Shoe resoleing in Toronto?

[Sammyman]

I seem to have worn a hole in the sole of my AE shoes. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good cobbler in Toronto? I was looking at Nick's Shoe Repair, does anyone have experience with them?
The uppers are still in great shape, so I'm hesitant to send them back to AE. Will they typically restitch the new sole on, or just glue it?

Thanks

There's a pretty good one in the underground concourse underneath Holt Renfrew -- I can't remember the name, but I think it's off near the entrance to Bay subway station.

There's also one near the post-office place in the Manulife centre basement. I've never used it, but the guy who works there is an awesome old-school London ex-boxer, and it's worth going in just to chat with him!

You can try Novelty Shoe Rebuilders on Yonge street. They should be able to do it but I have never used them to resole.
