Vinny's A-1 Shoe Repair was passed down to owner Vinny from his father, who retired in 2003. "Dad comes in a couple of times a week and still likes to get involved" doing minor repairs and shoe shines, according to Vinny. The shop has a week and half turnaround on repairs and prides itself on personalized service. Leather sealants, cleaning supplies, arch supports and insoles are sold as well, with a selection that includes German imports Tacco Nova.
