Victor's Shoe Repair

I was looking for a local cobbler nearby my workplace and dropped by Victor's Shoe Repair on Monday -- it was closed! Went to another one down the street...which was also closed, which leads me to believe that people in this business choose to rest on Monday so they can stay open on Saturday. Ok, I suppose that's fair.

I returned the following day (Tuesday) to find Victor (the owner) with a bright, welcoming smile! He asked me, "What do you need Madamoiselle?!" I had a belt that needed an alteration, a handbag strap that needed reattachment, and a pair of boots that needed to be resoled. He said everything would be ready on Thursday (in only 2 days)! Great timing...and perfect for my trip down to LA. His prices weren't unreasonable - not expensive, but not cheap. The only thing was that I wasn't able to negotiate down the charges, even though I was certain that I could get away with it! Needless to say, his gregarious personality was worth it, and I happily returned today to pick up my belongings.

The stitching jobs on both the belt and handbag strap were straight and even. The boot heels were replaced and the boots polished! Just like new...and rather than having to throw out any of those things, I spent a total of $28!

Thanks Victor, I'll be back very soon...
