, and did a total restoration on my boyfriend's leather shoes. I dropped everything off on a Thursday afternoon and they were ready the following Thursday. Everything looked great upon pick up, but I was most impressed by the restoration of my boyfriend's shoes. Check out the before/after picture I uploaded - incredible!!
For all four pairs of shoes, I think I paid about $120. Totally worth it! I also needed new hardware for my Dooney and Bourke purse because the rivets for the long strap fell off. He was able to repair the purse on the spot for $10. So nice because I didn't want to leave it there as I use it every day.
5 stars for quality and service, 5 stars for convenience, 5 stars for prices (worth every penny!).
