Rodney is skilled, very honest, and always a pleasure to deal with.
Rodney is very familar with orthopedic work on shoes. Had to have lifts put on my shoes due to leg length problem. Rodney did an amazing job at a fair price. Very happy with the results.
Fantastic service! I got my used dress shoe soles repaired within days and I have no question about the quality and longevity. Rodney knows what he’s doing, and he does it well.
So we pulled into Kingston late on a Friday afternoon, after a 3.5-hour drive, as we were going to a wedding in town, and we realized we had forgotten the shoe polish the Mrs required for her shoes.We had to fix this. We called Kingston Shoe Repair at 10 minutes to 5 on Friday. They close at 5. We arrived in time, where I was greeted by Rodney.Rodney accommodated us, and he wouldn't just give us the brown shoe polish without seeing the shoe (I left it in the car in a panic). We matched the required color. The shoes were perfect.Rodney saved the day! The smile on my wife's face when I had the polish was awesome!I'll tell you what else Rodney had: the best-quality belt I have ever purchased! If you need a belt, go to Kingston Shoe Repair.Thanks for saving the day, Rodney. You are a true professional. All the best!
I brought a pair of ~6 year old winter boots here as the inside of the boot where the heel slides in was starting to tear. They did a great job fixing the issue and cleaning/re-waterproofing the boots. I actually think the repaired area is stronger now than before, as it was replaced with a leather material rather than fabric, as was there before. The repair is invisible to anyone looking at the outside of the boot. All in all, was a great experience and the work was done for an affordable price.
