Editorial Review for Brooks Shoe Service – by Valerie Moloney
In Short
Third-generation cobbler Mike Morelli repairs stretched out, water worn and faded shoes and restores them back to a like-new condition. Morelli and his team can manually stretch shoes to fit feet, replace heels, replace soles, move straps and buckles and repair leather goods. Local theater production companies regularly call on the business for restoration work, as do big-name retailers and designers such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Stuart Weitzman, Jill Sander and Prada.

Forget about “forget the hype” Brooks shoes have been a mainstay in the Chicago Market with unwavering service and quality work. I’ve used them over the past twenty five years; my friends have used them for as long or longer. If you really need your Ferragamos, Aldens, Tods… and the like become as new again, there is no better place to go. American craftsmanship at it’s very best! Thank you.
Pros: Quality craftsmanship; Very kind staff; Quick replies to email
Cons: Nothing so far

After a recent experience at Brooks, here are three reasons why I recommend not soliciting this establishment: 1) I was quoted a price for a given amount of work, and they ended up doing less work than they had said (without notifying me!) and permanently altering my item in a manner in which I didn't want. 2) Exorbitantly expensive, given the amount of work that was done 3) I was treated extremely rudely by the owner
