I brought in my Old Gringo cowboy boots -- the kind that cost nearly a thousand dollars and have been with me for over a decade -- and they were in rough shape. I'd taken them to a few places before, and everyone told me they couldn't be fixed. Honestly, it didn't make sense to me. Megan at Bresson Shoe Repair took one look at them, admired the craftsmanship, and didn't hesitate for a second. She told me exactly what she could do, quoted me a price that was shockingly reasonable (I was prepared to pay hundreds), and treated the whole situation with kindness and professionalism. Not only did she do beautiful work, she also went above and beyond with her customer service. I had fraudulent activity on my card that day, and she still let me drop my boots off. When I ran late picking them up, she stayed a few extra minutes so I could get there. Just genuinely good people providing excellent craftsmanship. My boots look incredible. I'm so grateful and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend. read more

I had a problem with a pair of shoes, and she fixed it so well and nicely, then the other shoe had the same problem, and she repaired it and worked on the one she had fixed that had a glitch. She is thorough and fair, and easy to work with. Janice read more

She is awesome at what she does and in my opinion affordable.always a joy to take boots or my shoes into her great conversation as well

I brought in a few pairs of shoes for leather repair, scuff removal, and to have my riding boots stretched. They came back looking fantastic! The service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Boot stretch. This was the second time I've taken shoes here. Very impressed with the quality of work Meghan does. Great price for great work. Will definitely recommend her and will be back for other shoe needs. Thank you Meghan. My boots are so comfortable now. read more

The owner is so busy with orders it may take awhile to get your shoes back, but if you can wait for the quality, this is the place to bring your favorites. I couldn't be more pleased with the work and will definitely be bringing all my favorites to this shop! Always Proud to support Gresham local business! read more

I do not recommend going here!!!!! We read Google reviews and they all looked great! ...So I went And Dropped my husband's boots off with Megan Feb 1st and paid $95 to have his soles redone. They were very worn down. A month and a half goes by and No word from her still so I call and inquire about the boots to be told she hadn't started them yet. I gave her the benefit of doubt and figured she had probably been super slammed. She reassured me she would start on them asap. Another two weeks went by, with me having to reach out for contact multiple times and left a few voicemails that were never returned- kinda annoyed by this point but she had finally let me know they were ready to go. So I picked up, and at the same time paid $85 to have another pair of my husbands boots redone. My husband wears the boots the following Monday to work and called me around noon, livid- to tell me the sole of his shoe was flopping off and he needed his other boots asap to be able to work. I went the same day right after hanging up with him to pickup the other boots and get refunded for them and to let her know what had happened. She apologized and said if we bring them back she could fix them etc... so again we give her the benefit of the doubt and take the first pair of boots BACK to Megan to have her redo them and get a call a week later the boots are ready to be picked up. This is the end of March by now and so I go to pickup and all is good- she apologized again and was super nice about the whole thing but the following work day my husband wore his boots to work, fully expecting them to be just fine and low and behold- AGAIN the sole is flopping off! This place is not meant for a working man's boots... it's meant for cosmetic fixes on shoes or boots. There were new scuffs on the leather and glue all over the sole both times and even though she did a good job shining them up- it did nothing to hide the evidence of work being done. They did not look good nor were they functional after we brought them to Megan. It's too awkward at this point to even go back so I'm disputing the charges with my bank and attaching photos here and there so people know not to go and waste their money here. It's unfortunate because the company probably changed ownership a time or two and the name is now completely destroyed. My husband also works with someone who he discovered a few days ago- had the same experience here with Megan. Anyways I hope this helps someone find somewhere that will take the time and put in the effort and detail to produce functional and quality work. read more

I highly recommend Gresham Shoe Repair!! Megan-owner did an amazing boot repair for my 100 year old StepDad's boots! He was visiting for a short visit and she was able to quickly repair them before he left. He was so excited when he saw them. They were like Brand New again!!! read more

Apparently in years past one couldn't spit without it landing on a shoe cobbler. Today they're a dying breed. We are lucky that we have a talented one in Downtown Gresham. Even though the parking availability leaves a lot to be desired, I give this talented young lady's business 5 stars. She does a great job & provides some services for free that she should actually charge for. read more

I live out of town and was looking to have two (very loved) pairs of Frye boots resoled. I asked if they would work with me via shipping and Megan (the owner) said yes. I just got my boots back and they are perfect. Megan did a lovely job restoring the leather sole and wrapping them with a thin layer of Vibram for nonskid and durability. Important for leather soles. So the repair quality was A+. The service was A++. I can highly recommend this shoe repair shop!! Thanks Megan for all the communication and going outside your normal working pattern to accommodate my specific situation. read more

