    Great work, the best in SF! The service is great and his prices are fair, I've used him 7 or 8 times with great results.

    Have had two pairs of shoes re-soled here and will continue to use Zavo. The work is top notch and he uses high quality materials.

    Zavo is my trusted go to shoe guy. He does amazing work, and treats my shoes very well! I highly recommend him for quality repairs.

    Zavo said not to worry, that I could just stick the money in the mail slot if I came when he wasn't there.

    I messaged this shop on Yelp first and got a prompt response, which made me decide to stop by…read more I came in around 3:00 PM on a Thursday for shoe resoling. After being quoted $90-$120 elsewhere, I was pleasantly surprised to learn his pricing is $35-$50 per pair, depending on whether the bottom heel also needs to be soled. I ended up bringing in three pairs of shoes (two with top heels done, one with both top and bottom heel soled). He told me to come back in 1.5-2 hours, and when I returned around 4:30 PM, all three pairs were ready. The work looked clean, professional, and well finished--I was really impressed. I also had him replace a watch battery. When I got home later that day and realized it still wasn't working, I messaged him right away. He responded the next day, asked me to come back in, and fixed it within minutes--he even offered a refund if it couldn't be resolved. Fair pricing, fast turnaround, quality work, and honest service. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

    I recently came back from a European vacation and needed repair on my very nice Coach bag. Midway…read morethrough my trip, the anchor stitching that secured the leather bound ends of my bag where my strap would be used and connected to starting to come unraveled. Since this is a hefty luxury bag, going to my clothing alteration shop wouldn't work as I was recommended to go to a cobbler as they would have the machines necessary to fix a bag. Fortunately, for me when I got back home, I found MAK & CO which came highly recommended and was near to where I lived. I contacted MAK via the online quote portal on yelp. He immediately responded with his number and said to text him directly with some of the images of the bag damage. I contacted him and sent him the photos of the damage and he quoted me $20 per end and said he could take care of it pretty fast. I took the bag in on New Year's Eve and MAK took a quick look at it and said he could get it done in two hours. I was completely surprised and I reminded him he didn't have to get it to me that fast. He said it wouldn't be a problem. Not only was he able to turn around the bag within a few hours he said the total repair would be only $20 for both ends and not $20 per end. This was half the amount which I was expecting to pay. Totally happy with what he said I left and came back maybe about five hours later near to when he was about to close. He gathered the bag and showed me his repair which he did very securely and tight. I have no doubt that this repair will last hopefully forever. The total amount was only $20 as he said, and I walked away very happy and appreciative. MAK & CO was very professional, quick with the turnaround and very affordable. I for one will definitely be back as I have many shoes that I have been waiting to get repaired. He definitely is an artisan.
