Had 4 pairs of shoes repiared there in the past two months, each requiring either repair by a different shop or being redone by them. Frustrating to say the least, as they are NOT cheap. I had the front tips and back heels replaced (just the little black piece on the bottom) on all four pairs. The heels they used wore down to the nailhead in 3 wearings and one pair of heels had the front tips so badly glued back that they caught on every carpet wore them on. After one wearing at my carpeted office, I took them back and insisted they be glued and fixed properly. This is basic shoe repair I asked for. Returning to an out of the way cobbler to avoid the high prices and shoddy work at Jim's. They might be good for a shine, but simple shoe repair is not work the price.
Pros: convenient midtown location
Cons: high prices; bad quality work
