    Extremely proud that Arthur repaired seamlessly my boot's soles when they worn out of 9 years of usage.
    Joseph D.

    My mother and I love coming here to get our shoes repaired. From her high heels to flats and moccasins, and for myself, sole repair for my boots and dying my oxford dress shoes to a darker brown, I am extremely happy to have them like new again. Arthur thank you for repairing our shoes and giving them new life. As a craftsman to another craftsman, you have incredible craftsmanship and quality. Will come back soon for any repairs or dyes needed.

    Super pleased with the great work I've received from Compton's Shoe Repair (and not JUST on my shoes)! Located right next to Downtown Burbank (with a parking lot conveniently in front of the store), Arthur and the other craftspeople at Compton's Shoe Repair do top-class work at a great value. As you can see in the photos, I've asked Arthur to help apply rubber soles to a pair of leather dress loafers. The soles look like they were part of the shoe - excellently applied! Additionally, I've asked Arthur to help me shorten two leather belts. He shortened them from the buckle side, preserving the original design. You can't tell that the belts have been altered unless you really scrutinize the reverse of the buckle. Also, as someone who is new to owning nicer/luxury items, I'm appreciative of Arthur for giving me advice on how much to shorten the belts. Finally, Arthur's helped me repair two leather bags. On the black bag (as seen in the photo), he removed the fraying handles and replaced them with two new black leather handles, which look great, as if they were part of the original design. On the white bag, he applied a new coat of white paint on the handle area which was yellowed from color transfer; I wish I had a photo of the "before" bag to show the difference. The new coat of paint perfectly matches the old. If you have a pair of shoes or a handbag that need some love and upkeep, a belt that's a little too long, keys that you need duplicated, or anything other kind of job like this, definitely consider Compton's Shoe Repair!

    So super bummed. About $2k in shoes that have never been worn. Wife wanted to get the red protective bottom to avoid slips and repainting. Took these in, quick service but not impressed with the lack of care around the edging and noticeable blemishes. Clearly removed the brown patent on the toe straps, and the bottom of the black has a chip and visible traces of a rushed job. Would you be happy spending $56 on your shoes for this result?

    I grew up in Burbank and was luck to have this amazing shoe repair close to home. As an adult I moved away, but still send all my repairs and watches for battery replacement with my mom who is still in the area. Recently I splurged on my dream Love brand lunch bag that is big enough to carry breakfast and lunch. After two months one of the pieces of nylon that attaches to the strap started to fray and quickly give way. I had my mom take it to Compton's to see what could be done to fix my bag. I was shocked when she returned it to me. The craftsmanship was impeccable. Instead of an easy fix that would involve sewing through the lining. He completely took the side of the bag (lining, zipper, shell) apart, made the repair, and sewed it back together BETTER than new! This business is a gem! I am glad that they have been able to sustain through the years and I hope for many, many more.

    They fixed my shoes well and for a reasonable price. They were ready very quickly, days before I even had a chance to pick them up.

    The new owner here does his job very well. I highly recommend this place. It only took him a few days to complete 2pairs of leather shoes.

Luckily, I came across this place and decided to give it a try and the best decision. Sako was amazing. Super friendly, honest, and took the time to explain what needed to be done. He made the whole process easy and stress-free. Within 24 hours, he texted me that the shoes were ready for pickup, which was impressive. Not only did he double-stitch the areas that were falling apart and make them solid again, but he also cleaned the shoes, which was a really nice touch. They looked great when I picked them up. Fast turnaround, quality work, and great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back here for any future shoe repairs and highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

I brought a pair of boots to narrow the shaft and was told it was do able and of course right after mentions his quote of " i am a repair shop not a manufacturer" and charges immediately upfront..

Even if you try to explain your dissatisfaction he will NOT listen and verbally attack with bad words in front of his daughter and wife and not take grant it for his messy job. Shame on you! Please do yourself a favor and don't get fooled by the 4.8 reviews on Yelp. This man has zero manners. Below are the pics of how crooked my shaft is and had to ask him to clean his messy glue stains off my shoe. So if you want your shoes ruined it's the perfect spot!

The sole on both was cracked and the metal base was fully coming out of both shoes (I don't have good before pictures). I had taken them to several different spots and been told they were too damaged to be fixed. However, Vahe took one look at them and said he would try. I just got them back today and they are better than I ever expected (and I expected good things). My girlfriend loves them and feels so pretty in them, perfect timing for summer. I also appreciate Vahe's patience with me as I came in several times to check on their progress. Although it took him a few weeks it was well worth the wait and I love how he took his time to ensure that they were perfect. I will definitely be back when I have other shoes that inevitably fall apart. Thank you Vahe!

No big deal and when I went to pick up the shoes, I asked the guy to keep them another day and clean them up and polish them. That's it.

This guy went out of his way to make them look completely different. Anyway, I would be very careful with this guy.
