George Shoe Repair Inc

"George was nice when I took my first boot for cutting down the heel. I promised to bring 2 boots of the same type with different colors. I took the boots and Grorge promised to make the heels the same height as the first pair. George was snappy when I called to check on the boots. I noticed the heels on the 2 pairs are not the same length as the first heel. I also noticed I could not walk distances when I wore the first boot. The cut down length isn’t level. I did not notice this problem while I was at the shop. I do not like paying up front. Normally services are not paid for until the service have been provided. I am not happy about the service and feel uncomfortable that I have to confront him about not being satisfied with his work. I will ask him to fix the problems or return my money. I hope he can be friendly again."

"Performed the best boot sole and heel replacement I've ever commissioned. Also did so more quickly and for a slightly lower price than other cobblers I have patronized in DC."

"I’ve been going to George Shoe Repair for years and am always very pleased with the quality of service & quick turnarounds. Just got two pairs of boots repaired including getting my beloved 10 year old Frye boots resoled. They were in terrible condition and George’s shoe repair brought them back to life! I wish I had taken a before photo of them with holes in the sole and the heel worn away. Here’s an after picture so you can see their good work. Thank you George’s Shoe Repair! I’ll be back for ALL of my shoe repair needs."

"George’s shoe repair charged me $180 to replace the zippers on a pair of leather boots. I thought that was pricy even for DC, and upfront payment was required. The stitching job also turned out messy (I uploaded photos), and they acknowledged that it didn’t look nice. When I asked for some kind of discount they refused and said their machinery couldn't do the job any neater, which was disappointing - it really affects how the boots look. I do give them credit for replacing the zippers and adjusting the boot width well. They also cleaned my boots which was nice. However, I was really disappointed in the aesthetic of the stitching, especially for the price."

"George's is amazing! My boots were so worn- the heels were completely down and the leather was very gross. The new heel caps they put on are even better than the originals, and the leather looks just like new! I'll never go anywhere else for shoe repair. Thank you!"