Negative stars. Dropped my boots off in May. Was told 2 weeks for repair. 3 weeks go by, and I go to pick them up. Not finished. Stopped 2 more times and called/texted. In September, I told her I'd be gone for 2.5 weeks. STILL not finished when I returned . "I thought you'd be back on the 6th." She had my boots for 5 MONTHS and still not finished. I run a small business as well, and if she had stated that she was having delays in getting the materials, or reached out in any way, I'd be more understanding, but her repeated "I'm sorry, I didn't get them done." in 5 MONTHS is ridiculous. By the way, I'm still looking for a shoe repair person. read more

This was my first time using this repair shop after another place ruined another pair of birks. While I think it is rather odd to pay before the service, the birks came back better then I expected. Megan said about two weeks - actual time two and half weeks. I wasn't pressed for time on this project and the quality was worth the extra few days. First pic is the after, second and third pictures are the before read more

Megan brought my beloved Eccos back to "as new" condition from a fairly dark place. I didn't think it was possible.

First, I collect high quality vintage shoes. They don't make them like they used to is my mantra. Great shoes can be rebuilt over and over by skilled craftsmen to be new each time. I normally send my vintage Shoes across the country because I just don't trust anyone. I have seen really hack repairs done in the past. That said I am really am impressed with the work done on my shoes by Megan. I opted for a Vibram all weather sole made of rubber. This is tricky because they can end looking crappy, but not here. The edge finish is great one clean line. Sometimes an edge can look like some took a hacksaw to them. It appears the new stitching of the welt lined up perfect with original holes. The heel stack looks amazing with leather sandwiched between the rubber sole and heel cap. Normally you'll see the shortcut of a single piece rubber heel, again not here. What a pleasure to have a great cobbler that does incredible work in my own backyard!! read more

Extremely professional business. I love the fact that when I pick up my shoes, they are good as new. Good value. Highly recommend this business. read more

Megan at Gresham Shoe Repair is awesome. Just ask anyone and they will tell you their story. She has earned the stellar reputation that she has which is why I have used her for years. She is reliable, fast and her prices are reasonable. I've attached a photo of her latest miracle work. The puppy got a hold of brand new Sperry Topsiders. The box was delivered to the house and the puppy chewed through the box and shoe. I found the shoes out in the yard and they never even made it into the house. I thought they were ruined. But Megan was a miracle worker. For a very fair price, it saved a pair of $100 shoes. She repairs many other items other than just shoes. read more

Excellent service right from the start!! Walked in Thursday afternoon to get my boots new soles. Megan told me they'd be ready Monday -I said I needed them by Saturday night THEN the man in back popped out saying "I'll have them ready for you Saturday afternoon " on Saturday 10am I received a text from Megan - they're ready. They polished em and they fixed heels to look great. So reasonable! read more

I took my Filson duffle bag this morning because one of the brass rivets had popped out with a second one on its last legs. I had originally contacted Filson as they have a lifetime warranty but discovered it would take way too long and I would be responsible for shipping. Long story short, after googling for cobblers in the area, I found Gresham Shoe Repair along with a 105 year history. Two rivets at $3 each and $10 for stitching. The told me to pick up the bag the next day (4.2.14) but was pleasantly surprised by a call today saying that the work was done. Will definitely do business with them and they come highly recommended. read more

I had a purse that had lost the attachment that held the strap in place. She tried to find a replacement but it was a strange size and difficult to find. She had already made some leather rings for reattaching the strap and just threw them in along with the refund because she couldn't find the right piece. Afterwords I spent hours online searching for the right piece and couldn't find anything. I finally (after an extensive amount of time searching) found a piece that might work. I bought it...waited for a long shipping period...tried the attachment, it wasn't even close to the original and other remaining side...return postal fees...long wait for refund. Nope, I can't blame her for something that is impossible to fix. She was very kind about my refund. I saw other happy customers coming and going. I am going to try this business again on my next leather craft need. It's just refreshing to know you're going to be taken care of no matter the outcome. read more

I wish I had taken before photos, but I didn't, so you'll have to take my word for it: This shop performs affordable miracles. They repaired the heels, secured the soles & polished a pair of no-brand western boots I found at the Goodwill. They replaced the elastic section of an ankle strap on a pair of adorable wedges and fixed a hot mess of glue & diy-disasters on another pair of discount wedges I had tried to fix myself on multiple occasions. ALL this, for $55! And within a week! AND without judging me for wanting to save some cheap-ass shoes from Payless! :) I have three of my VERY FAVORITE pairs of shoes back in my closet and ready to wear for summer! THANK YOU! Highly recommend this shop! read more

