First of all, the older man who works there is rude. He is not helpful and obviously doesn't want to be there. Oh, he closes his shop at 4:50pm and if you're knocking on the fro...

First of all, the grumpy old man you all can't seem to stand has a name (Ben) and has been a good friend of mine for years. Although he may not have the best customer skills, he certainly doesn't deserve all the disrespect you people like to throw around. He is a good man trying to service the community with his shoe repair skills. I've been in his store several times and witnessed first hand the customer abuse he has to deal with on a regular basis. Some people seem to think they can buy shoes at WalMart for $10 then when they fall apart (as they will) they think they can have them repaired for a couple bucks. You get what you pay for... buy cheap junk and that's what you get!\r \r Second, anyone who thinks there are better shoe repair shops around better look again. It's a lost art and a business that isn't going to see a vast increase in the coming years. The ""cheery"" man who owned the store before had to give it up because he didn't know how to run a business. Ben has the skill to do both; run a good business and fix shoes. He does them both rather well. But the ""satisfied"" customers never add comments to sites like this. They just appreciate the well-done job at a fair price and go about their lives. It's only the cry babies who get a kick out of slamming a good place like OK Shoe Repair. You didn't get stroked? Deal with it! And take your cheap shoes somewhere else (or break down and buy another pair for $10).\r \r Ben has been a straight up guy for as long as I've known him. He works the shop alone so he gets behind sometimes. It's not a ""drive-thru"" shoe repair shop. And he's honest. If he can't do the job, he'll tell you. Someday Ben will sell the shop and folks will have to fix their shoes themselves. Oh wait... they don't know how. more

Do NOT use this shoe repair! Take an extra half hour and find another person to fix your shoes. The owner is one of the grouchiest people you will ever meet. He hates his job! He told me my shoes would be done in a week. Right... When I called 8 days later, I got yelled at. Seriously, I am the customer and you are late with my fixed shoes. He told me that I had to deal with the fact that he had not even started to replace the stoppers on my heels. He would get to it when he could. Um..NOPE! You were given money to do a simple job. I will NEVER use this repair shop again. I would rather pay for new shoes that listen to this old man complain about having work and paying customers. He must not realize that many people would kill for a job! more

Terrible! Don't ever go to OK Shoe Repair! 2/14/2012

First of all, the older man who works there is rude. He is not helpful and obviously doesn't want to be there. Oh, he closes his shop at 4:50pm and if you're knocking on the front door, he pretends he doesn't see you. If you lose your claim ticket, watch out! You will get yelled at. Additionally, they can't seem to put a simple piece of leather strapping on a sandal. Although they did have my phone number, they decided to tell me when I picked up my unfinished goods. They also lost a sandal of mine. Just one, albeit, but how am I supposed to walk around without the mate? Please, don't waste your time. The losing the sandal bit is what got to me. I will not give them my business. more
