Any recommendations out there for a good, high-quality, shoe repair shop in South Slope? Quality is more important than cost in this situation. Thanks.

    I think they closed. Wasn't someone complaining that they closed without notice and she had no idea how to get her shoes back? My apologies to the shoe place if I dreamed that or made it up . . . .

    There's a place on Windsor St. btw. PPW and 10th Ave. (closer to PPW and right near the subway entrance). He's closed on Saturdays and all Jewish holidays.

    I looked in the window a couple of hours ago. The look open to me and the A sign was outside. Closed Sunday and Monday. 830-5 Tuesday to Saturday...I think.

    CRAP. I was going to go there tomorrow but those hours mean I won't be able to pick up 'til god knows when.

    Anywhere else around that does repairs in either direction down 5th?

    YES - Angelo's on 14th and 5th. I second the recommendation. He's an old toothless Italian man - very genial, and is more reliably open than the place on 9th (which I've walked by more than once during their stated business hours and they've been randomly closed).

    anyone have the exact address for Angelo's shoe repair?
    I looked on this map (which is usually very accurate) and I don't see it.

    that's because he's on 14th St., just around the corner from 5th (technically between 5th & 6th).

    I found the shoe repair place, yet when I went by in the morning on Friday around 8:45, it was all closed up.

    Does anyone know when the place is open? Mornings? Nights? weekends?
    No number was posted on the awning, otherwise I would call.

    thanks!
