I have a pair of nice (somewhat expensive) Italian-made chelsea boots and I went to see Angel because the leather soles had started to wear through and the heels were rapidly wearing away. Angel was just great. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and very clear about what different options I had to repair the boots. He replaced the heels and the front part of the main soles with rubber-- and while I was a bit skeptical that rubber would still look good on the boots, they ended up looking FANTASTIC! Angel obviously has a great attention to detail and really cares about the quality of his work. I am so happy with how my boots look now. I can't recommend Angel's Shoe Repair highly enough!! One tip-- call ahead about the hours for Angel's shop. They vary a bit and he is sometimes open as late as 7 p.m. read more

Angel's Shoe Repair - An excellent repair job (new heels and front part of main soles)! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

The owner damaged my shoes. I saved for months to buy these Guidis, but he damaged the finish while resoling them. These boots have a special pink metallic finish that I am unsure of how to fix. The owner tried to cover up his mistake with shiny brown paint, which is ineffective. He offered a partial refund but that does not fix the problem. Very disappointed in paying about $52 and getting this as the result. Would rather go to Dave Page in Fremont. read more

He put leather heels on a pair of boots I got in Spain about 30 years ago. Beautiful job! The bright red soft as a puppy's ear boots will always go to Angel's when they need anything done!! read more

He's simply the best and most honest, and his prices are good....I've been going to him for over 30 years, and have always been totally satisfied with how he's fixed shoes, sandals, boots and leather purses. read more

I have been a customer at Angel's for over 30 years. It is the only place I take my footwear. Whether it's for new heels, soles or composite half-soles on my new dress shoes and even reconditioning, Ray has always done a top-notch job. I live 6 1/2 miles away and it is worth the drive for the quality and consistency of his work! read more

Angel is honest about what is worth mending and does a great job. I like how straightforward he is and he answered all my questions. He's fixed a sole for a pair of high leather boots but refused to fix another pair because there wasn't enough leather so salvage and it couldn't be fixed. He also patched a pair of old cap toe boots that i love which will keep my feet dry for another season! His prices are great and I keep going back. A pair of leather boots can really last decades especially if you have someone who can fix them up for you! read more

Wow he was really rude. Yelp sent my quote request to a few cobblers and his response to me. It was pretty sad. read more

Angel's Shoe Repair - Rude comment - Shoe Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Angel is amazing! I took in my favorite Frye boots that were trashed on the bottom- hole at the ball of the foot, ripped/missing some at the heel. He was able to make them look new again. I would highly recommend him to anyone with shoe needs. He's great at what he does, reasonably priced, and honest. read more

I brought in 2 pair of shoes did a great job no complaints will come back with other shoe repairs.

I cannot say enough good things about Angel. A real find in our neighborhood. Always resourceful and can help with almost everything - from rebuilding the heals to punching extra holes in your belt. read more

Great service, great job, great value. Couldn't be happier! (Brought in my daughter's boots for heel repair.)

Raymond is the friendliest person you will meet. He does amazing work and can breathe new life into any dress shoes, boots, and other kinds too. Very reasonably priced. And he is honest...he will only sell you the work that needs to be done for the lowest price. read more

i have been going to Angel for years. He is the ONLY cobbler in Seattle that can handle high end shoe repairs. I brought in a pair of Paul Smith boots and he made sure he found a high quality leather for the soles and only charged me cost. Angel is incredibly skilled, friendly and trustworthy. wish i could give him 10 stars. read more

Nicest guy ever. Super fast turn around. Angel will definitely be my cobbler from now on.

Hands down the best cobbler in Seattle. For years I took my shoes to various cobblers trying to find someone who could do a job that would last. Then I found Angel's Shoe Repair and I've been going ever since. His work lasts and lasts. He is honest, hardworking, and very competent. Bonus - he now accepts credit cards! His new location is inside the Family Arcade building (formerly the Capitol Hill Vet location). read more

Angel never disappoints in the quality craftsmanship or advice on how to repair or protect shoes. Always recommend him to others and so happy that he was able to relocate to another shop to continue to provide his quality service! Highly recommend! read more

