Not a very experienced cobbler.
First experience: Dropped off a pair of boots to have rubber Vibram soles replaced. Never received phone call of completion and to come pick up. When I did eventually go by there, the boots were ready but the soles were now 1.5 inches thick!!! They looked like platform shoes. There were scuff marks on the boots from the repair process and the boots looked worse than when I dropped them off. Every shoe repair place I have ever used in the past has always cleaned and polished the pair before returning.
Brought a pair of pants that belt loops were coming unstitched and needed hemming and reinforcement of loops. After I picked them up, hemming was uneven and 1 belt loop was still unattached. I had to go back and have it redone. I would not consider having him do my expensive dress pants and jeans so I had to go take them back before they were done as poorly as the other pair. Poor attention to detail and lack of care for his work. Go somewhere else.
Second experience: I felt like giving him a second shot (only game in town). Dropped my favorite pair of black loafer to have new rubber soles. Again he never called when they were ready. When I went by there the shoes were ready and like before were dusty and had scuff marks on them from the repair. And again there was this thick one inch sole on my shoes. They also weighed about 3 times more. We had a discussion about the soles and the quality of work and he agreed to redo them. On the redo he never called when shoes were done. Soles were better but not what they once were and shoes are still very heavy compared to what they were.
had a brand new leather laptop sleeve converted to velcro to a snap button. Liked the work done but the gentleman made a clearly visible scratch on the new sleeve. Even after I noticed it, while he took it behind the counter to fix it, it was returned to me basically unaltered. I still paid the 10$ he charged, which I shouldn't have. A proper business would not have charged me after the damage.
Very disgusting place. Roaches climbing everywhere and the machines are nasty. The dryers do not dry your clothes and don't bother mentioning it to the owners of the laundromat because she told me if the machine doesn't dry my clothes that my problem and to keep adding money. I advise not to waste your time or money at this filthy place, definitely will not return!
I will never make the mistake of going to him again.
They replaced the cuff zippers on my Vanson motorcycle jacket, and the zippers used work better than the factory ones. The price was reasonable, and it was done when they said it would be done. I would go there again, and recommend their services.
