I was referred to Central Shoe Repair by the only other person in the world who might (*might*) like shoes more than I do...
It was a late night in the office when suddenly, out of no where, I broke a heel on my favorite pair of black booties. I hadn't broken a heel since homecoming sophomore year of high school...and my little booties were not going to just take to some epoxy like the shoes in high school did.
First of all, the heel wasn't just broken off...it was splintered in the middle, so I knew it was going to be a little difficult to attach.
When I took it to a shop near my house they said: "No, absolutely not, we can't do anything about that."
What?? My precious shoes! So then, I went promptly to Shoes on Central (as I should have done from the beginning) and hoped that they would be able to fix them. Bella wasn't sure, but she took it in the back and had her husband look over it. Thank goodness; they were able to fix them! They were going to have to order a whole new set of heels and reattach them, but they could do it!
The quality of work was amazing--the shoes looked phenomenal. My only complaint was that they took about two weeks longer than they said they would (and so my shoes missed out on an Irish adventure--as this was the spring I went to Dublin), but ultimately the work was so well done that it was worth it.
I really just need to trek all of my shoes that need touch-ups over there ASAP.
