    1st visit ever. Very pleasant atmosphere, with a 80yr History. I met Terrance and Eric, the 5th Generation of Great GrandPop Clif 🙏. They were very welcoming and inviting. I only I had taken a before picture on my work Steeltoe shoes. Eric, must have Military training or he paid very close attention when Pops was was teaching 🤔 Cause, my shoes 👞 have a Shine that puts the Sun 🌞 to shame. Yo! Family, To God, Be The Glory. Keep up The Good Works. Amen

    It’s a great place to go for shoe repairs and shines. This legacy has been around since I can remember. Cliff Jr. learned everything he knows from his father. I can remember taking my family shoes to his father when I was young. I’m 62 and now all my nieces and nephews are doing the same. That’s Cliff for staying true to your craft.

    This family has been in business since we were in the projects in the 1960s I’m sure. Glad to see they are still around!!!!! Black people do everything we need to get done. You just have to look around.
