I discovered George's Shoe Repair after giving up on my favorite Cambridge place, whose post-pandemic prices spiked quite high and became unrealistic for my budget. I am so grateful to have found George's Shoe Repair; I've had different services performed on about six pairs of shoes, and I'm thrilled with the results. As far as I'm concerned, George's Shoe Repair doesn't have competition in the Boston area, and will always be my first call when I need any work done on my shoes.

I have never written a review like this before and I won't pretend there are no spiteful feelings…read moreon my part, that would be a lie. However having gone through what I just did though and knowing the generally good reputation this business has, I feel like I owe it to others to at least try to get the word out everywhere I can and hopefully stop someone from making the same mistake. I had gone to Dave's once before and despite some customer service issues(they somehow lost track of the shoes for a few days) I was impressed with the repair job so I wanted to give them my business again. I took in the shoes my husband bought specially for our wedding to address a few scrapes from a fall he took during the reception. When I picked them up yesterday, they looked different in a way I couldn't place right away but the scratches were better and I had to get back within my lunch hour so I paid and left. It didn't process until I saw them out of the bag at home that they had totally polished over the unique burnished finish and made them a uniform dark brown, completely removing a large part of their charm(see the photos of the brown shoes I'm uploading for reference). My husband and I were devastated. We're not rich, nice shoes like these were an investment piece for him and held sentimental value for both of us. It could be they saw this as necessary to cover the scratches, I can't be sure. What I do know is that I was never asked or even told about it. Even all that by itself might not have been enough to get inspire me to write this review though, that is owed completely to how they handled it. I called them to complain. I won't lie, I was still upset and it probably showed in my voice. I made a very active effort to keep my words civil though and explained the issue plainly. I wasn't interested in anything except an acknowledgement and potential advice to fix this. Once I finished explaining, they hung up on me. I called back, ready to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident (even if I doubted it personally). They picked up and immediately hung up again. Disgraceful. Entirely Disgraceful. To the owners: I took the shoes and paid you, I acknowledge that and realize I don't have the power to do much here. However, as someone who works just around the corner, I am going to do my damnedest to caution anyone I can away from you. That probably won't do a hell of a lot, but I like to think you won't get off entirely scot-free for treating me like garbage. If it also helps someone else stay away from my mistake, even better.

Great work. I came in with a vintage leather handbag that had a broken strap. He was honest with me…read morethat the leather wasn't in great shape and even if he fixed the strap, there would be more issues down the line. I appreciated the honesty so that I didn't fix it without knowing it could be for nothing. But I opted to have it fixed and purchased his recommended leather conditioner. Only $15 for the repair. Maybe it won't last a long time but I love the purse and will give it the best chance it's got.
