Fantastic job. Not cheap but then their workmanship is really evident. I took in two pairs of…read moreBlundstone's (a winter pair and a regular pair) that had uppers in good shape but on which the heels and soles were very worn and which I had basically retired. Plus I took in a pair of R.M. Willams Craftsman Boots for a more traditional heel and sole repair. Nick's resoled the Blundstone's with Vibram soles, including a chunky, seriously treaded winter set and the boots are now probably better than when I bought them. The R. M. Williams ones also look great. They can't perform absolute miracles, of course, so if you have small cuts in the leather they are permanent (though usually disguisable with a bit of polish or wax) but a bit of use is to be expected in a boot. P.S., I have no idea why my profile says San Francisco, as I live in Toronto and have never even been to that part of California.

My friend and I dropped off our shoes for store owner Vahid on a Wednesday. He had a customer at…read morethe time but was quick to assist us as soon as he was done. Our shoes include a range of men/women shoes: Gucci loafers, Ferragamo loafers, Hermès sandals, Louboutin loafers, YSL Chelsea boots, Alexander Wang ankle boots and some other pairs of shoes. Most shoes are damaged at the bottom where the wood panel, leather bottoms or heels are wore out. One pair is more severe as the leather is detached from the sole. Vahid has done a fantastic job to give new life to the pair by patching some leather and reattaching the leather to the soles without much trace at all. Vahid is professional as he not only quickly identified the problems with each pair, he is also helpful in advising us how the shoes can be repaired and offering options for us to choose. Some shoes require new fully protected bottoms whereas some can last with just protected heels. Vahid chooses the best color to match the original shoes' bottom so that the layer is unnoticeable from the side. Overall we are very happy with Vahid's professional work!

My old suede boots were very worn out and part of the sole of the boot came off. I looked up the…read morereviews of this place and took my boots there. They said the glue of the sole to the boot was really old and has expired and needs to be re-glued. I told them that they were given to me by my late mom and I am from out of town and I had to get them fixed. Normally it would take them a few days, but they were so kind that they expedited the repair and I was able to pick them up within a few hours. I am so impressed with Professional Shoe Repair. They are quick, and did an impeccable repair job. I highly recommend!

They badly needed new soles and heels. I spoke with Simeon and he promised that he would bring them back to life for me, like new! The problem: I would have to leave them with him for a few days. Given that I didn't live in the area, but know the Centre well, I quickly decided to buy a cheap pair at Winners, and left my shoes to be repaired. Fast forward two days (I left them on Thursday afternoon, and Simieon called me on Saturday to confirm they were ready for pick up). I picked them up on Monday, and was amazed at the rejuvenation of the shoes .... they were really like a newly bought pair of shoes. They were the worth the cost of repair. The workmanship was done with pride. I know that they will last me another 5 years or so! Simieon definitely proved his worth.

This is the best shoe repair shop in Toronto! I was a…read morecustomer of Sole Survivor on Kensington before, but I came across this shop when I was looking to repair my Ugg boots. Since then, this place became my go-to shoe repair shop. When I was looking to replace zippers for my boots, Shoe Therapy on Bay and Bloor gave me quote for $60 on EACH side (not the whole pair), Sole Survivor $50 each (better but not by that much), and another random place in North York I can't remember the name of said $45 each. I found this place by luck and the owner man said that he can do it for $35 each!! It was much cheaper than any other places so I took the offer. I know some will think it's not worth it, but I had that boots for three years, all after going through massive snow storms etc. It was def worth fixing. The owner did a fantastic job!! The zippers were as good as they were when I first got them :) I was at the shop today to drop some leather boots off to have the calves taken in, paid $40 for the pair. The lady in front of me had a pair that needs to be stretched and she was charged $30 for the pair. This place is far lot cheaper than any other shoe repairs I've been to and the owner man is really friendly and nice :) Highly recommended !!

They're super comfy and look nice not like comfort looking boots. When I picked them up I didn't recognize them because it looks like smooth cheap shiny fake leather versus matte distressed Nubuck. I was so shocked I kept asking why they're so dark and he kept saying they're original colour and that they were shined. I left confused and googled and you're NOT suppose to shine Nubuck or it's ruined! Attached is pic of my RUINED Nubuck boots and behind, is a man made leather brown boots to compare how much they look the same NOW!!!! Sadly I don't have a pic of the Nubuck boots in original for When I dropped them off for repair, I asked him the cost to fix a purse zipper and I said I'd think about it due to the cost. When I paid for my boots (you have to pay first during drop off) he saw my cash and said something about me having enough to pay for the purse repair and I said I'm cheap and need to think if I want to fix it. As if I have to give a reason and even so, how does he know I don't need to buy groceries, etc.???? My only previous issue which I thought was a fluke was that he glued other boots and it came off. I started going to him the last two years again but don't fix many things as I usually wear sneakers. I will no longer come back. UPDATE: Shortly after my review I called the shoe guy to tell him I was very upset he ruined my nubuck boots and instead of trying to rectify the matter, he said he was upset and told me to remove my review! I told him others wrote bad reviews about him and he said they're not customers! So shoe man, if you're reading this please learn that NUBUCK does not get polished or it's ruined forever!

He will never try to sell you on anything that you don't need and is totally honest with you. I got some work done on a couple shoes including a heel lower, installing vibram soles and french plates at the tip of the shoe. He was very fair with the pricing and gave me a discount for doing multiple shoes at once. He walked me through everything that he was going to do with the shoe and explained the whole process (which is very helpful since I know nothing about it and why it costs the prices he charges). When I went to pick up the shoes he already knew what I was there for and showed me the work, which was amazing. I couldn't be happier with the modifications to the shoes and they will definitely help preserve the longevity of the soles. I'll definitely be coming back to get other work done on them in the future.
