I'm still shaken from the worst experience ever. I have never been treated so badly. The owner yelled at me an started a screaming match with me, after he couldn't find my shoes and blamed me for not coming in to pick them up. I told him I called several times, and left messages and no one called me back. I also told him the women I left them with said she would call me, and she never did. He wouldn't listen to me, and kept repeating the 30 day policy and blaming me for their inability to locate my shoes. After a long search and finally locating the shoes in the back (wrong ticket was the issue), he acted like he was still going to fix the shoes. I told him I did not want them to work on my shoes, after the way he treated me. He started a screaming match, and was very hurtful and rude. He said I was a negative customer, and he didn't need negative customers. I was only defending myself from verbal abuse, and was physically shaken from what I felt as being verbally attacked. I would not want ANYONE to experience this awful behavior. Please save yourself and do not go to this store!

Description of Work: They took over a month to redo the soles, it was mediocre quality, expensive, and when I went by when they said it would be ready, they hadn't even started on them. Finally they had them ready and they couldn't find the shoes, I had to go into their back room and find them for them. I'm a patient person but this was not a good experience.

They were able to replace a zipper pull that I hadn't been able to fix for years. I couldn't find anyone else to do it. While it took three weeks because they had to find a pull, it works well and I was happy to wait. I thought it was overpriced considering that it was just a pull, but I don't have any idea how to value this service.

Service was friendly and it took about a week. I thought the price was reasonable and I am happy with the results. Dropping another pair off today. I do recommend keeping up with your ticket, it will make the pick up much smoother. Especially when you are dropping something off as common as black dress shoes or boots.
Description of Work: Repaired a damage heel on black leather boots.

Overall this was a surprisingly good experience.
Description of Work: The shoes that I took to Arris for repair were, unfortunately, beyond repair. I was impressed by the friendliness and expertise of the Arris employee. I would return in the future without hesitation.

It went very well. The drop off was easy, as was pick up. I thought it was a little pricey, but other than that, a great experience.
Description of Work: I spent $194 having five pair shoes repaired and some completely resoled. Given that they were expensive shoes to begin with, I thought spending about $40/pair to have them fixed was a bit expensive, but hopefully not a regular maintenance activity. The service was prompt and friendly.

The service took 2 weeks, but my bag looked great when I received it. The price was also much better than competitors (I went to 4 other places who either could not do the work, could not guantee the work, or were crazy expensive). I will absolutley use Arris again!
Description of Work: Arris cleaned & protected my suade work bag/laptop bag.

I was greeted by the owner of this small shoe repair shop. He examined the three pairs of shoes I brought in and gave an estimate to repair two pairs. He felt the third pair was not worth the cost of the needed repairs. I know have two pairs of dress shoes that have been resoled and look like new.
Description of Work: Repaired and resoled two pairs of dress shoes.
