Post Shoe repair person in Nisantasi, Şişli, Taksim
I have a pair of timberland boat shoes and the lace snapped. With most shoes not a problem but with these ones the laces go through the back of the shoe through the leather etc. Would anyone happen to know a competent shoe repair person they could recommend in the areas above.

thanks

If thou love thy timberlands, maybe better take them to a competence center in another area of this world. Or DIY.

Post shoe repair in nisantasi
An amazing show repair is on cumhurriyet in nisantasi.

It is on the side of nisantasi in front of the train stop by the Ramada Hotel. Although it is directly opposite. Four men are in the front that do shoe cleaning and an amazing one or two men in the back that do a really great job on shoes.

No english speakers there, but a lot of traffic in the shoe repair shop, you are bond to find one that speaks english that can help.
