Simon’s Shoe Repair

I have been going to this shoe repair (and shine!) shop for years and it is truly a great example of a small/​local business that absolutely treasures its customers.
Small, no frills shoe shop with a couple of shoe shine seats in the entryway, and the rest of the small space is his workshop… where shoe repair magic happens.
He’s fixed purses for me (even polished and buffed up a sort of dull bag I found at a street fair and made it look super chic for just $ 10)…and his work on shoes is amazing. From repairing normal wear and tear to massive overhauls that added years of life to my Frye boots and heels I refuse to let die. He always meets his «done by» dates and gives friendly service with a smile.
Sometimes the system of finding your shoes upon pick up can be a bit tricky (shelves of shoes tied up in plastic bags)…but he seems to know where everything is you walk out happy.
I now live in SF and actually packed my shoes for him to fix on my last trip to NY, I just can’t find anyone who does what he does as well as he does it. He’s also asked me to marry him about 300 times and always tells my kids to work hard in school… we now just know this is his trademark way of saying «goodbye» and making us smile. 5 stars all the way.

Watch battery, shoe repair, bag repair, key maker etc. This place is the jack of all trades. Stumbled upon this place and was happy with the service for a change in watch battery. The 10 minutes i was there people came in and out like they were regulars and satisfied loyal customers. I will be back to use this place to repair my bag handle.

The shoe doctor is in! Simon has treated my beloved Choos and Louboutins for a wide variety of maladies: from heels snapped in the middle (hazardous city sidewalks!) to those red soles in need of a transplant! He will make that extra hole in your belt you may need after the holidays no matter what the shape. They will polish your shoes as well and they carry all the necessary products to make your foot candies look beautiful. They fix bags as well.
Pleasant and efficient– great business!

I have small Michael Kors navy blue leather handbag that I was using when I had to wear a nametag. I put the nametag on the bag and stupidly forgot about it for 3 days. When I pulled the nametag off, the leather color was taken off and it looked horrible– there was a nametag-​sized square of blotchy light blue leather. I brought the bag here on a Saturday afternoon and went back on Monday (he is closed Sundays), and the bag was PERFECT. You would never know that there had been anything wrong with the bag. He only charged me $ 15, but I would have paid up to $ 75– the bag has sentimental value and funtional value! I almost cried, I was so happy with how amazing it looked. I absolutely reccomend him. He only takes cash though.
