Rafaello Custom Shoe Repair & Leather Craft 204 West 30th Street, Manhattan, New York 10001

"Rafaello is my 5th Shoemaker through the years. His skills are superior to all the others. Highly recommended."

"He took amazing care of me. I asked for serving on my Gucci belt and he has my belt back to me in 30 minutes! Very professional and so kind and reasonably priced !!!"

"Amazing experience!! My daughter wears ankle foot orthotics and buying shoes from a store for her has been a nightmare. I found Rafaello Custom Made Shoes and it has been life changing for her. She walks much better with her custom made shoes and doesn’t complain about discomfort anymore. Highly suggest this place if you have any foot issues that make buying shoes difficult."

"THE BEST SHOES YOU CAN BUY! Shoes made exactly for my foot shape in the exact style I wanted. He can actually make any sort of shoe you could ever want and make it fit better than any you've had. I would highly recommend to anyone for any type of shoe or any foot shape. This pair he made me came out beautiful and I am already picking out my next!"

"Rafaello was recommended to me as my feet are so difficult to fit. I was so disheartened as I could not find shoes to fit me properly. Size 5 1/2 but with bunions so my width is very wide. However I have narrow heels. I also have a very high arch. I brought an old pair of cherished shoes in to be copied. Rafaello made me a fabulous new pair and also fixed up my old pair. I can't recommend him highly enough! First of all, his work is amazing. The new pair of shoes he made for me fit like a dream! They are so comfortable! He also fixed up a pair of boots for me. Plus...once there...you get to schmooze with Rafaello who is totally charming, funny, fascinating, and empathetic. I'm already planning to have him make me a pair of sneakers and fix up other of my shoes that are not comfortable. I might have to be a customer of his for life!"
