Cappy’s Shoe Repair

This is a great place I’ve used for years. They’ve rejuvenated our family’s shoes, repaired sandals, handbags, even small leather luggage. They ask questions and listen carefully to understand exactly what you want, offer good suggestions when needed. Always prompt and reliable service at very reasonable cost.

I bought two pairs of shoes here. One pair needed the heels fixed and the other needed a complete redo. He did an awesome job. Would recommend to anyone. His prices were responsible too.

Took my old beat up boots in for a clean/​polish and they look brand spankin’ new!
Low prices, Very nice people and Finished the job in no time too.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place, yet. This is an old-​skool shoe repair place. They do men’s and women’s shoes. They also, I think, do other clothing repairs/​refinishing, so don’t be afraid to ask. They also make keys ($ 3)! I think it was about $ 13 per shoe to get my shoe re-​heeled. I think men’s shoes are $ 2 more/​shoe. Or, it’s $ 11 for women and $ 13 for men… I forget. Either way, not bad. And then you can keep wearing your favorite shoes! Service was great, they worked with days that I could come when they were open after 5. It doesn’t seem like the later you wait to pick up, the cheaper it is (like with tailoring or dry cleaning), but it’s not a bad price and they do a great job! Very pleasant to talk to and seemed sincerely interested in getting me the results I wanted. The chemical smell when you walk in is a bit overwhelming, but you’re not in there for long and, again, the results are great!

I need heels on my shoes occasionally, but I mostly go to Cappy’s because I routinely scuff my leather flats. I have no idea how I keep doing that – guess I’m clumsy. I’ve tried polishing my shoes at home, but the scuffs still show somewhat. I take my shoes to Cappy’s twice a year and they look almost new.

My poor heels and boots! They needed tips so badly! After some minor dusting off, I visited Cappy’s for the first time. The shop is small, busy, and the service is friendly. 5 pairs (3 heels, 2 boots) for $ 52, and they were ready in a week. Not too bad. Luckily, I could wait that long! It’s CASH only or checks, but who uses checks nowawdays?! Also, they repair your handbags!

This is my go-​to shoe repair place in good ol Lawrence Park shopping center. If you don’t know that it’s there, well, you’re not going to find it, because it’s behind the shopping center, in a little business park. So now you’ve found it. You step in and you immediately get hit in the face with the smell of what I’m assuming is shoe glue. But please, don’t give up yet, just muster through it.
I think I must be a hard walker, because I wear out the bottoms of my heels way too quickly. But Cappy’s always does a bang-​up job with making them look new. And it’s cheap and totally worth it. You don’t always have to buy new shoes, especially during these economic times. Just rejuvenate them! Usually when I go there, it’s empty and one person is working there. I was just there last weekend and there were three employees and just as many customers. A true sign of a recession if I ever saw one!
