Modern Shoe Repair is a local business owned by Han. He offers quality shoe repair services at reasonable prices. Customers praise his expertise in re-soling shoes, including hiking boots, and dyeing shoes. One customer had their hiking boots re-soled and later returned for a free repair of a separated heel. Another customer had a heel replaced and shoes dyed, saving money compared to buying new shoes. While the owner's English is limited, customers appreciate his hard work and the quality of his services.
We've had a number of shoes, bags and leather items repaired here. This shop is a great neighborhood resource. He's always reasonable and does a great job repairing things. Most recently I had some men's shoes resoled and it was worth it, he did a really nice job.
I would recommend this guy without hesitation. I didn't know they could re-sole today's hiking shoes. I love my Vasques and the tops were great but the soles were well worn; I wanted them for everyday wear. The owner, Han charged me $60 to re-sole them. That beats another $140 for a new pair. They stool look like new from above. After a couple of months though the heel became separated a bit. I called the cobbler and he told me to bring them in. I asked him how much it would cost he said no charge. He fixed them and I gave him $10 anyway. In total now I have had these shoes a year longer and they are still looking well and fitting just right. It beats forking out $140 plus for new ones.
First I had a new heel put on: cheap and good. A couple of years later I had a pair of scuffed up beige SAS shoes dyed burgundy: they came back looking like new ($24). New SAS: $175. I love this place. However, owner doesn't speak much English, so don't expect to carry on a long discussion regarding your footwear hopes and fears.
