A Capitol Hill shoe repair shop

We fix sandals all summer, so we know what lasts.

i.

Leather first

Real leather straps soften and shape to your foot instead of cracking like synthetics.

ii.

Repairable

Stitched straps and leather or rubber soles can be repaired, so a good pair lasts years.

iii.

Honest sizing

Every pair lists U.S. sizes and fit notes, and a real person answers sizing questions.

From the repair bench

Stitched straps outlast glued ones.

Questions, answered

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

U.S. orders of $100 or more ship free; orders under $100 ship for a flat $7.95. Sandals ship in 2–5 business days (many are made to order) and arrive in 3–7 business days with tracking. Shipping policy

What if they don't fit?

Unworn shoes in original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Try them on indoors. Refund policy

What size should I order?

Order your usual U.S. size. Between sizes, choose the larger one; leather straps soften and relax slightly with wear.

Do leather sandals stretch?

A little. Straps soften over the first week; clogs and mules should feel snug at first but not pinch.

Do you sell wood furniture too?

Yes — solid wood consoles, shelves, tables and decor, made to order by small workshops.
