VIVAIA

VIVAIA welcomes walk-ins who need shoes adjusted or repaired while you wait. Open six days a week, the store specializes in onsite repairs to keep footwear wearable instead of waiting days. Between color matches, sole swaps, and stretch-and-repair jobs, the staff handles the most common fixes without an appointment.

The shop sits at 68 Prince St New York, NY 10012, steps from Broadway’s foot traffic and a block from the subway on Prince. While browsing takes minutes, belt sanding, zipper replacements, and strap tightenings can all be done on the spot. Local workers duck in on lunch breaks; visitors find it tucked between a gallery and a flower stall.

Before heading over, call (646) 661-0787 to confirm a repair isn’t already booked solid. The quickest way there is the maps listing provided: find directions here.
