I recently had a terrible experience with Admiral Shoe Repair. I brought in a pair of dress shoes in which the upper had started to separate from the sole. It seemed like a simple enough glue job…. He pointed out that the heels were somewhat worn and recommended recapping them; total cost $74 with tax.
I got them home, wore them once or twice and realized that the upper was still (again?) separating from the soles. ‘Took them back in and he insisted it was “New Broke!” and charged me another $14 to fix them again. When I got them back the second time, before wearing them, I saw that there was still separation and brought them in again. He again insisted there was new damage and wanted to charge me yet again for repairing the shoes. I left in disgust, with my shoes.
Never going back and I would not recommend him.
