Digiulio’s Shoes

First of all this place says its a shoe repair place but it’s not. It’s a shoe store with over priced shoes.
I took in 2 pairs of boots that needed to be resoled. They told me it was not worth it to repair them. What kinda of a shoe repair place turns you away? My guess is that since they are a shoe store they don’t want me to repair my boots & just spend double the price on new pair of boots? Sorry I didn’t fall for your trick.
1 pair of my boots are $ 300 boots in great condition. They just need a little TLC from all the snow & salt from last year. A simple new sole & a shine would solve the problem. So I found another REAL shoe repair place that is replacing the sole for $ 45. Voila! New great boots that I love under 50 bucks.
Also they were rude & not very helpful. When they turned me away, I asked if there was another shoe repair place & they said no. No help. Again she told me «It’s not worth repairing your boots». So I got back on Unilocal & found this great little mom & pop place with a little old guy & indeed he said he could do it. No fuss no drama.
Don’t waste your time here if you need to repair your shoes. They are not a real shoe repair place.

Aside from running shoes, there are not many activities which I loathe more than shoe shopping. So when I found myself with 3 pair of heals which had lost the little black rubber thingy (that’s the technical name) on the bottom of the heal, the thought of having to replace them sent me into a mild panic attack.
Then, as if a beam of light from heaven shone down, I passed by Digiulio’s and realized they do repairs! I brought in my 3 pair, and they were able to repair them in less than the week they originally predicted, for only $ 10 per pair. Quite a bargain compared to having to buy brand new shoes, let alone the stress involved in trying to find shoes which meat my many criteria.
The gentleman who waited on me in the store was nice enough, but I was just a little off-​put when he seemed really stuck on the fact that I’m a woman who doesn’t enjoy shoe shopping. He said «that’s REALLY weird» several times. But, I can put that aside for a good repair job.
I didn’t buy anything shoes here, and looking at their prices, they are quite high. I will, however, continue to use this local business to make any further repairs I encounter with my shoes, to avoid shoe shopping as long as humanly possible. Digiulio’s Shoes is A-​OK in my book.
