Best Place To Do The Shuffle

Sammie's Shoe Repair

When we asked John Salazar, Sr., how long he had been cobbling Austin shoes, he grinned and muttered, "Too long," and shuffled to the back room of the small Delwood shop to fetch his son. The affable John Salazar, Jr., with a grin as wide as his senior's proudly pointed out an old flyer for dad's original store at 2203 East Avenue, which old-timers will recall as what is now known as Manor Road. The Salazars have been at it for 30 years this year. Their speedy, friendly service is remarkably priced within means. They will find the best, most affordable way to keep your favorite loafers alive.
