Golden Slipper Modern Boot Repair is a friendly and interesting mom and pop shop in south Austin. It is by far the best shoe repair place to go to. The owner is kind, honest, professional, and fantastic. The shop offers very reasonably priced and affordable repairs, including stripping and dyeing, leather treatment, shines, and elastic replacement. Work is done expertly, with excellent communication and outcomes, often making items look better than new. It is a beautiful slice of old Austin with a great selection of used boots for sale. A+ and highly recommended.
I have been coming to see Abel for 7yrs and he’s never let they down. In fact, I just got some of my Tecova, The Dean boots repaired and I was commenting to my partner that I think he’s getting even better because they’re fantastic.

Great shoe repair, and also adapts luggage if you need bands to slip over suitcase handles or extra shoulder straps on your rolling computer case; creative and quality work. Love this shop!
