    tl;dr, non-Vietnamese customer gets YELLED AT because the owner doesn't want to take responsibility for destroying her $400 leather shoes. My mother's favorite pair of leather shoes needed some cleaning and Gioi Shoes was recommended by her co-worker. Her co-worker pays $20 to get her shoes cleaned here. My mom arrived at the shop and the owner raised their voice and said it wasn't $20, that it was $25. My mom, a very unconfrontational lady, agreed. She asked if she could pick it up later today and, again, was told there was "NO WAY!" it would be done the same day, and to pick it up Sunday. My mom said she would pick it up Monday. She called me on Monday/pick-up day, extremely distraught. She sent me a picture of her $400 Paul Green shoes, a COMPLETELY different color and SPLOTCHY. The owner stated that this was the color of the shoe, and to pay them $25 or else she couldn't get her shoes back. My mom told me there was some sort of weird wax on it that shouldn't go on a leather shoe. My mom showed the owner the picture of her shoe: that brown/tan color doesn't even exist from the shoe company, so why are they stating that's the color that was "brought in"? They blamed her for being a liar and she was shaken up because she was yelled at. The level of unprofessionalism makes me furious for my mom, who has worked in the area for over twenty years. This place is an embarrassment to the community and the owners should 1) take ownership of their mistakes 2) not charge people who don't speak Vietnamese extra and 3) NOT YELL AT CUSTOMERS(?!?!). Don't bring anything here that you aren't willing to throw away.

    Shoes repaired! Yay!!!!

    Opened early and was immediately available to repair my heals. I was able to continue to my meeting without any hiccups or obstacles. I highly recommend Gioi Shoes to repair all my shoes. Thank you for your excellent service! Be prepared to pay cash

    Uncle Gioi has always taken care of my shoes. I brought my allen edmonds here for him to add the protection layer to the leather soles and once they wear out he could simple replace the layer. He has the best price in town and top notch quality and dedication to his crafts. Everyday he shows up at 8am and work on shoes without fail. His wife is the helper so sometimes you gotta double check with him to see what needed to be done. Recently I just got a bespoke pair of oxford from uncle Gioi and it was the perfect fit. Granted they aren't welted shoes but for a price of one allen edmonds you'll get 2 custom made pairs perfectly molded to the shapes of your feet. I have wide feet narrow heels so it has been hard to find a fitting shoes. I had to go EEE on AE 201 last and it was a bit too roomy. Uncle Gioi solved my problems and now I'm wearing them more than my AE shoes.

    Quick service at a good price. My parents are from Florida and always bring their shoes here for repairs at a fraction of the cost.

    If you have a pair of shoes you love, don't see anyone else besides Jose at Leon's Shoe Service!…read more I have three pairs of vintage Frye Campus boots from the 80s, 90s, and 00s that have become my all-time favorite shoes. After several music festivals and more than 100K steps, my babies needed some serious love. Between the worn heels, chipped leather, and dryness that could rival the Sahara, I knew that if I wanted them to last another 40 years, and eventually pass them down to my kids, they needed real care. I was admittedly nervous to have any work done because I'm so protective of them. But after meeting with Jose, I knew instantly he was the right person to trust, and I am SO glad I did. When I came to pick them up, I genuinely started jumping up and down because I was in absolute AWE of how incredible they looked. He revived each pair to what felt like their original state, repaired the leather like a magician, and made them look brand new. With Jose's unmatched expertise and craftsmanship, I'm confident these boots will last lifetimes longer than they ever would have without his care. Beyond his passion for shoes, Jose is an absolute king. Truly an incredible person all around! Every time I'm there, I genuinely enjoy our conversations, and I always look forward to seeing him the next time. It's rare to find someone this talented and this kind, and it makes supporting his work even more special. Thank you, Jose, for being the best and for taking such great care of my babies!!

The craftsmanship, professionalism, and care that went into the work were outstanding. You can tell they take great pride in what they do. In my opinion, there is no better place in all of Orange County to get your shoes shined. Highly recommended.
