This might sound strange, but since I moved, finding quality shoe repair has been a real problem. I’m hard on shoes, so my pumps need to be re-heeled on a regular basis. It seems like everyone in Oshkosh just collects stuff to be picked up, so they not only overcharge, it takes forever too. I was complaining about just that while shopping at Atomic Katz, and the owner(having forgotten the name of this place) gave me a super vague description of how to find it… so of course off I went, seeking the utopia of shoe repair. And after a brief detour to the army surplus store around the corner(thanks, GPS), I found it! The guy at the counter quoted me something like $ 7.75 a pair(I, uh, had 3 identical pairs in need of heels…) and said that they’d be ready the next day. Now, that’s not quite the fastest shoe repair I’ve ever experienced(see Nu Life in Memphis), but that’s a far cry from the 2 weeks I was quoted just about everywhere else! Plus, they speak English here, which is a new thing for me. I came back two days later and my shoes were ready and waiting, all fixed up for another few months of rough wear. So while I’ll definitely save up my shoes before making another trip, Franwerks is for sure my go-to shoes repair place! If you don’t want to buy new shoes, bring your old ones here!
