I have always been one who thought that boots must have FULL soles in order to stay on the boot, (I've had shoe repair shops tell me this too). But, since I discovered Salzman's I have completely changed my mind! Not only do the HALF soles stay on, but you can't even tell they ARE half soles! Not to mention that my boots look nearly brand new after being cleaned and shined. Happy with their service? Couldn't be more so...and thats after many, many boot repairs over the years. I have discovered real honesty at Salzman's and I can truely say that they have saved me a great deal of money over the years. If this review sounds a little too glowing I'm sorry, but, I like old school service and this is it.
