The quality of the workmanship is fantastic. I brought it several pairs of heavily worn heels that were all repaired wonderfully. I was very pleased with the results and the work was completed quickly. While there is a language barrier, the service is still 5 stars!

Took my favorite pair of leather boots for a much-needed heel replacement after they had worn through to the underlying plastic heel. He offered same-day pickup for a very reasonable price (35). Very well done repair, and the boots were polished and shined! There is a language barrier, so I would recommend sticking to basic shoe repairs where it is very clear what you need.
While Yuri appears to be a nice older man, I believe I was very much snookered. I had two pairs of heels that needed to be mended. Both needed toe reinforcement and the heel tread replaced, in addition to one pair needing a portion of the heel leather redone. He charged 100 cash for this work ahead of time. While he did the work quickly, I showed up and he had replaced the full tread on both of the shoes, without asking, which he then told me was going to cost me an extra 25. In addition, on the one pair of heels the heel tread was replaced in tan but the sole tread he placed was black, so the shoe was mismatched. When I said they should match he replaced with black, but didn't have the right size heel tread so he had to shave them down to align with the heel. To this he said it was \better quality\, but having worn heels for more than half of my life, I know that he just didn't have the right size and its now left the heel treads rough and jagged. The work was not well done and I did not appreciate being charged more for something that was not agreed upon.
Fixed a piece of hockey gear on the spot. Old school experience. All other shoe repair needs 2-3 days. This gentlemen repaired it on the spot and by hand, no machine. 40 years of experience and it shows. Thank you. 9/12/19 - Had to repair the hockey gear again. But, this time, he was cold as ice and didn't want anything to do with it. I thought I had a reliable source for hockey repair. But, apparently, he must've not enjoyed repairing it previously and declined to fix it.
He did awesome work. I brought in beat up, worn out scuffed and scratched men's shoes and he brought them back to life. Stitches the soles, resoled the shoe, worked out all the scuffs and scratches. They look great. Dropped them off on Friday and they were done on Monday. Really exceeded expectations. I wish I'd taken a before picture so I could show before and after. I'll definitely come back with any shoe repairs I need.
