A few weeks ago while I was putting on these shoes, I noticed that the sole under the pointy toe was peeling back a little. EGAD! These are Manolos! Where do I take them to be fixed?
I WISH I had taken a 'before' pic. Seriously. You would not believe how I mangled the delicate toe of these shoes.
Enter The Sole Man, in Waban, MA (a town within Newton, MA). Eddie Keshishian is a genius. The after pictures say it all. Seriously, these shoes look like BRAND NEW! A few days and $35 dollars later, I have brand new, ready-to-go heels.

However, the mean brick sidewalks of Boston took a toll on my snakeskin pumps. The snakeskin on the back of the heels was rubbed up, exposing the shaft underneath (I cannot believe I actually might have gone out with them like this), the sole under the toe was wearing through, and the inside of the heel was mangled. A late night internet search showed that they weren't made any more. Sniff.
Off to The Sole Man. No problem he said. The only things that might be tricky were fixing the snakeskin on the back and matching the leather to the inside of the heel were it was mangled. I said "Do your best!". And voila! He did.

Check him out for your shoe needs. He's at 95 Wyman Street in Waban, next to Starbucks and the Waban T station.
