Rogers Shoe Service

Roger will be closing his doors for good soon! If you left anything there you should go pick it up before Christmas!

I sent in my shoes for what seemed like an easy repair that would take two weeks maximum. After several calls, most of which unanswered, and 6 weeks later I decided it was not worth the hassle. Someone please help this man with his business. It is an old Iowa City art form that is a dying one and the man in charge needs people willing to learn.

Roger is a great guy that knows his stuff.

Needed a piece of scrap leather for a project. Roger allowed me to sort through a selection until I found what I needed.

Roger is pleasant enough but sadly incapable of completing work. His store is an organizational hazard - items strewn everywhere. He had my shoes for three weeks. I phoned after 1.5 weeks, as he suggested, and after looking around a good while, with me on the phone giving a description, he found them. He said he “hadn’t got to them yet”, but would work on them in the next day or two. I phoned 3 more times over the next 1.5 weeks and each time he said he was “working on them now”. After three weeks I understood the situation and went to collect them. They were untouched. I think he loves to potter around in his shoe den but you’re not likely to get your shoes fixed!
