Barrington Shoe Service
847-381-1170
If you have a broken shoe or a pair in need of repair, Leon Gokhberg at the Barrington Shoe Service can help. Back in 1980, Gokhberg arrived in the US from Europe. Shortly thereafter, a friend asked him to repair some broken shoes, and Gokhberg glady obliged. Ever since, he's been at the Barrington Shoe Service. In addition to shoes, Gokhberg can repair luggage, purses and belts. He also does shoe dying and can repair wedding shoes.
