Bob’s Shoe and Leather Service
70 7th Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217
I took all of my shoes here when I Iived in Park Slope and would go here again if I didn’t have another highly recommended cobbler in my new neighborhood of Carroll Gardens. (Michael’s at 319 Smith Street. I haven’t been yet but plan to this week!) Bob re-soled all my flimsy shoes from the Row and made them likely to last many years to come.
Nordstrom’s Shoe Care
Nordstrom Men’s 235 W. 57th St., New York, NY 10019
In the basement of the Nordstrom men’s store is a hidden cobbler shop run by a guy named CJ who is a real pro. (And a huge sneakerhead.) He made my green suede Dries Van Noten sneakers look as good as new by cleaning and waterproofing them. Was fast, too! I picked them up same day.
