Messina Shoe Repair

Have used this business for years. I live two counties away and still drive to Messina’s. Have tried another place once and it made me a believer. I will never go another place as long as MESSINA is in business.

Best shoe repair shop in DFW! I’ve had literally hundreds of pairs fixed over the last 20+ years! Never had an issue! The owner has a real art to his work! He also does alterations, purse/​bag repairs, etc! He fixed my high end Hermes bag and it looked just as great as it did the day I bought it! He’s super inexpensive and fast! Highly recommend!

I really hate giving local businesses bad reviews, but in this instance I have to. Twice I’ve taken in shoes for repair, one was reattaching sole that was pulling away from the main part of the shoe and the other was fixing the heel of the shoe. Both times, the job was so poorly done that the shoes weren’t worth wearing again.
When I took the shoes to have the soles reattached, I also asked that the insole (or whatever you call it on heels) be replaced because it was starting to bunch up. When I got them back the insole had been replaced, but a very poorly done job, it looked like a child had been given the task to cut out a please of leather (or whatever it was) and that piece was glued down. As for the sole, it wasn’t even really reattached, but simply glued back into place, so that the first time I wore them they fell apart within minutes.
The second pair (yes I believe in giving second chances) was a pair of heels I loved in which the black covering on the heel was pulling away. Took them in, picked them up a week later and they had simply glued the piece back into place. That’s NOT a real repair!
Apparently, this place is only capable of repairing cowboy boots, because my brother has had a couple of pair resoled her without any problems, but as for me, never again!
