Mike did a great job fixing my daughter’s winter boot for a reasonable price. He even called me to discuss details and get my approval before he finalized his work. Personal contact with Mike created a nice and pleasant experience.
Mike has fixed shoes, boots and a leather belt for me, and always does a great job. He has lots of work so turn around is usually a week but worth the wait as his quality is excellent.
I'll be brutally honest, especially in light of the more recent reviews.
I've been a patron for 4 years, having my work boots dyed black, polished and repaired. For leather work boots - Mike excels.
Shop wise... Crazy. Insanely. Chaotic (Reminds me of my old Italian cobbler, who had shoes dating back 50 years on his shelves). Due to personal issues and becoming more well known, he is extremely backlogged (2+ years for me), he either needs a helper or stop accepting new work and just grind through what he has now.
But he's old school and from the old country - there likely aren't too many kids these days interested in being Cobblers - with the same attention to detail and workmanship.
Bottom line: Great place with fantastic quality. But currently the wait time is nuts, be prepared to wait a looong time. Do not go if this is a rush job.
Brought in a pair of boots I needed dyed black for a dance performance within a week and he did a fantastic job! They turned out perfectly! It was done quickly and for a reasonable price. Great service and quality - I will definitely be returning for any other alternations or repairs in the future and will be recommending to friends.
I have a pair of almost $500 cowboy boots, brought them in to have a repair done, price was great! I told him no rush, and he did the repair! It was absolutely fantastic. My boots were pretty beat up as well, went in and they looked like new, like they had never been worn before. So pleased! I will most definitely be back, as well as I will be recommending him to others.
