I was in a rush for a job interview, and needed some help buying new dress shoes asap. Brian was amazing and helped me pick out some great new dress shoes and some good socks to go with them. Thank you again for your help in my hour of need!

I’ve brought several pairs of shoes to Brian over the last year and the quality of his work is excellent. He’s friendly and his prices are reasonable. His business represents so much of what I love about Buffalo’s small business ecosystem - pride in ownership, friendly neighborhood vibe, and a passion for craftsmanship.

Vintage woven loafers lost in dad's closet for years letting the sole glue rot. Saved and given new life!! New soles, new pads on the collars, like new shoes! Hope to get another 40 years out of them.
