Fixed my shoes and shared wonderful stories of people who have stopped in the shop.
My favorite was when Gene Simmions from kizz had his boots repaired there.
About Ullrich Shoe Repair
Ullrich Shoe Repair, previously located in downtown Pittsburgh and now in the South Hills area, is owned by a skilled and nicest cobbler named Rex. He is experienced in repairing not only shoes and boots but also purses and luggage. A notable repair was the split seam and ripped leather part of a Louis Vuitton luggage bag, which he fixed so it wouldn't unravel. He even recommended a solution to remove salt stains from suede winter boots, available in his shop.
The turnaround time for repairs is fast and reasonably priced. Although parking can be a bit challenging due to its location on a busy street, customers find it worth the effort for the impeccable work done by Rex.
Both new and returning customers highly regard Ullrich Shoe Repair for its excellent service, timely fashion, and professionalism. A pair of J&M dress shoes recently had new soles put on, with great results. Whether it's a simple repair or a resole, Ullrich Shoe Repair is the place to go.
