Helpful and professional! Hope your legs feels better and better:) His communication is right on.

Purse Repair Mr Grundman repaired my black vinyl purse, that looks like leather, with a patch. The corner of my cell phone pocket had cracked the vinyl, leaving the white backing exposed. His patch is barely detectable and even has the crinkles like the leather! I love this purse and that was the only thing wrong with it, but it was unsightly. I'm very happy I can continue to use it and don't have to try to find a new one! read more

Great job restoring my Birkenstocks. Quick and painless. Nice man, polite and professional.

A true artist! This is what I love about Humboldt county, real artist still exist! I only send my best Italian leather boots here. Such a craftsman, attention to detail and makes good shoes last for decades. So grateful! read more

He did an awesome job repairing my boots!! Great quality. Well worth every penny. It took awhile, but once the job was complete I was so happy with the product. read more

See all

Took two pairs of boots in to be re-soled. The brown ones are around 7 years old, were looking really bad, and I was ready to throw them away but hated the idea of finding a pair to replace them. The heels on both of them blend perfectly, and he somehow made both pairs of boots look practically new. I wish I had a before photo to show the difference.... It's a big one! Highly recommend, went above and beyond just the re-sole that I asked for by cleaning them up all around. Very friendly, timely, and reasonably priced. Certainly worth the cost compared to adding to a landfill and spending tons of time to find new pairs of boots. This is my second or third time going here and each time I've been really happy. Highly recommend! read more

Best shoe repair ever. He's revived several pairs of expensive shoes for me so they look.like new. Worth every penny for such careful craftsmanship. read more

Grundmans has been a part of Eureka for many decades. In the olden days, Mr. Grundman was "The Man" - courteous, kind and efficient. Seemed like everyone went to Henderson Center to Grundman's. I think there were three sons who also worked in the store. All St Bernard's boys - trained well by their dad to be professional and kind. Classic. read more

The workmanship here is top quality. He fixed my slip-on favorite mule style cowboy boots so that they looks like new. I had worn them for years and did not want to give them up. So glad someone in the world still knows how to provide good service. I recommend this shop highly and am grateful they are here. read more

Very pleasant man. Gave reasonable timeframe and fixed both pairs of boots that I brought.

Great place, quality work, done on time, reasonable rates, and generally swell guy. Does unusual repairs, beside shoe service. I appreciate that he gives me advice if the shoes are not worth saving. An honest man. read more

Very friendly, and quality work. I got my boots back and they looked brand new. Thank you.

I was a fan of his work for a year or so until I was two weeks to leaving and my favorite purse broke. The handle just need to be stitched back to the purse, nothing way crazy. I too, it to him and he told me itd be like 6-8 weeks and $30. I told him I was leaving in 2 weeks was there anyway it could be done faster. He told me basically fat chance. I asked if he knew of another place that could do it quicker and was informed none that would be poor work and a waste of my time. I ended up taking my purse to a place in fortuna, they had it done in 3 days for $5 and 4 months later there is no sign that it's going to break again. I will never recommend Grundmans to anyone I know ever again. read more

Definitely worth the wait! My Fryes were showing their age, with worn-out heels and a crack across the bottom, so I took them here to have them re-soled. They look and feel brand new! I really appreciate that the new soles are stitched on, rather than glued - feels much more durable. In total, it was about $75 and a month's wait, which I feel is fair for quality work, especially since Mr. Grundman works alone. Be prepared to pay about half up front as a deposit. read more

Turn-around is not quick, but he does excellent work. We tried several Humboldt cobblers before finding Grundman' and he's the best locally and prices are very good. Just realize it will be a wait of several weeks. We've had men's soles and heels replaced and repaired. We've always been happy with the work done! It's the only place we go now. read more

I've been taking my shoes to Grundman's for many years, at least 20. I've always been highly satisfied with the work performed. The owner works alone, so there can be a bit of a wait. However, quality results are always worth it. I love the shop and its kind, quiet and helpful proprietor! read more

Long wait, but he does excellent work, on time, and at a good price. Mr Grundman is very friendly and seems that he enjoys his craft. I like to take my shoes and boots there for maintenance once or twice a year, and am considering using him for handbag repairs. When you visit, make note of his animal trophy collection in the lobby and his cool antique cash register. read more

We are so lucky to have this shop in our community! One of my favorite pairs of pretty expensive shoes broke after not much wear, and he was able to fix them -better than new! - within a matter of minutes. In today's "throw away" culture, I really appreciate the quality workmanship that allowed me to keep these shoes out of the landfill. I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Wonderful service. I thought for sure my boots needed new zippers, had gotten quotes from other leather shops averaging around $120, went to Grundman's because I had heard it was the best in town and less expensive, and he fixed my boots in 30 seconds! Very refreshing to have such an honest person. I will definitely be recommending this store to others and will return whenever I have issues with my shoes! read more

This is addressed in part to the woman who took her purse strap in and was critical of Mr. Grundman telling her it would be several weeks.....well, you are not the most important person in the world, so get over your narcissism and self-importance. A lot of us have been waiting for several weeks at a time to get our shoes/boots/whatever back from him, for many years. He is an older man who has no one helping him at all. He is very honest, works hard, and always has one's belongings ready on the date he sets. If I were overwhelmed with work, I would feel I could charge an adequate amount, as well. He always does skilled work, and is justifiably proud of his efforts. read more
