Best Shoe Repair & Shine

I got my boots shined, watch fixed, and glasses fixed. Service is great, and I’d surely be back.

This place really is the best. I have gotten watch batteries fixed, but mostly go for shoe repair. Alex does great work, quickly and inexpensively. Highly recommended!

«Alex» is a complete moron. Brought my watch in here to change the battery. Alex proceeded to hack the back of the watch with a small knife to get the back open right in front of me. Ended up putting several deep scratch marks on the back and then when he was finished, he completely denied doing it saying it was there already. This guy is a piece of work. If you want your watch repair, go to a professional — this guy is a complete douchebag!

Seriously is the BEST shoe repair in the city… and I’ve been to a lot of cobblers! I brought a pair of LD Tuttle boots here that had a very unique heel with quite delicate leather — I was convinced I could never get these fixed right because of how unique this heel was. Low and behold they came back looking good as new they also added a new sole on the front which makes the boots feel more sturdy. The next day I brought in 7 more pairs of shoes that all needed a bit of a fix up… a mix of prada, gucci, ann demeulemeester, etc all expensive shoes that I wouldn’t want to take to just anybody but the best! I just picked the lot up last night and I couldn’t be happier all my shoes are like new again!
Thank you!

Guy behind the counter had a snarky attitude. Walked out and went to Cobbler Express instead.

Inexpensive, quick and very good shoe shine experience.

Fantastic service! They made my shoes look like new. Very professional. I will take all my repairs there from now on! As others have noted, they are a bit expensive. BUT, based on the quality of the work, they are definitely NOT overpriced. Their work is seriously top-​notch.

On my last visit to NYC my BF insisted on wearing his boots and cowboy hat everywhere we went. I’m not even going to get into how many times we were asked if we are from Texas…
Anyhow, he had been complaining about needing to get his boots shined and since the guy manning the stand at the airport was MIA, it was on our list of things to do. He spotted this place while we were taking a walk and since we had time to kill we stopped in.
There were already 2 gentlemen sitting in the shoe shine chairs so he grabbed the last seat. I took my place in the waiting area and began to flip through a US Weekly. His boots were shined before I could finish (less than 20 minutes). The guy was not only quick but very professional and thorough. I don’t know how much we paid, but my BF seemed pleased and his boots did look really nice.

Alex the shoe repair guy is a real professional. He used to make shoes, and now he repairs them so well that they look and feel like new. I wear my shoes very hard and he has revived my favorites time and time again.
He recognizes and appreciates a good shoe and treats them with the TLC that they deserve. Now that I have found Alex, I have no problem spending $ 250 on shoes because I know he’ll make them last for years and years.
Note — he is expensive. But worth it!
