This is the second time I've come here and they've done a beautiful job once again! They so beautifully cared for the many belts I brought, either putting in a new belt hole in or cutting the belt to fit! It was well worth the money as it would've been more expensive to buy all new belts! I will always bring my repairs here. read more

I decided to give this shoe repair store a try and it did not disappoint! The sole of my Coach snow boots came apart, I needed help to glue it back. They did a wonderful job! I had dropped off the shoes last Saturday and it was ready for pickup by Wed, but I couldn't make it back to the store till Saturday again. When I walked in, they were able to find my shoes fairly quickly. It was $35 to repair my shoes, reasonable price. This place also repairs jackets, belts, and purses. If I ever need to get something else repaired, I wouldn't mind coming back to this place. Keep up the great work Dean's Shoe Repair!!! read more

I went in with my 'fiercest' black stiletto boots (lol) for a heel repair and re-sole. It all went well, but with one con: PROS - Strip mall location, easy to find, plenty of free parking - Store is neat & tidy, good selection of shoe/foot products and accessories like belts & purses for sale (for the quality a tad overpriced in my opinion) - Lady at the front desk was quiet, polite - My boots were done in 3 days, as promised, which was great - Price was $45 for both services I requested (Not sure if that's good or bad, I have no basis for comparison/never shopped around, but I feel it's fair) CONS - The only con was that there was quite a bit of glue all around where the re-soling was done and they were trying to give them to me that way. I immediately gave them back and asked them to clean it, but they instead put black polish over it. That was just sloppy... I'll likely go back to repair an accessory in the future... banking on the fact that this was a one-off. I'll update this review if/when I do! read more

They shortened my belt from the tip instead of the buckle end. As a result, the holes now run all the way to the end of the belt, which looks awkward and poorly finished. read more

Excellent service and workmanship. Have had one purse repaired here two years ago and more recently some non-slip soles put on my new sandals. The turnaround time was less than a week. read more

They left gaps in my shoes and didn't repair my boots properly. I'm worried water will get in. I paid fifty dollars, and when I asked them to make sure there were no holes, they said they could add more glue but it would seep everywhere. It was such a half-done job, would not recommend, there shouldn't be gaps. Trash work read more

I waited a while to post this. I'm a collector of vintage shoes. I brought one pair of sketcher sandals from the 90s to be repaired and a pair of doc marten sandals also from the 90s to be repaired. As you may know doc sandals are infamous for the inner sole of the shoe deteriorating and crumbling out. I brought them to be replaced. Let me be clear these did fit properly before taking them. Both pairs of shoes were returned to me with glue wisps all over the leather which was quite frustrating. However I have worn the sketchers sandals and they have held up so i'm satisfied with that minus the mess of glue that was on them. However the doc sandals. They are way too tight now as the base was not properly fitted. There was a TON of glue all over the leather that I have peeled off but some still remains. The shoe also looks extremely messed up on the inside. You can see that the base of the leather foot pad is glued much higher than it should be hence causing them to be too tight now. Super disappointed as these shoes are one of kind. I was so excited when he said he could fix them and this is not what I anticipated receiving in return. Also on the left shoe the leather base is not even fully attached to the sole inside and is lifting. I'm trying to see if I can salvage these since I love them by gently stretching the leather top portion for a better fit. Over all I am very disappointed. I'm hoping that if I take them else where they may be able to correct these mistakes but super disappointed since he seemed confident when he assured me he could fix them. read more

Dean's Chop Shop Buyer Beware Called and ask for a quote to have my boots resoled Was told forty five dollars... A Pair Which is not unheard of cause I get it done At home for fifty when I drop off two or more. Then when I arrived with three pairs of boots, I asked if he could put healed soles on my boots instead of the traditional wedge sole he then told me it would be sixty with the new sole and sewed on at the toe. No just Glued. Which I agreed to and dropped off the 3 pairs. What I picked up was horrendous. He just crudely Glued heels on my old boots, over my old sole. I mean, look at the pictures, give me a break. I could have done a better job in my garage with no experience. Them to top it off they're crooked. Couldn't even make it through a day of work. Should change the business name to dean's chop shop. read more

Wished I'd taken before pictures. My born boots that I loved and wore very often were becoming dilapidated. I was going to chuck them and buy a new pair for $150 bucks. Then I thought I would try to get them rehabbed, and all I can say is try this business! They seriously look brand new!!! Definitely highly recommend! So many wins... economically and environmentally responsible. Also like supporting local small businesses. Trust me when I say they were garbage can worthy before!! I'm very happy read more

Finally, I found a place the could repair my purse latch. Third place I tried. Wahoo!

