Shoe Repair and Alterations in Chelsea, Manhattan
Resoles, heel repair, zippers, alterations, and dry cleaning, done by hand on 9th Avenue, a few steps from Penn Station. Drop off in the morning, most repairs are ready the same day.
What we do at the bench
Every job gets a claim ticket, so you always know when your pair is ready.
Resoling & heel repair
New soles, rebuilt heels, and edge finishing for leather and rubber, on dress shoes, boots, and everyday pairs.
Shoe shine & care
Cleaning, conditioning, and a hand shine that brings tired leather back, while you wait at the counter.
Zipper replacement
Boot and jacket zippers replaced with matching hardware, sewn in rather than glued on.
Alterations
Hemming, taking in, and general clothing alterations, fitted and pinned on site before stitching.
Dry cleaning
Garment drop-off and pickup alongside your shoe repair, one stop before you head back out on 9th Avenue.
Stretching & fit
Width and length stretching for shoes that pinch, so a good pair does not end up in the back of the closet.
A trade measured in millimeters, not guesses
Every resole starts with a close look at the wear pattern, so the fix matches how you actually walk. It is slower than a machine stamp, and it is why pairs come back for a second and third repair instead of the trash.
A corner shop on 9th Avenue
M&G Shoe Repair & Alterations has been the walk-in stop for Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen commuters who need a heel fixed, a zipper replaced, or a hem taken in without shipping a pair off somewhere and waiting a week.
The shop runs on the same idea most old-school repair shops do: look at the shoe, tell you what it actually needs, and fix it while you go run the rest of your errands. No mail-in forms, no guessing at a price online, just a counter and a bench.
Regulars know Marcelo and the team for straight answers on whether a pair is worth resoling or ready for retirement, and for keeping decades-old dress shoes and work boots in rotation.
Visit the shop
Walk-ins welcome. Call ahead if you need same-day service on a busy morning.
