George Shoe Repair Inc
George Shoe Repair Inc is a shoe repair shop at 1603 U St NW on the U Street corridor. Boots, heels, soles, leather work and polishing are the most common jobs in its reviews; one longtime customer remembers the shop's earlier spot at 13th and U.
It has a 4.1-star Google rating across 67 reviews, with 49 five-star and 12 one-star. Regulars praise fair prices and quality work, say repairs are quick, and say the shop will redo a job if you're unhappy; one credits it with keeping shoes going for 10 to 15 years. Critics cite curt phone and counter service, trouble when a ticket is lost, and one poorly done purse strap repair, so non-shoe leather goods may be hit or miss.
The shop is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8 AM–6:30 PM, Wednesday 8 AM–6 PM and Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, and closed Sunday.
