I most say this is by far the BEST shoe repair shop I have ever been to. Paul and Jeri do excellent work. There friendly and professional customer service is an add bonus. I have taken countless numbers of shoes, sandals, boots, handbags, leather couch cushion, and most recently had to leather watch bands repaired. Vance shoe repair is by far the BEST that I know of.
