Impeccable repairs on 2 pairs of sandals lovingly chewed by family dog. One pair of new Birkenstocks that I thought were a loss and another intricately decorated sandal that is so well done I don’t know which one was chewed.

Stewart was very friendly, helpful and patient. He sized both of my babies and took very good care of us. I definitely highly recommended Irving's shoe store!
