Not the best repairs done
I've brought a few pairs of shoes and a purse here to get fixed and touched up and have been very pleased with the results every time! He was even willing to sell me some leather for a project I was doing. The owner really knows his stuff!
The way in which he assessed my shoes gave me total confidence in his diagnosis. And I really appreciate that! I asked him what other kind of work he did in the shop, because it clearly had types of tools for all manner of items. He rattled off a list of things he repairs - which ranged from shoes and purses to other non-leather items - and summed it all up by saying, "Basically, if it's something that can be sewn, I can do it!"
I brought a pair of favored dress shoes to Shoe & Leather Repair simply ready to ask if they could be salvaged. I've never done this before, so I thought I'd just ask.
I initially came here because my sister-in-law found a beautiful pair of thrift store leather boots, and had them repaired here. Bob, the owner, did amazing work.
I took 2 pairs of work boots to check & see off repair was possible. Very honest, one pair was not worth fixing the other he fixed and price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place.
So with those two things in mind - its reputation and the work I'd seen on the boots - I went in blind. Bob immediately put his work down and came over to assist me, even turning down the television that was on in the background. He looked at my shoes and pulled at them, debating if they could be saved. He seemed eager to give it a shot, but after prodding around a bit, he gave me the honest answer that he did not think they could be saved. There was too much damage.
With that I said goodbye, he turned the tv back on, and got straight back to what he was working on before I came in.
I'll be upfront: I didn't have any shoe or leather work done here. BUT WAIT! That's not the end of this review.
Though I can't personally recommend any work he's done for me, I will absolutely be back if I ever have another shoe or leather issue to see what he thinks!
First of all, this place has been around for a LONG time and has a great reputation in Washington. When I walked in the shop, it looked and smelled like a place that has done a lot of great work. It's hard to explain.
