If you ask anyone in Oakland County to name a shoe repair place, they will undoubtedly mention Frank's. And what's not to love, they're in downtown B'ham, and have been in business forever. The problem is, they are the cobbler's equivalent of a fast food restaurant. This place may be fine for women (and perhaps men) to take their low quality but high priced designer shoes in for cheap glue repairs, but if you wear REALLY good shoes (English, Goodyear-welted, channeled-sole type of stuff), then don't consider this place, they're not up to the task, I assure you.
Pros: Location, quick turnaround
Cons: Workmanship, lack of knowledge
