Yuri Malinov Shoe Service

Terrible experience. Got 2 copies of keys. One barely worked. The other didn’t open the lock at all. When i asked to get them fixed, he offered me a $ 4 refund if I return the keys to him. I didn’t want to leave my semi working apartment keys with this fraud. The printed keys also cannot be used again. When I asked him what he wanted to do with them he said not to worry about it and to get out of his store.

Excellent do-​it-​all service on a budget!
A true one-​stop shop that repairs both watches and shoes in a hurry, and at prices comically lower than nearby competitors (Marco Shoe Repair on 32^nd and 3^rd).
Dropped off a pair of men’s dress shoes with bilateral busted heel cups, and Eguardo turned them around in two days, the tattered heels replaced with fresh leather. At $ 15, the service made a fool of Marco’s quote ($ 40).
On closer inspection, it was a sturdy and completely functional repair of my shoes, but they have some noticeable new external stitching that betray their resurrected status.
Strictly cash only. Will certainly return.

Great work and great service! I brought a pair of heels to get the heel caps fixed and the shoes were ready the next day, with not only the caps fixed but also scuffing! The price is great and the people are very friendly.

Came here off of a recommendation from a coworker (thanks Morgan!) to get a pair of boots repaired and was so impressed. Eguardo is great! He replaced the entire sole of these black leather boots for $ 20 and they were ready within 2 days. Will definitely be returning for all future shoe needs.

I love this place! Eguardo is the best and consistently saves my most beaten up shoes, boots, flats, etc. The prices are great and he finishes the job really fast. He also gives suggestions on when not to fix or alter something if it will harm the shoe. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for quality service.
FYI it’s cash only and he is open from 8 am I believe, so you can get your shoes before work!

Eguardo has saved my favorite shoes, time and time again. Since my sister discovered him last year, I’ve brought 7 or 8 pairs over. Whether it is resoling, patching up holes or polishing, he does the best job with the lowest prices. I’ve tried to go by places closer to work in midtown but they are 2x the rate. One time I brought in 4 pairs and somehow my total came out to under $ 80. Eguardo also recommended that I resole a pair of ballet flats in rubber. I took his advice and now will always go this route when resoling. They haven’t worn down at all and look pretty similar to leather!
I recommend him to everyone!

Went in with my Cole Haan loafers to get them resoled. The man offered the option of rubber or leather bottom and recommended the rubber because they would last longer than the leather ones (which admittedly had been short-​lived). I was worried about putting a rubber sole on a low-​profile shoe but he did it perfectly; you would never tell they weren’t the original leather unless you turned the shoe upside down.
Also worth noting that he talked me out of the leather which was the more expensive option. I think that shows a lot of integrity.

Im surprised this place has so many nice reviews. The guy that works there is horrible and has no sense of manners. He talks to everyone like we are beneath him and does horrible work. I dropped off a pair on sneakers to be cleaned. He quoted me $ 15. I said no problem i’ll be back to pick them up tomorrow. Tomorrow comes and I go in to get the sneakers and they look as dirty as they were when I brought them in. It looked like he just threw them into the washing machine and then the dryer. When I asked him about certain spots he said he did the best he could and tried to sell me the cleaner he «supposedly «used. I was seriously pissed but I paid the man his 15 and walked out. Came home and took a toothbrush and some simple sneaker cleaner from footlocker and brushed the spots and every spot came off! So I paid 15 bucks for something I could have done in the first place myself. I went there because I figured I would have a better end result than something I can do myself since all this guy does is SHOES! Lesson learned. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years. I expected more.

This place is the best! Eduardo does great work and he’s inexpensive compared to other shoemakers. My 6 pairs of shoes required a lot work and they were ready in 3 days. They do everything from shoe polishing, to adding lifts to replacing soles. Highly recommend! Cash only.

The best shoe repair store! I walked in today 15 mins before closing with a broken heel and they fixed it in less than five minutes! Great price too! Highly recommended

Fast, good service at a great price. I got some leather ankle boots reheeled and some stitches reinforced — $ 14 with next day pick up following an afternoon drop off. They did a great job. Note they are cash only. Open ’til 7pm monday-​friday and until 5pm saturdays.

I take all my shoes here and they are so friendly. The prices are really good. I want to point out the red sole Christian Louboutin prices are only $ 25 here (most of the city charges $ 30-​$ 50). It’s worth traveling out of your way to have your shoes worked on here! They also work on jewelry, so its a full package deal!

I wear out shoes like nobody else, (I walk with crutches) and I don’t know what I’d do without these guys. Outstanding, handmade shoe and leather repair with attention to detail. Very reasonable prices. Also note, these are the guys who used to be «Michael’s Shoe Service» on 23^rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Chelsea. If you know their work then you know it’s worth the trip to the East side.
