I use the guys above the 7th avenue Q train stop and they do a great job. They have helped me keep shoes going for a long time and they work fast!

There is a shoe repair guy at 268 14th St, who does excellent work very, very inexpensively, and has the shoes ready when promised.
I offered him the option of doing a more extensive (and expensive) fix on my shoes than he had suggested (figuring they would eventually need it anyway), and he declined... wasn't even tempted by the extra $$.
I was quite pleased with his work.

I second the guy on Flatbush cor of 7th/park pl

I third that suggestion, of the guys on Flatbush near Carleton/Park Place....though I think they moved one storefront down Flatbush, off of Carleton, fyi......good guys who do good work for a good price - and if you go in more than once, remember you and always ask after your family etc.....a nice neighborhood shop.

i didn't think the guys on the corner of park / flatbush / carlton did a great job last i went there, but the ones on the other side of flatbush (the park slope side of the q train entrance) are great.
the place is called professional italian shoe repair, they're a little rough around the edges personality wise, but the guy saved my boots... twice... in the last 2 months. re-heeled them before a vacation, then fixed a broken side zipper and literally re-stitched the fabric on the inside of the boot in the heels, hiding the stitching so you couldn't see if through on the outside.
you're welcome to stay, but even your company must compliment the feng-shui. -
i don't know if this matters, but one pair of shoes is a pair of cydwoqs (so they're kind of weird shoes) and the other is pair of trippen boots that just needs a polish//clean up.
do the recommendations stay the same for non-traditional fancy shoes?

"Professional Italian Shoe Repair" by the Q entrance is very good. He loves good shoes. Once my wife brought in a pair of Fratelli-Rosetti shoes for a repair and he said there was another repair needed also. She said no, she'd do the other repair later. He did both anyway, charging only for the first, just because they were 'nice shoes and they needed it'...
