Life used to be so easy and predictable. When you needed your shoes rebuilt, you would take them to the Yankee Shoe Repair Factory and be stunned by their high standard of workmanship. If your shoes have«Made in India» stamped in them, or you think Wal*Mart sells quality footwear, then go to Max. But, if your shoes are made in USA, England or Italy and you want them to be repaired NOT ruined, stay away. I know it’s a hassle to use an out-of-town cobbler — good shoes have just gotten far too expensive to risk having them ruined by shoddy work.
