Broadway Shoes And Repair

Across Brooklyn, a handful of neighborhood spots still handle the essentials—like keeping a favorite pair of boots in good shape for another season. Broadway Shoes And Repair, tucked into the brick storefront at 190 Division Ave, is one of those places where worn soles and scuffed leather get a second life. Whether it’s a broken heel, a stretched strap, or the kind of damage that usually ends with a throwaway purchase, the shop turns it around without much fanfare.

Shoe repair isn’t glamorous, but it saves money and keeps usable footwear out of landfills—resoling, patching, tightening, dyeing, and even customizing are all part of the routine. The storefront sits just south of the Williamsburg border, convenient for locals in the thick of an East Williamsburg stretch where walkers outnumber drivers. Drop by with a pair that’s seen better days and walk out with something that feels almost new.

Save the number for future mishaps: (718) 599-7663. When heels betray you or a child’s school shoes split overnight, you’ll know where to go. The map shows the quickest walk from the JMZ or L train at Marcy. That’s the kind of errand you remember when the sidewalk’s cold and your boots beg for mercy.
