Lemus & Sons Shoe Repair

I guess I shouldn’t complain. I just read the last review and it was $ 75 for a re-​sole. He did just the heel on both my boots for $ 10. I love mom and pop shops because of the courteousness and deals however I went to pick up my boots 3 days after they were promised and he couldn’t find them!!! They hadn’t been done. I had to wait for his son to come back so he could finish them. I had already left them for over a week!!! I tried to remain calm however we are in the 21^st century not everyone moves at this slow pace. What Erks me more is, if you make a promise keep it. That shouldn’t change. By the way. They weren’t shined. Good thing my dad taught me that part of the art when I was a little girl.

If you’re at the intersection of I-​10 west and West ave. you’re naturally inclined to drive with the windows up, doors locked, and a little more aware given that it’s not a safe neighborhood. But since I’m newbie in San Antonio, I stumbled upon this area by accident and I feel very fortunate that I did because I found this boot repair craftsman!
Although I did not get the elderly gentleman’s name who greeted me and repaired the boots, he was very thorough and professional about inspecting the work that needs be done to repair your shoes. He can only speak Spanish but, his craftsmanship is worth learning the language.
The building itself has tons of catholic paraphernalia, and he is always watching spanish talk shows and novelas on a sofa behind the check-​in counter! For $ 75 I got brand spanking new leather soles and my boots polished to a beautiful slick black!
He accepts cash only, is closed on christian holidays and the parking is very hard to access!
