WoW!! I am totally in Love again with my most favorite pair of heels.. they have seen A Lot of wear being my go to shoe. However they were shockingly starting to show the results of all that wear. And were looking pretty sad. My husband took them in for a tune up. The cost was worth every penny, and much faster than i was anticipating. Thankyou for all around awesome service . Much appreciated i am now going through my shoes to see what else needs rejuvenation

I was in there for a repair. They always do good work at a reasonable price. I also needed some leather protectant and received some very sage advice along with the required product.
