IMC Recommends: Local Mr Fix-It

Tint Shoppe

A few weeks ago, the heel of one of my favorite pairs of boots completely came off. To make things worse, it had happened downtown on a snowy day.

At first, I procrastinated getting it fixed since I didn’t know where to take it. When I finally decided I needed to, I read a few reviews online and took it to the Tint Shoppe. It’s located on Orrington, a half block past the Orrington Hotel and few stores down from Ben & Jerry’s.

The guy was really nice and even fixed the zipper on my parka for free! His wife also runs a dry cleaning and tailoring service by the same name.

The only thing was that it takes about a week for a heel to get replaced. But maybe that’s because I’m used to it being done in about an hour at home.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and price ($12 for a stiletto heel).
