Fast Eddie's - The Place for Shoe Repair

I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this - you buy a spendy pair of shoes or boots that quickly become a favorite, only to have the heels wear down quickly (or some other issue that makes you put them on the shelf). 

That recently happened to me, so I did a Google search for "shoe repair Minneapolis" and found Fast Eddie's, 1316 SE 4th Street in Dinkytown.

The owner is Jim, who apprenticed under Fast Eddie for 15 years prior to Eddie's retirement at age 85.  Jim is a genuinely sweet guy who does excellent work. 

If you have footwear collecting dust because they've lost their luster, but you don't want to part with them, I highly recommend taking them to Fast Eddie's.   :)
