Any recommendations? I'm looking for someone who can do a 3/4 heel buildup to a single shoe, to compensate for having a shorter leg.

Perry Ercolino, perhaps better known for bespoke shoes, I am told does shoe repair (no personal experience). He's in Doyletown at:

51 E. Oakland Avenue
Doylestown, PA 18901

215.348.5885

http://www.perryercolino.com/

You might want to call ahead just to verify.

Good luck!

Rossi has a good reputation, but I've not used him. On the basis of personal experience, I can recommend Fidelity (17th and Walnut in center city) and Carman's (in Chestnut Hill).

I have been using Capa on Chestnut St. for over a decade with good results. If you're in CC give them a try.
