Vacuums & shoes go together like peas & carrots, tea & crumpets, Bogie & Bacall, tip & top. I've never gotten a vacuum repaired here, but judging from the number Mr. Tip-Top does on my shoes, there's magic in them thar fingers that will make your vac purr like a kitty. He has resurrected my beloved boots two times in 8 years, recapped countless hoochie heels hopelessly ground into imitation cigarette-butts, and once stretched these faux Campers I bought in defiance of my size 9+ feet made annoyingly "+" by my stupid greedy big toes. I even bring him brand new shoes for preemptive protection.
