Description of service

I had a heel come off of one of my few very expensive shoes. I spent hundreds of dollars on them so I was really glad when I found a place to repair the heel for $20.00


Review of Service

It was a great experience. They did it really quickly, in about a day and a half. They repaired all around the heel so that you couldn't even tell it had been damaged. The total came out to less than they quoted because they thought there would have to be more repairs done to the part around the heel to make it blend in. So they charged me less which I thought was pretty great because I would have paid the full amount with no complaint. It was well worth it. The people at the shop were really friendly and honest about everything. Definitely would go back and recommend to a friend. Great alternative to buying new shoes. More people should try and use stuff longer. It's good for the environment.


Tips

Just find a shop or a cobbler who has experience and will be straight with you about what needs to be done and what kind of materials need to be used. I found mine through a recommendation.
