Easily seen from Lorna road, just one block

on a corner lot with ample parking for even the busiest of days.
Just look for our sign. |

Check in and check out at Hoover Shoe Repair is a breeze,
it's all computerized! Two computer stations get you in and
out in a hurry. |

Our computer system speeds up the process of
check in and check out, and also ensures your work will be done on time,
every time. Best of all, your items will never get lost! Did
you forget to pick up your items? No problem! Our computer
tells us who has left their items here, and we will call you with a
friendly reminder. |

Shelves full of repair work, just waiting to
be picked up by their owners. Each pair of shoes is bagged with a
tracking tag containing a barcode, which is scanned by our computer at
checkout. No need to keep up with your claim check. |

Hoover Shoe Repair has a spacious retail
area, full of leather goods, shoe care items, and accessories for your
shopping needs. If we don't have an item you need, let us know and
we can order it for you. |

Here you can see three different full
lines of liners and inserts, as well as orthopedic cushions and shoe
stretchers. |

horns, and more. |

Beautiful leather goods, including wallets,
belts and leather bags from Fossil. |
Repair area: |

Here's the men's shoe repair bench.
Full soles and heels and half-soles and heels are torn down, glued back
together, and cut to shape here. |

Ladies shoe repair bench, everything from
rubber heel taps to new soles and heels are performed here. Folks
love to come in and watch Tony work on ladies shoes through the window
to the retail area. |

Here's a wide shot of the sewing room.
Leather repairs and handbags are sewn on the sewing machine in the
front, in the back you can see the machines that sew soles to shoes. |

More in the patching room, see the band saw,
auto-soler (for putting heel bases on shoes), and Landis McKay sewing
machine for soles. |

Dye booth. We dye satin shoes, and
leather shoes as well. Here's where the magic is done. |

The Finisher. Shoes are sanded down
and made ready for new soles on the wheels to the left. Trimming
and polishing shoes also happens here. This photo was taken on a
rare occasion where the finisher was nearly clear of shoes. |
