I came back from vacation and I realized that I had ruined my favorite pair of sandals. I was pretty desperate and through a friend I heard of this shoe repair store. So, I tried it out. The man wasn't overly friendly, but seemed to understand the importance of these shoes to me. He told me that it would cost $35 to fix. After a couple of days, I came back and he showed me the shoes and they looked brand new. I was so excited and I've been going there ever since. Funny thing is, he's really nice to me now and last time he gave me a discount on fixing my shoes.

I found Superior Shoe Repair listed on Lucky Magazine's website for "Fashion Emergencies", so I thought I would try them out. I had a pair of high heel pointy-toed pumps that needed their soles to be reinforced/rubberized (the part of the sole at the tip had worn down a little, but was not bad at all). I have gotten these fixed at a mall shoe repair place for like $10... not a big deal. I also had a pair of sandals that needed new elastics for the straps.... also not a big deal at all. Or so I thought!!! I was very polite as I pulled my shoes out and explained what I wanted done. The man was very, very rude and acted like this would be some kindof serious shoe operation for both pairs... and he told me it would be $40 for each! I am not cheap but these were easy repairs and I found this insane. He had a huge attitude as if I should not be fixing them at all, or that he couldn't be bothered with this... like it was the rubix cube of shoes. It was really, really weird. I was polite the whole time, and when I asked nicely why it would cost that much, he got super flustered and waved his hands and said "take it somewhere else then"! I bet this shop is great for men's shoes..... but beware ladies! Just go to Rossi's instead.
Pros: Shoe shine for men, probably great for men's shoes.
Cons: Can't do easy repairs for women's shoes. Mean!
