Tam-O-Shanter Shoe Service

I just drove down here, this store no longer exists here. I was told by a friend that it was here few years back, but it’s no longer here. Dunno if he moved somewhere else.

I took my beloved boots to Tam O’Shanter after reading Carmen’s review and I was pleasantly satisfied. The gentleman took one look at my boots and asked ‘Heels and soles?’ and I nodded. That was that.
I went back after 5 days, he told me I could come back in three. The soles and heels looked brand new, but then so did the rest of my boots, as they were fantastically polished. I couldn’t do a better job polishing them if I spent 2 days doing it.
Guess who’s looking forward to winter now?

Did you trip and stub the toe of those brand new black leather shoes? Or do you have a hot date and just realized that your best heels need a little TLC? If so, then Tam O’Shanter is the place for you!
The owner is an elderly man who is always singing Italian songs when you go in. He is so sweet and loves to chat. As you’d expect, the shop smells of leather and shoe polish, and it’s aged, but in a way that makes you realize your leather goods are in the right hands. His prices are very fair, the turnaround time is quick and his work is almost magical — I’d completely torn the toe off of a pair of shoes and once he was finished, you could hardly tell.
The shop is located in a strip center at Sheppard and Birchmount and is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
