Who would’ve thought that a subway station shop would do such beautiful quality work! These people are really skilled and take pride in their workmanship. I’ve had them re-sole shoes, apply top film, re-stitch a leather buttonhole, fix a belt, fixed numerous worn out heels, and they’ve polished ten year old boots to look like new. (Great people watching while you sit and have your shoes polished!) For do-it-yourselfers, the shop also stocks a huge selection of dyes, polishes, comfort innersoles, etc. Located in the Columbus Circle Station, at the bottom of the stairs, southeast corner of 57th Street and 8th Ave. Open Mon - Fri, 7:30 AM to 6:45 PM, Sat 9 - 4. Like finding an underground gem.