My red wing boots were about four years old and needed to be resoled. I read some reviews about Gresham shoe repair being one of, if not the best shoe repair businesses around. So I decided to get my boots done with them and they turned out fantastic!!! They certainly didn't let me down. The workmanship is top notch. Megan not only resoled my boots but gave them a shine and replaced the laces. HIGHLY recommend Gresham Shoe Repair! read more

My 'thousand mile boots' were in desperate need of some tlc and new vibram soles. Gresham Shoe Repair went above and beyond what I expected! I really wish I had a 'before' picture so you could see the difference, but take my word for it, they do great work. The only downside was the wait. Their sewing machine broke and delayed my pickup by about a week, but they called to let us know. Regardless. Five stars, easy read more

I have two pair of shoes that my dog had badly chewed. Several other repair shops would not repair them. Megan at Gresham Shoe Repair said she could fix them. I had material from the shoe company for one pair but the sandals were a different story. The strap over the instep was partially chewed away. The material was metallic and made in circles of different sizes. She completely made a new strap with materials she had that matched the original. It is perfect and she is so talented in this craft I would trust her to repair any shoe. My shoes look new again. Before I found Megan I was prepared to throw the shoes away. One was a pair of SAS and they sent material. The sandals were Munro and they could not help me. read more

The original 1970s white elastic material securing the buckle on my clogs, fell apart the day before I was leaving out of town. Gresham Shoe Repair was able to accommodate my shoes for a last minute repair. I'm incredibly impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. It feels very secure and looks even better with the brown material holding down the buckle. I would definitely use them in the future. 10/10 read more

My spouse stopped in here once for a repair, and had a great experience. Their price was competitive, and they did a great job.

Megan was absolutely fabulous! My soles were loose on my boots, and she fixed them perfectly. Can't even tell there was a repair made, even if I look closely. They were ready in 48 hours, and she polished them for me!!!! Very friendly, also. I will TOTALLY go back. Customer for life! Ample parking available as well. This is a family business, which I totally prefer over some impersonal chain shop. read more

I brought a purse in to have a piece Re-sewn that held the strap. It was ready when I was told it would be. I'll go back. Thank you Megan.

If you need a shoe miracle, this is the place to go! A friend recommended the shop, and I drove many miles to get there - well worth it. The business has been in place for decades, and the current owner, Gene Norman is a friendly, knowledgeable & SKILLED cobbler. I took in a pair of my daughter's Jimmy Choos that she had walked in all over Chicago in all kinds of weather. They looked like they were in need of a proper burial, with the heel worn down to a nail, leather pitted, and ornamental pieces flapping freely. I didn't have much hope, but took a chance on Gene's skills, and was rewarded with shoes that look (and smell) brand new!!! He smoothed the leather wrap back down & around the heel & replaced the tip, added a new thin rubber sole (since leather soles crack in the cold), secured all the ornamental pieces, and polished them til they shone. All for 30 bucks. He similarly fixed a pair of satin Aldos, making them also like new. This was a surprise for my daughter, and I even wrapped them up for Christmas. She actually thought I had replaced her "favorite shoes" with new ones. Should have seen the look on her face! Besides fairly charging for his work, Gene was reliable about how long it would take to have the shoes ready. Can't say enough good things about this shop. I highly recommend it. read more

I can't say enough good things about this shoe shop. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the service can't be beat. I purchased a pair of $$$ booties a few months ago, but the Portland rain soaked through them very quickly. Gene repaired the soles & rebuilt the leather that was disintegrating on the toe beautifully. It looks like he also shined the heel and toe before they were returned to me. Gene told me that it would take him about a week to repair my shoes, and would cost about $50 (a fair price; my new shoes were pretty damaged). He called me to let me know when they were finished, and when I picked them up the price was as quoted. He even recommended that I bring shoes with thin soles to him before I wear them, so that he can preventatively build up the sole for a lesser price. This place is magic! read more

Can't say enough about how great these guys are. I am a fan of cobblers And some are miss. These guys are HIT. Brought boots with paint all over them and they made them GORGEOUS. Also brought my fluevog motorcycle boots to them after I wore out the soles. Gene put off road vibrams on them and they look original and match the boots perfectly. They were slammed for good reason. They do beautiful work. Be patient, take the shoes you don't need for a couple weeks over and you'll be new boot goofin' when they're done. Cobblers Rock, and these guys are very good at what they do. read more