I have to leave a review about this shoe repair place. First of all it is under construction, but don't let deter you. I have a pair of boots that I love with a zipper that keeps getting stuck. The owner took a look at them and informed me that he doesn't do zippers; however, he had a trick for fixing the zipper at home... and it worked. His piece of advice save me $60-80 for a zipper replacement. It was a breath of fresh air to have such great customer service. I will definitely return if I have other shoe repairs. I am certain if I had left a pair of shoes for him to fix I would have given him 5 stars. read more

I took two pair of my daughter's treasured Value village best-find-ever Fry boots to Angel for resoling. She walks more than anyone I know and let the soles go far too long before getting them the attention they needed. they were almost beyond hope and required considerable structural repair above the sole to recreate enough healthy shoe to attach new soles to. She lives in Bellingham and has no "Angel equivalent" there so I brought them home and to Angel. I picked them up today and they look almost new and she is very excited to get them back in such excellent condition! He also polished them and removed scuffs in addition to the new soles, which we considered above and beyond the call of duty. Angel also stocks all the polish, laces, shoe goo and other maintenance items, too. My most recent visit was for restitching a Clark shoe that started coming apart, which he did while I waited. Plus he's always a pleasure to talk with. read more

Plain amazing! Both craftsman ship, customer service, and price. First showed up after calling 5 minutes before with a broken zipper on a Tuesday when my bridal shower was Saturday. Every tailor said no way especially with the type of zipper (invisible) being broken. Not only did he immediately take and fix within a day but charged pennies. Then recently I had 7 pairs of custom flower girl shoes arrive that did not fit one girl. In a panic now 10 days away from wedding I ran down to ray. Not only did he take the work but literally did it in 15 minutes in front of me on the spot. 7 pairs of shoes!!! Again I showed up last minute with a reception drown that Toms Tailors gave me estimate of $200 to remove 6" of tulle. Again he out did himself. Highly recommend not only his work, but his customer service. He has been in non stop communication and has bent over backwards to accommodate my *sometimes* bridezilla-ish requests. Because of my experience I will NEVER use another tailor mark my work. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Best shoe repair in town. Quality workmanship and amazing pricing. Raymond was so nice and very honest. told me what pair of shoes shouldn't be fixed, not worth repairing. Going to recommend him to my friends. read more

I almost missed this place, because I didn't realize his shop is right next to Uncle Ike's, essentially under the same roof, don't pass by to quickly! I had 2 pairs of my favorite booties re-heeled. One of these pairs had required a similar repair about a year ago--it is SO obvious how much better of a job was done by Angel this time than I had done previously. The wooden portion of the heels, below the rubber heel, was so worn down that I didn't even think they would be repairable. I was also afraid, this being Seattle, that the shoe repair would be disgustingly costly, but to get both pairs fixed-up cost me only about $35. Since I brought them in a couple days before Thanksgiving, he did let me know that he was going to be closed for a few days to see family, but I didn't mind waiting. I cannot get over how impressed I am that not only did he fix them at all, but that they look so good! Thank you so much!! read more

Beyond kind, assessed my shoes quickly, was honest about whether they were worth investing in a repair and when he did the repair IT WAS GREAT! Definitely go ! read more

I have taken my shoes and other leather goods to Angel for repair for over 20 years - he's always so kind and fair and does amazing work. Angel relocated his business a few feet from the old shop....phew!! read more

Maybe I caught Angel on day when he wasn't feeling so angelic, but I had a frustrating interaction with him. I went in intending to have him put some waterproof soles on some leather-soled flats I bought (this was on the advice of the shoe store), and first he basically told me I shouldn't wear the shoes in Seattle (which seems a bit impractical, since I live here), and then told me it was going to cost $40, which seemed steep. When I asked him why it was so expensive and politely questioned if it was the material which cost so much (which he had already told me he simply cuts to size and glues on, so it didn't seem as if it was going to take a lot of time-consuming labor), he got VERY snitty and basically told me to take my business elsewhere. Which I will. From now on. read more

Mr Angel is the nicest guy, and such an important part of the 15th Ave community! I'm so happy that he has a new space and can continue his 100 year old family business. His work is spectacular, and he's happy to offer his professional opinion on what work needs to be done without overcharging for stuff you don't need. I also have him cut all of my keys, because they always work! read more
