A1 Shoe Repair & Alteration

I brought in a pair of work boots that still had plenty of life in the leather, but needed new soles. Turn around was fast and the price was very reasonable. The owner was really friendly and did an amazing job on my boots. I was very happy with the finished product.

I need to have my shoe built up, lost an inch in a motorcycle wreck. Ove the last 40 years I have had work done by at least 10 different cobblers. Some were licensed PROSTHETISTS. No one has ever done a better job than A1. When I buy tennis shoes I'll typically get 5 pair at a time. I'm guessing over the years he has done 30 pair. I just bought 2 pair of danner boots @ $380 a pair. I know they will be well taken care of.

Had a pair of loggers that needed some serious surgery. Got them back to me super quick at a very reasonable price.

He's so friendly and the only place I go to to get a lift for my shoes. Never had any issues with him been going since I was in 1st grade.

Yep, quite competent and prompt. And, also, he does not accept Credit cards.

I have been taking my shoes here for years! Always appreciate the nice customer service and great repairs.

I needed to have my motorcycle boots re-soled. Did a fantastic job!

I had only been in the area out of happenstance when my boots' heels became shot and left me with a bad back. I had noticed this business years ago and was curious about it, but since I am in Mount Vernon so infrequently I had never had any work done here until now. I didn't even realize the boots' heels were that bad until he pointed out the issue. They were repaired that day for a reasonable price. However, my boots are blue and were partially polished black. Guess he didn't notice the fact that they are blue or he didn't have that color, not sure; either way they will quickly become scuffed and I can polish them blue again. For now they can have a sort of cool look. Overall happy with the work. It's upsetting that it will cost so much though to have the soles or even a welt redone, regardless of where I take them; because by that point one might as well just buy new boots for the same or similar money which sort of defeats the purpose of cobblers like this remaining in business.
