Customers praise Perry’s skill and professionalism, noting his neat and experienced craftsmanship. He creates bespoke shoes that are cherished as special possessions, with clients valuing the personal attention he provides throughout the process.

He designs lasts with clients’ names on them and crafts unique, one-of-a-kind shoes around those lasts, offering a truly custom experience.

Customers advise clear communication upfront about pricing, scope, timelines, and expectations, and recommend patience during the long crafting process. Despite the costs and occasional frustrations, clients find the shoes to be stunning and durable, with one customer describing them as a “gorgeous lifetime pair” that remains a cherished possession over time. Beyond shoes, Perry’s expertise extends to repairs, such as fixing a favorite bag with barely noticeable stitching that looks good as new and ensures durability. Overall, Perry Ercolino offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, personal attention, and quality that stands out in the northeast corridor, making his business a trusted choice for bespoke footwear and leather repairs.
Excellent quality work and not just with soles. He removed “extra handles” from an expensive bag and did a great job. Neatly cut and sewn. He is experienced and professional and very neat in his workmanship.
