My go to for shoe repair. Most recently, I had a pair of white To Boot New York Sneakers with a sole that was coming unstitched. Not only did they repair, but they cleaned them up and got them looking like new with leather treatment/coloring and new laces. Literally saved me from throwing the pair of shoes away. Highly recommend.
