In a world of disposable fashion, they represent the value of quality craftsmanship and the satisfaction of truly well-maintained shoes.

Rostelle Shoe Service

The service here is stellar. My family had a jewelry store in Ozone Park for over 100 years. There are so few "mom & pop" stores left nowadays that when I walk into Rostelle's, I am immediately transported back to the store in Ozone Park.

In this throw-away society, it’s great to have the option of saving a pair of shoes that just needs a new pair of soles or heels in order to keep going.

In this throw-away society, it’s great to have the option of saving a pair of shoes that just needs a new pair of soles or heels in order to keep going. Lorenzo Powell started working in the shop at 300 West 55th (on Ninth Avenue) as an employee many years ago, and he was able to purchase it himself around 15 years ago. He had started in the shoe repair business working for his father, who owned a shop himself in Harlem that he ran from the World War II era until 1986. His wife, Judith, regularly sets up a new and eye-catching seasonal display in the shop window. If ever there was a neighborhood contest for Best Window Dressing, she would surely take the top prize.
