We have them in Philadelphia, too. It can get hard to justify
when it costs more to repair/resole a shoe than to buy a new
pair, but my wife is an opera performer, so sometimes it's
important enough to repair a pair that looks good.
There are shoe repair services
(more than one) in Orange County, ca, but my latest service that went missing was knife
sharpening.
At least in Philly, both services (plus scissor sharpening and
key duplication) are available from most of the Korean-owned
dry cleaning shops. It's odd, but they do a pretty good job.
