The Shoe Repair Store

Let me preface this by saying I rarely Unilocal but I felt compelled to after my experience with this place. These people are THIEVES! If I could give 0 stars I would’ve! I took a tall sandal that needed a zipper replacement and was quoted $ 35 for one zipper. My husbands shoes needed the sole to be reinforced and he recommended new heels — $ 45. I left my husbands shoes and took my sandal.
We stopped at the shoe repair on Jamaica ave and 114 St. to get a quote for my sandal. The owner was extremely kind and informative. He recommended a stopper for the zipper instead of replacing the zipper and heel lifts to protect the leather on the back of the sandal. Repairing both sandals with stoppers and small new wedge heel — $ 15. I asked how much to replace the whole zipper — $ 12 each sandal.
I went back to Lefferts Blvd to pick up my husbands shoes and he had already glued the sole. I told him I didn’t want anything else done and he charged me $ 10 for glue. We took the shoes to the Jamaica Ave repair shop and he cleaned up what the other didn’t finish and shined the shoes — nothing else was needed…$ 5.
DON’T GO TO THIS SHOE REPAIR!!! HE IS A THIEF AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF!!!

Hours are sketchy. Door is locked often during business hours. Maybe he takes lots of breaks I don’t know but it took 3 tries at random times on different days during business hours & the door was unlocked on the 3^rd try. If you can get in, he does the job.

very rude when I called to ask about hours. when I dropped off my shoes, said it would be ready the next day. I came by 4 days later, the shoes were not even touched yet. Told me to come back in 2 hrs, came back 4 hrs later, younger guy, probably his son, just started to work on them. Made it sound like he was doing me a huge favor for working on the shoes and threatened he would not finish that night unless I promised to come back to pick them up. Do not recommend and overpriced. 18 bucks for new heels.
