Gino's Modern Shoe repair on 32nd Ave NE and Center Street. Modern may be questionable - Gino has been repairing shoes for 70 (seventy!) years. He does amazing work. Great guy. His wife also does alterations. When ever I take my shoes to him I get a free lecture on how to lace them properly, how I should be caring for them, and usually fresh fruit from his garden! He is as great for the experience as for the work!
Sadly, I believe many of the homes on his block are being taken over by the city for redevelopment, and once he moves he is shutting down his business. Give him a try while he is still there. You will enjoy him.
