Tony’s Shoe Repair

Tony Muñoz
115 Oak Park Avenue

Tony Muñoz is an Oak Park treasure. In December, he will celebrate 45 years in Oak Park, and in that time, most everyone in the community has been in to have Tony fix shoes, jackets, purses and even baseball mitts and hockey masks. The proprietor of Tony’s Shoe Repair says he retired seven years ago, yet he still comes to work six days a week because he loves it—and Oak Park. Along with his daughter, son and now his granddaughter, working from their basement shop at 115 N. Oak Park Avenue, Tony and the company restore people’s treasures—and do it the old-fashioned way with a hand-written ticket, reliable craftsmanship and the utmost care.
