Dear SF members in Chicago,

I am looking to add metal toe caps on my brand new Edward Green Dovers. May I have your recommendation on where to send them?

I see that Brooks Shoe Repair has been mentioned for high quality work, albeit with rather lukewarm yelp reviews.

Thank you!

I have the same question. When I asked Sean at Leffot, he recommended the cobbler in the same building. I don't recall his name.

Just looking up on Google, I think it must be Shoe Hospital, just two numbers away from Leffot. I will try them out! Thanks
