What We Do

Complete shoe care,
under one roof

From a simple heel replacement to a full restoration, every service is performed by hand with attention to the details that matter.

Heel Replacement

Worn-down heels are replaced with precision-matched pieces — rubber, leather, or stacked — to restore your shoe's balance and stride.

Resoling

Full sole replacement using quality leather or rubber soles. We match original construction methods for a seamless, durable result.

Leather Conditioning

Deep conditioning and conditioning treatments that revive dried leather, restore suppleness, and protect against future cracking.

Restoration

Complete shoe restoration — color matching, stitching, structural repairs, and refinishing. We bring worn favorites back to life.

Zipper & Strap Repair

Broken zippers, snapped straps, and hardware fixes for boots, heels, and everyday shoes — completed quickly and reliably.

Custom Stretching

Professional shoe stretching for a comfortable fit — targeted pressure points or full-length stretching, done without damaging the material.

Our Story

A craft rooted in the
community

Roman Shoes on the Island has been a staple of Staten Island's footwear care since opening our doors on Main Street. What started as a small repair bench grew into the go-to destination for anyone who values well-made shoes and the hands that maintain them.

We don't cut corners. Every pair that comes through our shop is assessed individually, repaired with appropriate materials, and returned with a guarantee that the work holds up. That's the standard we've kept for over four decades — and the reason our neighbors keep bringing us their favorites.
