Sylvan Street Shoe Service

I was in a rush for an appointment and stopped by this shoe repair store which was across the street from where I had the appointment. Hagob was amazing. He quickly repaired my shoe, and I was not late to the appointment. He was super nice, and his rates were good.

I took a pair of my wife’s shoes that needed repair because our small dog chewed up the heel and buckle. The owner took care of me and my wife was happy with the results. I’ve used his services adding a plastic corner to my shoe heel so that my shoe sole last longer, since I tend to wear out one side more than the other. I’m thinking of using him for my sole replacement on these shoes I really like. I’ve never replaced a sole so I’ll see how that goes. I would highly recommend you go to this shoe repair store for all your shoe repair needs at a reasonable price.

Really unprofessional service. I felt like I was in some seedy back alley, not in a reputable shoe shop. I asked for the soles of my shoes to be covered again in a new strip of leather ($ 45). I show up 10 days later and it’s still not done. Why not call me first so I didn’t have to drive out there? When I told him I was bugged, he offered me a red apple to make up for the delay. Anyways, after refusing the apple politely several times he kept coming at me with the fruit, like the witch in Snow White, and I had to run out of the store.
I also entrusted a pair of shoes with him to get them stretched and, a couple days later, I show up to see whether it worked and he tells me the shoes wouldn’t fit into the machine. So why not call me? I needed them for an event.
If you like uncomfortable experiences and old-​world service then you may not mind Sylvan Shoe Repair.
