Al’s Monroe Shoe Serv

Mario provides great service, is meticulous in his work, and isn’t happy until the customer is happy. Prices are beyond reasonable and his turnaround is extremely fast. I asked him to stitch a heel backing into my new Allen Edmonds recently. He carefully considered the work to be done, explained what he was going to do, and made sure I was satisfied with his plan. When it came time to discuss a price, he hesitated and said it was going to be a lot of work for him. The price? $ 20. He seemed to feel bad asking for it. He was finished with them the next day. The work was excellent and I couldn’t be happier.
I brought him a belt yesterday to be shortened, stitched, and have new holes punched in it. He asked when I needed it finished, and I told him not to make it a priority whatsoever. He said to come back any time the next day (today) to pick it up. It was finished by the time I stopped in on my way to work this morning. He did a fantastic job. The price? $ 5.
I can’t recommend this place enough. He’s open Saturdays, too.
