Hem over Heels is the culmination of owners Josh and Fatima Maynard’s experience in the industry.
Like an old-time apprentice under a master tailor, Josh Maynard has worked in the industry for more than a decade in Boca Raton, finally deciding it was time to open his own shop at 10833 S. Jog Road, suite 188.
“Basically, we do high-end shoe repair, alterations, tailoring, embroidery, names on a towel and even sharpening of knives and scissors,” he said.
Hem over Heels also repairs luggage and refinishes leather for handbags.
Fatima Maynard said that she is surprised how many customers have come out to the store since it opened in March.
“With the economy, we still have a great deal of customers,” she said. “We do high-quality work and fix items that would be more expensive to just buy another one.”
He said the prices range from $10 to $15 for ladies’ heels and $15 to $18 for men’s’ heels. Hems start at $12 and $15.
Hem over Heels is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
