Services: Shoe Repairs

As I've mentioned in previous posts, a true gentleman needs several people in his life to keep him properly maintained; a reliable and quality shoe repairman is one such person. Whether you need a simple polish or new soles, a good shoe man is a must in any gentleman's life. If it's true that women pay attention to a gentleman's shoe, and often make a judgement call based on their assesment, then I always want to look polished.

I purchased this pair of Ralph Lauren split-toe spectators nearly 15 years ago. Originally, the surface on top was done in a white suede; beautiful to behold, but a headache to maintain. It seemed as though each time that I wore them, invariably, I'd spill water onto the suede! Eventually, I took them to Deluxe Shoe Repair in Newport Beach and asked if they could replace the suede with a white leather. They did and I've never been happier with my spectators. I loved the suede, but paying $20.00 for each cleaning was becoming rather tiresome and expensive. For now, I'm back in business. As with all of my shoes, because I'm diligent about using cedar shoe trees and I take them in for routine  polishing and heel replacements, as needed, after 15 years, these spectators really do look nearly brand-new.

I would really like to know if "Deluxe" can replace the linen on my linen and leather spectators. I love the shoes, had them for years, but the linen is starting to "fray" in places. I don't want to get new ones. If not there, does anyone have an idea about a shoe repair shop that is known for doing a good job on shoes with this problem?

It's awesome that you mentioned it's important to have a reliable shoe repair professional in your life. My sister's wedding is coming up, and I'm thinking about what to wear. Of course, I'm wearing a tuxedo, but I'm not sure about getting a new pair of shoes. I have a pair of elegant and beautiful shoes, but sadly, they're sole are a little bit spilled. But after reading your piece, I think there's hope for them. I'm grateful for your advice on how a good shoe repairman makes miracles!

    I was born in the country, but brought up in the big city, with hopes of always maintaining the charm, wit and character of a southern,      sophisticated
    gentleman. In my goal to live more  passionately & purposefully, here are just a few things  that  I've  learned and experienced along the way, making my journey more interesting, and more importantly, easier.
