Niles Shoe Service

i always use NSS specifically for zipper repairs, because they’ve been 100% successful in that regard and on different types of items
i don’t know if you’ve had the same bad luck as i used to, taking things to other places around town that advertise ‘zippers repaired’ in their window, and then getting it back in worse condition than what you brought in making you wish you hadn’t even considered repairing a malfunctioning zipper in the first place.
so a lot of places say ‘zippers repaired’ but unlike them Niles Shoe Service actually knows and repairs zippers correctly, having given him both plastic & metal types, and repair price was OK with me

I always pass this place, and I had never though about getting shoes repaired. So of course… stitching came undone in my left shoe… I really liked the shoes so I went in to see how much I would have to pay (thus validating me throwing them away.) He looked and said ten bucks. A week later I picked up my shoes.
Now I dunno what the last poster went thru… I like to think everone or any place can have a bad day… but when I saw the owner (short Italian guy that reminded you of the typical Italian cobblers in movies, accent and all) I felt oddly comfortable (probably since my dad was from old school Greece) He looked at my shoe and assessed the labor. Looking around at the store he had other shoes (I bought a pair as I tend to bend down and do alot of stuff with computers so I put my shoes thru alot) Picked up a pair that IO am going to start using and see if I like them.
I went in there thinking i was going to spend 20 on shoes and left spending 60 on shoes and some cleaning supplies for leather shoes. And as I left there was a lady customer coming in asking about her boots and he had promptly brought them up as if he knew she was coming.
The one pic I took cause I didnt want to spook the guy.
FYI Parking is kinda tight… you have been warned.

I would strongly discourage anyone from ever patronizing the Niles Shoe Repair. I brought in two pairs of leather shoes. For repair, I was charged $ 20 for one pair and $ 30 for the other pair. Between a few hours and a few days after each repair, the shoes proceeded to tear and the repair came undone. I brought one pair back twice and the other pair back three times for the same repair. Not to mention the repairs looked absolutely terrible. Upon bringing the shoes back a third time, the owner told me that he would not attempt to repair the shoes again and claimed the rip, in the same spot as before, was unrelated to the original tear. He refused to refund any money I paid for the repairs. Take my advice and choose another shoe repair establishment that has some integrity.
