I was flying out to a wedding in Boston the next day. I'd planned to wear a very special dress but when I tried on the shoes that went with it, one of the heel stoppers cracked off! I rushed over to Bernardo's and begged him to save me. He told me to come back in a couple hours. They were perfect! Since then I've had him redo heels on two pairs of boots. His work is flawless.

I read about the reviews on Yelp so I thought I would take my shoes in for repair. I picked them up on the day they were ready, and I am pleased with the work that was done, and the price. I will be going back if I need more shoes repaired. I recommend this business.

Nobody was there when I arrived at 3:45 PM and there was trash, clothes and shoes all over the floor. Maybe they closed down.

Definitely the place to get shoes fixed. Has done miracles with boots I thought were headed for trash and made them wearable again.

Rating is based three aspects: Repair was for a Leather…read moreOlakai Flip Flip toe post repair. My hope was to get another year out of the sandal because the sole o the flips flops are still good. 1. Customer Service 2. Quality Of Work 3. Price Point 1. Customer Service - Poor. I question to if the repair of my sandal can be done it was met with riddle like responses and story about being a bootmaker not teacher and the history of His family and studies in Oxford, England. While I can appreciate a trade and family lineage of craftsmanship, which was one reason to take my sandal their as well as to support local businesses. I found his stories, about history, and telling an attorney that his handmade shoes would be done when he feels inspired to make them. His story about working in his youth, so now he can have the luxury to sleep in was unnecessary...and he came across as condensing. His repsonses and stories had little to do with the repair I came in for. 2. Poor Quality of repair. First used red thread, which may blend in stood out to me, and it does not match the sandal with brown leather, After 1 day of wear, the thread has come undone, and the post is inwrapping. I would have been better off purchasing a new pair, or going to anther shoe repair shop that may have giving me a truthful and professional opinion. I feel I wasted $75, and he did not care about the repair. I had hoped he would have taken more care in honoring his trade, which most craftsman do, but in this case he did not. This repair may have been insignificant and lacked importance to the bootmaker, but it was important to me and I was trusting his expertise. I feel if he did not want to do the repair, then refer the job elsewhere. 3. Price Point: for this particular repair, the price point was OVERPRICED, especially since the sandle was not being opened up, and the thread broke after 4 hours of use. While I cannot speak for his expertise in boot repair, I can speak to this repair. I suggest for those seeking repair and/or shoes made, to look for other cobblers that respect their trade more, and customers no matter how big or small the repair is. For me Quality, Care, and Quality Customer Service are things I considered. I gave the bootmaker an opportunity. I will not be going back.

I left a belt for a buckle replacement. Terrible job at $50 pre-paid. The belt is brown. The strap…read morehe used for the new buckle is light tan, the buckle is chrome and the rivets to hold it in place are brass. you can tell it was a quick fix (2 weeks). He should of at least but some shoe polish o the strap to get even close to the color of the belt and matched the rivets and the buckle. I should of followed the other ratings and gone somewhere else. I was so disgusted I took it and left. I'll take it to someone else to correct it.
