The repairs looked very good. I had two pairs done over time. The first pair took almost a month, the second pair was about two weeks faster. The cost was $36 for each pair. I don't know if this is the going rate for shoe repairs these days as it's been a while since I had this kind of work done. It seems high, but I don't know what others charge as there aren't any other viable options in this area. The boots were expensive when I bought them so seemed worth fixing. If they had cost me less, I'd probably hesitate to pay this much to repair them. The quality of the work and service were fine and the boots were ready when promised. I thought 4 weeks was a bit long for the first pair, but maybe it was a busy time for them.
Description of Work: Re-soled two pairs of leather boots.

I have yet to get my two pairs of slippers back yet my credit card was charged for the $117. I called asking if he could finish at least one pair before I left on my trip March 30th. I never got a call and no no slippers are ready yet. I'm very upsetHe
Description of Work: He was to raise up my two right slippers as my right leg is shorter than my left leg. The service has not yet been preformed. It has been three weeks. I understand the cobble had a knee replacement but his son said that it would be three weeks. Well, work still nt done!

Response from TOWN COBBLER
Hello! I apologize for the slow service with your orthopedic build-up. We strive to get our work out in as timely a fashion as possible. Unfortunately, we have only one certified orthopedic technician and when he is ill it is difficult for us to do that. I do hope you were happy with the repair when it was completed and I apologize again for our tardiness, we will be more clear about our timing limitations in the future. Sincerely, Zelde Grimm, Town Cobbler

The Town Cobbler did exactly as I asked. My boots feel great ! They were ready on time.
Description of Work: I asked to have my new Frye boots stretched in the toe area as they weren't stretching with wear as I hoped they would.

Everything went very well. Very personable and laid back. Honest about what could be done and didn't try to oversell me on a new heel altogether.
Description of Work: I had no soles for the heels of an old pair of cowboy boots, that I had written off, but decided to see if anything could be done. New soles put on. They looked awesome afterword, and the heel had been polished also. Have to pay up front, but that does make sense.

See above
Description of Work: The soles of my dress shoes were separating from the uppers. They explained the work they would need to do and why and then gave an estimate for the repairs. I gave them the go ahead to proceed and the work was done in a timely manner and the shoes look like new again.
