I dropped a pair of boots off I needed resoled and new heels put on. I needed them done for my brother in laws wedding in a short turn around time. Al did amazing work, boots were like brand new and done exactly how I wanted them. He also had them ready 4 days before I needed them. Thank you Al for the excellent work.
