If Al fixed it and it doesn't hold, he will fix it so it does hold. I don't think he is cheap but does a good job. Repairing shoes saves your favs as well as saves shoes from the landfill!

Yelp is incorrect with the opening hours for this shop. I stopped at 10:38 this morning to be greeted with a sign that they open at noon.

Al is a miracle worker. He fixed two split seams on a well loved pair of short leather Camper boots. Now they are better than new. Looking forward to wearing my boots on my next travel adventure.

Took a pair of boots here to get the heels/soles repaired. They weren't expensive shoes but weren't cheap either and I figured they were worth trying to fix. The work done on them seems to be good. I said yes to the add on of having them cleaned up and waterproofed, which I wish I didn't do. For an extra $15 I figured why not, but the boots are definitely a different color now than when I brought them in. Not a huge deal because I don't mind the color but... still. I dropped the shoes off on a Tuesday and they were ready about a week later, not sure if this is typical or not
