George’s Inc

have saved many of my favorite shoes. But also told me when it was no longer worth fixing some. good turn around. i used them back when they were by Ben’s chili bowl and will continue to use them as long as my shoes need re heeling.

This is the second storefront to the now-​defunct George’s on 13^th & U.
I took my well-​worn boots to George’s when a zipper on my right shoe completely gave out (when I was out, in the middle of a snowstorm, no less). I was charged $ 40, up front, to fix my zipper. I wasn’t thrilled about the price but also disinclined to purchase a new set of boots so I obliged the price. the zipper they fixed re-​broke (!) but I took them back to George and they fixed them — for good — and without charge.
Prices are certainly higher than average, but I appreciate that they did a job that they stand behind. George and his staff are always friendly, even when I’m simply walking by on the way to work in the morning.

I took two pairs of shoes here to get the hells fixed and both pair broke within two weeks. On my boots, they had just GLUED the heel on, so it came off two days later as I was walking down the street. On my kitten heels, the tips wore down a week later — clearly poor quality repairs and materials, I would NEVER recommend them.

These guys are terrible. First I took my fiancée’s shoes (yeah, leave me alone (honestly, they’re not mine!)) in to get the heels put back on. They charged a lot and didn’t bother to shine them.
Then I took my shoes in to get re-​soled. They charged a boatload and did a terrible job. There is glue showing all over the outside of the shoes, and one of the new soles is already coming off, on the 3^rd wearing.
My office looks down on their store. If my windows opened, I’d throw my newly re-​soled shoes at them right now.
