I totally agree with the other reviewer.
There is not many people left like him in the business of shoe repair.
You can totally trust his judgement.
I took a pair of new boots in with (what I thought was a difficult job).
I believed a new stronger zipper was needed.
He immediately saw the problem and even though he had been closing up the store fixed the zip right there and then and then didn't charge me anything.
I have had other beautiful repairs done by him at a very fair price but it was just that kindness and honesty that touched me to want to tell the rest of the public that he deserves your business.
