East Village Shoe Repair is a New York-based shoe repair shop opened by cobblers Boris Zuborev and Eugene Finkelberg in 1994 at 1 St. Marks Place before moving to Bushwick, Brooklyn in 2014. The cobblers have gone from creating custom platforms for ’90s club kids to outfitting major celebrities — Madonna, Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been clients — as well as supplying shoes for fashion editorials in the pages of GQ, Vogue and Nylon.
