They're also super accommodating with rush turnaround so I can get my shoes before I have to go back to Chicago - so thank you!!! Definitely come here if you're looking for the best, highest quality shoe work that lasts for years and protects your shoes. read more

Cobbler Express was incredibly responsive and delivered one of the fastest, highest-quality turnarounds I've ever experienced. Eduard was kind, helpful, and did exceptional work. I highly recommend this company and will absolutely be sharing their information with friends! read more

Honestly is what went well. He looked at my rain boots and asked me how much will cost to purchase a new one. He basically told me it is not worth of repaid cost. He was honest and I really appreciate that. Most would have just taken the money regardless. Full respect hence I will dropping off any shoe repair I need to them. Furthermore, I found out later one of my friend already use their service and she said it is superb. read more

I took my Jeffrey Campbell boots here to get the calves stretched. He was able to stretch them overnight and had me try them on to ensure they fit correctly before leaving the store. I was quoted over $300 from another cobbler which was crazy! He stretched the calves for $75 per shoe. This felt a bit pricey to me, but again was MUCH better than other places. I guess I just didn't realize the cost to stretch boots! The customer service was great! He was friendly and made a social media post about my boots which I thought was so endearing! Felt like he's known me for years! I would take my shoes back there again! read more

BEST IN MANHATTAN I came to get my shoes weather protected. Despite being a willing customer, Romi is an honest man who refused take my money and said the shoes came weather protected.

Amazing experience with cobbler express! A family-owned business since 1960, father Rubin and son Eduardo were incredibly responsive and great at their work. When I went to drop off my Louboutins for red rubber soles, he asked when I needed them, and I said the sooner the better. I thought that would mean about a week, and Rubin said, "how about now?" And he proceeded to do my shoes within 30 min. Talk about service!!! They just moved here from Wall Street 3 months ago and are located in the lobby of a major office building on 42nd st. I HIGHLY recommend this business for all of your shoe repair/shining needs. Also, while I was in, a customer came in for a consult to see if her shoes could be salvaged, and Eduardo said what he could do but that it wouldn't be worth it since the shoes weren't real leather and therefore he couldn't fix the peel. I respected how he didn't agree to fix her shoes just to get the $$ but he actually cared about her. $75 for red rubber soles with no logo and $65 for the ones with a logo. Amazing quality and prices. I will be bringing all my shoes here from now on!! read more

I took my Guidi boots to get the rubber protective soles installed. I couldn't be happier! I walked in and was welcomed by the owner who has 60 years experience- he was very welcoming and knowledgable. He was also talking me through the process and just made me trust him even more. It took 30 minutes for same day and the finish product was more than perfect! This will be my new cobbler! Do not hesitate to take your shoes here, you will be very happy! Thank you again! read more

Amazing quality. I had an expensive pair of high heels that i just couldn't wear anymore. He gave me a whole new heal....i can now wear my shoes again read more

Perfect experience! They moved from their Fidi location to 60 E 42nd which is super convenient to my office. They took my white Common Projects that I loved a bit too much, and made them look brand new. They were great communicators as well and sent me texts letting me know they were ready 4 days before deadline! Had great conversation while there too. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. read more

Great service replacing a torn boot zipper. It was a tricky repair as it required a curving stitch, but they completed the work promptly, there is little sign that the zipper is not the original and it appears far stronger than the original. I will return for all future repairs. Thanks! read more

I used this company to have my Christian Louboutin tall boots adjusted. The results are super impressive. They did what others couldn't do. Still in disbelief at the amazing work they did to get me in these Boots. They have the best energy and truly want to help. I've found my place for all my repairs. read more

Exceptionally talented craftsmanship with a fast turn around. They have brought my favorite shoes I thought were a lost cause back to life. Cannot recommend enough--and in an easy location near Grand Central. I will continue to bring them my repairs. read more

I have been very busy that I don't have time to write review nowadays, but Eduard did such a great job that it would be a crime if I don't write this review. My wife asked me to bring her boots over after seeing so many positive reviews and great craftsmanship The boots are really old (20 years old) and the bottom soles are hardened due to age, making it unwearable and slippy. Eduard took the boots and did such a great job in replacing the soles. Not only he made it seamless, the new soles look original (remember they are 20 years old boots). My wife was amazed how nice they came out and you can see it in the photos. She just tried on them, and she kept complimenting how comfortable the cushion of the soles are. She is really happy with the work Eduard did. It only took Eduard two days to finish the job, and he also replaced the heel tips even though we did not tell him to. Thanks again for the great work. (p.s. I'd have given a 10-star if I could) read more

Excellent quality and super fast! Added non-slip soles to my suede boots while I waited (took about 15 mins). BEAUTIFUL work! You just need to find them. They're hiding deep in the lobby of the building, but worth the hunt! I will be back and am telling friends. read more

I've been here a few times already and will be back to get my other shoes done to add a protective sole. Got a protective sole for my Louboutins and Stuart Weitzman boots. Also got the heel fixed on my boot. I was walking on the sidewalk and the heel got stuck in the grate and was pulled off. Got them fixed here and it looks brand new! The soles look great and not tacky. See you guys soon! read more

Brought my tabi's here to get protective soles put on. 10/10 experience, very kind owners + top notch service. I picked mine up same day! Couldn't recommend enough read more

