Roger Shoe Repairs

People travel far and wide for good service and it’s clear by the constant queue at Roger’s that he is worth the trip.
Rodger believe every shoe has a sole worth fixing as no matter how small or big the job, the same amount of love goes into it. This is apparent by the stacks upon stacks of shoes on the counter.
I dropped off my shoes to get TOPY put on my leather soles and Rodger was full of charm. He charged me $ 30 as the price of TOPY has gone up and he was only $ 1.50 profit, so I was happy to pay the little bit extra.
It’s clear that Rodger doesn’t do it for the money as he could charge a lot more for his service, but for the happy customers that keep on coming back.

Not the cheapest, but certainly very good.

Had some shoe stitching done promptly and effectively, price is very reasonable. Owner is a great guy

Great service. I got my Italian leather shoes reheeled at a very reasonable rate. They even used Topy rubbers. Workmanship second to none I will return. Highly recommended.

The best shoe repairer I have ever stepped foot in!
After having heard some good reviews, I had plans to step in there for months and months. Meanwhile, my shoes were getting even more wrecked with accidents with piers, escalators and drunken stomping.
After finding out total resoles are only around $ 35 and each heel repair is only $ 10, I made it my priority to bring all my shoes which needed repairing.
Armed with 10 and a half pairs of shoes Roger greeted me, giving me a discount on my shoes which needed resoling and even gave me some which required very small work free of charge. My total shoe repair bill was only $ 140, much cheaper than Mister Minit who would have charged around $ 270 for the same job.
My 10 and a half pairs of shoes are now in wonderful condition, the heel replacements are of excellent quality, providing me with confidence that I can trash my repaired heels for many nights to come.
Roger is very friendly, great with shoes and very lovely to all his customers.
This is the only place I will bring my shoes to now.

Finally I’ve found a shoe «doctor» that knows his trade and is in it because of his passion (and does it at a very reasonable price).
Like the first reviewer, I found Mr Minit in Broadway Centre a rip off and provider of inferior service. Every time.
A colleague suggested I try Roger. And now I feel like I’ve just won lotto.
On my previous visits, his son Nathan served me — a lovely young gentleman offering the same great customer service his father is well-​renowned for.
Today, I finally met Roger. And what a pleasure that has been.
As a female, I disagree about him being charming/​flattering (in an flirting way). He is a sincere gentleman who speaks from the heart and is passionate about his trade and his customers. Actually, it’s not just about his customers, Roger loves people and treats them kindly. Full stop. We could all take a lesson from him.
I digress, let me get back to the workmanship. Roger (and team) treat your shoes as they would treat their own. That is their quality control benchmark (and what makes them superior to many other shoe repairs outlets). They perform shoe miracles. And then there are the prices — these haven’t changed in 10 years! This combination of quality workmanship, low prices and great customer service results in Roger being busy 7 days a week for 10+ years (I didn’t ask how long he has been in business, but from the price discussion we had, I know it’s more than 10 years).
I’ve had a few pairs of shoes and boots resoled. Never paid more than $ 30. For my RM Williams boots, the quoted price was reduced to $ 25 as they weren’t able to do the stitching on the replacement rubber soles (and that’s a large sole). Another time, he replaced the soles and rescued the leather on the heels of a pair of hand-​made shoes (damaged by getting stuck in-​between the city’s loose brickwork) and only charged $ 30. The shoes look great and the price is low. And having a lovely chat with Roger was priceless.
When I collected my first shoe repair, I sat on the couch to put them on. While sitting there, there were 2 instances of passers-​by telling their companions that this was the only place to go to for shoe repairs. Too true.
His shop is a little out of my way, but hey, when you get good workmanship at a very affordable price, mixed with great customer service, I’m more than willing to make the detour.

I feel like my last review of Roger was a bit mean, on account of his over-​friendly antics with females.
Since then, there has been a COWBOY BOOT MIRACLE. Meaning: Roger fixed my cowboy boots back into near mint condition — they were looking tragic before (an after effect of the salt on the roads in Chicago). For a patch-​up job, loads of stitching, and a new sole, plus new soles on another pair of boots: $ 60 total. That is seriously cheap. So tell your mother, tell your brother, Roger is the place to go to get your shoes repaired.
