Evelyn & Sam Shoe

My favorite leather boots got damaged in the front, I got them back in no time and they looked better than when I bought them!!! Superb work, can’t express just how satisfied i am… and the price is a joke. Very much recommend!!!

The guy is passive agressive. I dropped my shoes off for new heels yesterday afternoon. When I showed up this evening, giving him more than a full day, he asked me «Did I call you? How would the shoes be ready if I didn’t call you?»
He could have simply said in a polite tone, «I haven’t finished yet. When do you need by?» Instead, he accused me of having changed my mind and pretending not understanding him in an abrasive tone. It was a simple job of chaning heels and most shoe repair shops in the city can do within 5 minutes or even on the spot.
I had to ask him multiple times to give me my shoes back. I will never go back.

On the advice of the manufacturer, I sent my python handbag here for touch up. I got it back today and it looks AMAZING. Almost brand new. My guy here would not even touch it because exotics are so difficult so I am so happy to have it returned in such great condition. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I just picked up a pair of Timberland boots that look as good as they did when I bought them about TEN YEARS ago!!! I brought them in with a torn seam, worn-​down heels, and looking as you’d expect a well-​worn decade-​old pair of boots would look. I’m sure they’ll now last another decade.
Many years ago, I brought in another pair of well-​loved boots that I’d worn mountain hiking, they’d been covered in mud and grit, inside and out. On top of that, I stupidly sprayed gasoline all over them (I shouldn’t be allowed to pump my own gas!). I was sure they were goners, but gave Evelyn & Sam a chance. Unbelievably, they were returned as fresh and as clean as brand new.
Old world craftsmen are rare and getting rarer. I’m glad this shop is still around.

I have been living on the same block as «Evelyn & Sam shoe» repair store for 10 years.
And I have to tell you that I used few other repair stores before that, but this one is out of this world.
Eg.
1) I had red high heels which I adored and over time, the heel got completely destroyed. I took the shoes to the repair store with little hope, but when I come back I could not believe it, the shoes looked like new.
2) I had another pair of golden heels which I was in love as well, and one day the shoe broke in half, I was planning on throwing them away, but I took them to the store, and another surprise, I got the shoe repaired and looking almost like new. This was a miracle.
3) Another pair of my favorite green suede shoes, got a bit damaged and dirty after few years — he cleaned them pretty well. they did not look like new, but the result was highly satisfying.
4) Meanwhile there was many other shoes with less damages that I took there, and always, but ALWAYS I left happy.

I had a purse with a broken handle and visited this place for the first time today. After inspecting it, he told me straight up that it was probably not worth fixing, but he would be happy to fix it and it would cost around $ 60 – that is probably 3 times what the bag was worth in the first place!
He was incredibly helpful and showed me why it was breaking and gave me his honest opinion. That is absolutely priceless – an honest person who would rather tell you the truth then make an easy $ 60. I will DEFINITELY be back for all of my purse and shoe repair needs!

My mother told me about him, and I’ve been going to him ever since, for years! He is the best, he can really fix everything and do an amazing job every time. He’s super friendly too. The place kind of looks a little scary, but the work he does is absolutely top notch!

This guy is just the best. He is the only person in manhattan i trust with complicated jobs. Once I was lazy and took a pair of Choo boots with a broken heel somewhere more convenient and they put ugly plastic heels on claiming that was all that could be done. I immediately took them here and a week later the boots were fixed with the original heels in tact. He also seems to have a steady flow of work from high end boutiques on Madison. Doesn’t get any better!

I found this place a couple of years ago. He can fix any thing from Gucci bags to Prada shoes .You do have to wait for him to fix them he is always busy
