    yakub is the goat, truly a magician. hes resoled two pairs of boots and has kept my emotional support platforms aka the shoes i wear every day outta the shoe graveyard for the last two years - replacing zippers, gluing the platforms back together, balancing and resoling them. he can do it all. he is kind and knowledgable and can fix even the most beat up boot and give it a second or third life, hell maybe even a fourth life hes that good. best cobbler in nyc!!!

    Brought my super old Levi boots here to get fixed up, the insole was totally broken and falling apart. Yakub did an amazing job!

    About a week later, a nail in the heel was coming out just a bit but it was bugging me. I brought them back in, Yakub fully fixed it up and glued new brandname insoles in both boots at no cost!

    Amazing service, will be bringing all my shoes here

    Phenomenal work, service and everything in between. They absolutely saved my shoes. Soles were falling off, the straps where disconnected, and the cork was falling apart. They put it all together, worked a miracle on these shoes at a perfect price.
