I found Superior Shoe Repair listed on Lucky Magazine's website for ""Fashion Emergencies"", so I thought I would try them out. I had a pair of high heel pointy-toed pumps that needed their soles to be reinforced/rubberized (the part of the sole at the tip had worn down a little, but was not bad at all). I have gotten these fixed at a mall shoe repair place for like $10... not a big deal. I also had a pair of sandals that needed new elastics for the straps.... also not a big deal at all. Or so I thought!!! I was very polite as I pulled my shoes out and explained what I wanted done. The man was very, very rude and acted like this would be some kindof serious shoe operation for both pairs... and he told me it would be $40 for each! I am not cheap but these were easy repairs and I found this insane. He had a huge attitude as if I should not be fixing them at all, or that he couldn't be bothered with this... like it was the rubix cube of shoes. It was really, really weird. I was polite the whole time, and when I asked nicely why it would cost that much, he got super flustered and waved his hands and said ""take it somewhere else then""! \r
I bet this shop is great for men's shoes..... but beware ladies! Just go to Rossi's instead.
Pros: Shoe shine for men, probably great for men's shoes.
Cons: Can't do easy repairs for women's shoes. Mean!
