Salvatore's Shoe Repair is a tiny shop on Highland Avenue in Manhattan Beach, a block from the ocean. Despite the name, handbag repair is as much a part of the shop's business as shoes. Occasional sales are possible, but repairing is the shop's bread and butter. Same day service is available for many of the shop's repair options, which include resoling, hole patching and much more. In business since 1983, owner Harry Ashikian says that 80% of his business comes from referrals from satisfied customers.