I've been coming here for years. The owners are super nice and wonderful to deal with. I recently have been going through and discarding uncomfortable shoes and boots. They helped me combine two pairs of boots into one - one was great to look at but killed your feet. The other was comfortable and boring. Now thanks to Deans, I have the best of both. Great store! read more

I think that Dean & his wife worked on my boots they gave me new soles. I bought a used pair of brown cowboy boots from Labels Consignment Store for my motorcycle training class . S.F. Honda Motorcycle job involved training with my brown , leather boot's. Deans Shoe Repair simply worked well for me. Thanks so much for everything! Dean's Shoes has good will to look on people by their willingness by using tools that really do work for problems with old boots. The boots with big chunks of old leather that chipped off and dried up. I thought they would never be perfect. So Deans Shoes got rid of the grosser things and I was gratified with the results. Now I have new soles and heals for my brown boots and well worth it. $100- They shined the boots and polished beautiful, "DUNLOP"- new heels. He took off my old, leather soles. The best part of it was they were made in Mexico naturally worn by a man with small feet. Deans shoes provided excellent service and the purchase is acceptable for the new fit . Worth every penny! For English and riding courses on horseback and working on the farm. This place gives you exactly what you want not only do it twice as well as the big guys especially discussing it for a solid appraisal to pay for the very best quality from cleaning my old boots. I won't stumble when I am walking because of the nice, new, leather soles. Brand new leather soles to have a very comfortable fit. First new soles on some fancy boots! Thanks to both of you for helping me for years with my mama that loves you. Frankly I should also mention that Deans Shoes helped me a whole lot with the results of stitching together a big rip on my bike bag and the spirit of riding bicycles. read more

I am sooo happy with the recent heel replacement on a pair of boots I've had for over a decade. They were purchased in Beverly Hills while I was in college and although they actually weren't all that expensive, they are super comfortable, very unique and I absolutely loved them for year. Until... the heel fell off one of them! Sad as the sound was with every other step I took, I continued to wear them. Until... the other heel fell off, and the ultimately ended up in my closet, being passed over time and time again due to the sound of the hollow heels. Hollow, like the hole in my heart for having lost such a great pair of boots. Fortunately, I have lived across from Oak Grove Plaza for the last 11 years, and Dean's shoe repair is a small store mixed in with many other great businesses. I actually went in about a year ago to look for specialty leather cleaner for a custom car seat, and that's when the boots crossed my mind. So, a few weeks ago I dropped them off, received a ticket with a number and was told they'd call me in about a week. I didn't even ask for a price, since the shoes were irreplaceable anyhow. As promised, I received the call telling me they were ready just under a week later. I picked them up two weeks after that (life gets crazy busy sometimes, right?!) and there they were: completely repaired with brand new heels that feel, fit, and sound like brand new shoes! Best of all, it was $25.00. Yes, twenty-five-dollars. So I threw a couple of necklace/earring jewelry sets on the counter since they were priced half-off, and I was out of there in under $50, feeling like a million bucks for having found this gem of a store! read more

I'm happy to join the many folks who have had a great experience with Dean's Shoe Repair! I have two pair of "Penny Loafers" (one black, one brown) which are at least (!) 25 years old. The sole on one pair was becoming "unattached" and upon closer inspection I found the same situation on the other three shoes. Soles and heels were replaced and the newly repaired, newly shined shoes are truly better than new! These folks are terrific! I highly recommend them. read more

Had a good experience making some repairs to a hockey equipment. Very reasonably priced and friendly service. No complaints.

Brought in a vintage jacket I had purchased for my husband where the zipper was broken. It was meant to be an anniversary gift and I needed it to be done with a less than 5 day turnaround. The gentleman who does the zipper repair was really honest and said he couldn't promise anything but that he would do his best to accommodate my request. I got the call a few days later that it was ready and he did a fantastic job of repairing the broken zipper. Quality in service all around. I will be back for more zipper repairs! Worth the drive to their location from Oakland if you are looking for quality work an an item that isn't easily replaceable. read more

I brought a Gucci purse last year in the fall to repair the piping on it had a tear and they did such a wonderful job. Brought a Coach purse and had the strap shortened and added a couple of holes on it, and it turned out so nice. It looked like a new purse! Their price is reasonable and their workmanship is great!
