"If the shoe doesn't fit, repair it" is the motto of Izet Music, whose shop has been open in downtown Stamford since 1986 and who has been making shoes since the age of 13. The smell of fresh leather fills the air of Izet's Leather & Shoe Repair, which provides repairs of all leather goods including Garmin leather, as well as shoe repair and minor alterations to any existing leather product. The shop is also the only store in the area offering German brand Collonil Shoe Polish, considered the best on the market, according to the owner. This establishment fully understands the meaning of quality European craftsmanship, exceeding well beyond the services of your average shoemaker. "We know our work, we know our customers, and we know our product, so all finished work is 100% guaranteed the old fashioned way," says Music.
