Tony Shoe Repair

Love when I can save a favorite pair of shoes!
Working in NYC and walking through this concrete jungle can definitely mess up your pretty shoes! if you’re like me and own a ridiculous amount of shoes but wear the same 3 pairs over and over, you know they eventually need to go in the garbage or find a shoe God who can bring them back to life.
I’m a shoe destroyer! I don’t know what it is but somehow my everyday shoes end up looking like they’ve been thrown in a grinder. I took 3 pairs of winter boots that I LOVE to Tony after discovering that my usual place had suddenly closed down. Thank God for a quick Unilocal search to find this place.
I dropped off my boots and after examining them he let me know that one of the 3 pairs was beyond repair. Deep down I think I already knew this. Either way I left the other two and the next day for a call that they were ready. When I picked them up I was shocked at how amazing they looked! Looks like I’ll be getting another winter to wear these babies again!

Fantastic! Did repair while I waited.

Great full service shoe shine and repair. Friendly, fast and professional. It’s nice to find a low key shop in midtown, a quiet family run place in the madness that is midtown. I hope there are always places like this in NYC

He is AWESOME!!!
I have been going to Tony’s for close to 10 years and he is the best. He must use top of the line materials because his replacement heels and taps last me the longest. Very honest guy. Price is very reasonable!

I absolutely HATE this place. I gave Tony, the owner, a simple job to do and after 3 weeks of following up, he finally answered and HUNG UP on me! He said to me: ‘hey buddy, we don’t have a contract. I’m busy. Come and pick your shit up. I reserve the right to refuse your business’.
Well Tony, I reserve the right to give you the worst review. When you give a customer a slip as a receipt, you enter into a contract! You’re a moron and dont know how to conduct yourself as a human being.

Missed my old cobbler on 2^nd Ave but found a great replacement. $ 20 to replace heels on a pair of flats and bond a spot that was run down, looked good as new.

Lived in NYC and worked in midtown from 98 – 07. Back here for work all the time. of all the reasons to miss nyc, Tony’s reminds me most of what i liked and like about NY. Great shoe guys are a disappearing breed in this day of buy, wear, dispose. Nothing like walking into a store with the smell of leather and shine guys putting on fresh coat of polish. had a heel blow out on a recent visit and was in and out in under 30 minutes. Great service and reasonable price. Do NYC and the world a favor and put one more sole on those shoes before you get rid of them and get a shine for god’s sake (and tip generously).

I ordered repairing Alden shoes, replaced the old sole.
Great quality, very careful work, high degree of perfection, and they could fix it just 1 day!
Not cheap, but definitely reasonable.

Amazing and super convenient. This shop is just a few blocks from my office, so easily accessible to visit on lunch breaks. In the past 3 months i’ve had the heels on 6 pairs of shoes replaced — from Banana Republic boots to Christian Louboutin platforms. Great work, and ALWAYS ready the next day. The place is a gem. I have always been helped quickly and even the shoe shine guys are friendly. If you work around Fashion Ave — this is certainly a one stop for shoe repair.

Went there with a pair of loved shoes and was told that the leather was worn to a point that it couldn’t be fixed. He looked at the shoes carefully. Although he didn’t do any work for me I got the feeling that this place cared about their craft.

I’ve brought several pairs of shoes to Tony’s and he always does a great, fast, professional job. I’ve also brought him some specialty work (switching out straps on a dog muzzle) and he’s made that work too.

I came in for an emergency shoe repair when my heel completely blew out. Although Tony has a little New York in him, I was grateful for the very quick service and good workmanship. My heel was done in less than 45 minutes while I waited at Starbucks across the street. Good work at a fair price and my shoes were saved.

Come here whenever I have meeting around the area and always get a good shoe shine job.

Best cobbler in the city. I don’t even live in NYS anymore, and still come here to fix my boots. He is honest (will tell you when it’s not prudent/​your shoes are beyond repair), reasonably priced, quick to repair, and almost always makes my soles feel brand new. Do wish he had weekend hours, but I guess there’s a price to pay for greatness.

Awesome service and awesome work. I have had 3 shoe repairs so far and have been extremely happy with the results. My first visit was for a pair of Steve Madden sandals whose strap had popped. I dropped the shoes off about 8:30a and they were done by 1p the same day. My other shoes were done within 24 hours. This man is a shoe guru. I am absolutely satisfied with the service here and will be returning as I continue to somehow mess up my shoes lol :)

There is something very Zen about getting your shoes shined and that’s what you can do here.
Shoes and boots and basically any other footware — if you love it — and it’s damaged — it can get repaired! Tony’s shoe repair does more than just shine shoes — they can fix broken soles!
I came here for a shoe shine though and at 4 bucks for the pair i had a nice seat for about 15 minutes getting my shoes polished up correctly. I’ve gotten my shoes shined before and for 4 bucks and a 2 dollar tip — it’s a great investment. they took a super beat up shoe and made it look next to brand new!

Amazing service, extremely friendly, I love the soft scent of shoe polish. The taps were put on perfectly and will definitely prolong the soles lives
I’d highly recommend it. They have great shoe shining service too.

Fast and friendly service! I showed up 10 minutes before they close, and he still agreed to replace my heel that night so I didn’t have to wait over the weekend. Please note that they actually close at 4 PM, not 5 PM as Unilocal states.

I got a shine here and they do a pretty spot on job. They take there time and do it right.

Oh man, this place pissed me off so bad. I took the advice from a friend of mine to go here to get my shoes re-​soled. I took my lunch break to walk over to this place and the guys totally were not interested in helping me repair my shoes. The guy at the counter looked at me like I was crazy and then passed the shoes to the guys in the back and they refused to work on my shoes for me or even give it a try. So, I took them to another place. I was not rude to them at all, just quiet and then asked them to re-​consider. What a waste of time even trying to come here. They must have too much business to turn down paying customers just because they do no feel like doing their job.
