I have never been to one before, but today I need to get two pairs of heels fixed. How do they work? What should I say? How much am I looking at paying? |

No need to say anything. Point to the offending heels and they'll get the idea.
I paid 10,000 won to get new soles (and heels) on my rockports. I'd guess that women's shoes are cheaper on account of the really small heel. |

Thanks. The only reason why I ask is because I know someone who got ripped off at one of those places. He asked for new soles and the guy put in 30,000 soles and charged him 10,000 for laces.
How long will it take? I suspect they are fast because they do it so often. |
