Description of service

While I was on vacation my red high heel stileto broke. The heels just came off when I was trying to step over a curb to get into a night restaurant. However ironically there was a shoe repair place right next door with fix as you wait. So all I had to do was go to dinner and when I was finished I could pick the shoe up. Of course I had to sit there with only one shoe, but luckily I wasn't going to dance or anything. $35 repaired the shoe to just about as good as new. The heel doesn't quite match the other shoe, but it isn't noticable to anyone but me.


Review of Service

It was very swift in repairing my shoe. Otherwise I would have either had to go barefoot or catch a cab back to my hotel then back again for the night. So for convenience I give this little shop a ten. Hopefully I won't need the service again, but if I do I would surely use this same shop the next time I'm on vacation here.


Tips

It's pretty much all about convenience for me so the price really wasn't an issue. The shoes were worth way more than the repair cost so overall it was a good deal.