Very happy customer here. Submitted an inquiry via this platform and received an answer from Eduard, the owner, within hours. Can't say enough great things about this place, it's a real gem! Easily accesible by most public transportations, (don't let the new location confuse you ;) communication is outstanding, service is superb ( they specialize in all types of leathers, particularly shoes BUT also other categories as well, including bags. I honestly think you can hand these guys a cow and they'd repair it haha. All jokes, aside, what lead me here during my lunchtime was a stained YSL bag. All it took was five minutes and Eduard had it like new in no time ! To say I'm impressed is an understatement. Thank you SO much sir, I will always return for my repair needs and will be sure to send all of my family and friends your way! read more

The hype is real. Probably the best shoe repair in Manhattan. They stretched my boots on an industrial machine overnight. The result was so much better than anything I could do at home. Thank you! read more

Much better than leather spa!!!! I went to leather spa and I got robbed. I came to cobbler express they did a much better job and it was a fraction of the price. Great people. read more

If I could less stars I would. First of all beware of this business. Eduardo will try to extort you out of additional money. I paid $330 for two pairs of boots to be fixed and a zipper on a bag. Not only did he not even bother to clean the boots but a one of a kind leather bag from Italy was ruined. If you believe his response to this review, than you deserve the service you get. Everything was discussed upfront. He did not give me a discount as I negotiated the price down from $380 to $330 and he still damaged the bag and did not give a refund on that. Now I have to get the zipper redone. As for "threatening him a review" I never did such thing or asked for anything for free. All I said is that it is normally included in the cost, especially for something over $330 and it would be reflected in the review and than asked to pick up my items. Eduardo is a crook and a liar. What is OUT OF TOUCH is asking to have the shoes completely repaired and cleaned. He can say whatever he wants in his response to his review but it is a lie. He also originally asked $175 for a zipper and he still didn't even do the bag right. If you want to get taken advantage of than go here. If he got his way he would have charged almost $500 just to include the suede cleaning in the original cost. If his business is doing so poorly, maybe you should try to get a loan and not rip customers off after they already gave you their items and repeatedly text them until they pay you. He will only let you pay via venmo, upfront. Venmo isn't for businesses and you can't dispute the charge. You can only report it to your local law enforcement so they can investigate. I wasn't aware of this so I would advise people to fully research where they go before and do not fall for this trap because you will have your money stolen. Also this isn't a false review. Talk about taking advantage of people, he quoted over $380 to start and I had to point out that was high. I have been furloughed for six months and paid a high price for work that you can see was not even done correctly. He is taking advantage of clients to line his pockets and doing so over venmo so you cannot get refunded. Which is fine because the proper parties have been notified of this illegal activity. read more

I emailed on a weekend when they were closed as my sneakers had become so dirty! I was leaving town Tuesday.

So nice to receive such prompt, friendly and quality service! read more

A shoeshine in Manhattan! Great quality, nice conversation, pleasant environment, worth every penny!

I had several luxury boots and sandals in need of sole repair. I was extremely particular about what I needed done. They took the time to understand exactly what I needed and offered me advice about reasonable options for suede cleaning. They are not price gougers-- rather masters at their craft. They had the shoes ready in just 48 hours. The location is convenient to Grand Central and the customer service is incredible. They are my go to for all shoe repair. read more

My favorite cobbler for the last 10 years closed their doors, so I tried this spot for the first time. You might love it here, but I am giving 2 stars for two main reasons. First, I just didn't think they took my request seriously. My shoes only had small scuffs, but they are my wedding shoes (yes, for my literal wedding!). I told them that, but they still made comments like "are your guests going to be lying on the floor? No one can see!" To their credit, they did touch up the shoes for $30 while I waited. It took about 5 minutes. I guess I didn't feel confident that they were taking it seriously or doing the best possible job. Maybe they did. But I didn't have confidence. Second, the conversation immediately turned political and he just wouldn't stop. This isn't about what the man's perspective was, it's that he talked to me so much about it and nothing I did to try to change or stop the conversation worked. I just needed to get my shoes handled and get back to work (I was late to my meeting, obviously). He immediately insulted the person with me who was wearing a mask by saying "Why are you still scared?" He then complained that they were going to fire you if you didn't get a vaccine before complaining that soon they are going to make companies fire you if you don't come back to the office after a period of work from home. Somehow, some way this turned into the Russia/Ukraine conflict where he made it clear that he is a Russian sympathizer and said he listens to the Russian news because our news is such propaganda. From there it was just a hop, skip, and a jump away from his POV on Israel and Palestine. So... as you can see... the guy was going OFF on topics that I simply had no interest in discussing with him. But, he had my wedding shoes... so I stayed and listened and tried not to egg him on. Sheesh. read more

I have been to few shoe repair shops in past year, had best experience at Cobbler Express my shoes needed new soles and heels not only did they exit my expectations, they made sure to show me deferent type of soles before fixing my shoes to give me top quality work, thank I Cobbler Express read more

My office had a Thanksgiving party and a colleague spilled a significant amount of turkey grease on my dress shoes. I thought they were headed for the trash, but I stopped by Cobbler Express, since they're located in my office building. They did an initial cleaning to remove the grease while I was still wearing them, which helped somewhat. They suggested I bring them back the following day for a deeper clean, which I did. Amazing job! They were somehow able to get all of the grease out. They also put on a new heel (it was almost down to the wood), shined the shoes, and fixed a small rip in the leather. They look brand new. Cobbler Express far exceeded my expectations and will be my go-to for all shoe-related issues. read more
