K & J Shoe Repair

This place is a gem. Last winter I needed to get several pairs of boots repaired. The repairs were for things like button loops, minor stuff. I took them to a nearby place on Western Avenue. They wanted to charge me $ 200, more than the combined price of the 3 pairs. I left there and was on my way east on 111^th Street when I came across J&K. It’s in the basement of the building and the gents inside could not have been friendlier and helpful. The shop was cluttered, like most repair shops. While we waited, we got a history lesson from the owner who says he’s been there for over 40 years. He was funny and a little risqué, but he told a good story. Long story short, to repair all 3 pairs cost $ 25.00. We’ve been back several times and have referred others there as well. No one has a bad thing to say.
