If I ever need a shoe repaired or a piece of clothing altered, this is where I take them. Hands down the best workmanship in town. John used to get a lot of referral business from Dillard's when his store was inside the Seminole Town Center mall. He probably still does if they are smart. His shoemaker skills are unparalled. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon to see if I could get my purse fixed. I have come here several times to have some shoes repaired. He repairs all types of things leather and non-leather. He quoted me $30 which is a little more than I wanted to pay. So I'll keep looking for a better deal. read more

John's Heel & Sew - Shoe Repair Near Me - Sanford, Florida

John is such a great guy! Took a pair of shoes for a fix to the heel. His price was very fair and the shoes were ready the next day!! Only warning he is not at the Sanford mall anymore. He's having difficulty getting this fixed with all the naps but he is located at 237 Bellagio circle by Walmart-close by!! read more

I went in to consult about jeans I bought that were too small. They were really professional and nice. The tailor couldn't help but the interaction was enough for them to have my business should I need any alterations. read more

The service was Excellent. John took care of my purse that I dropped off yesterday. And I was able to pick it up today. Not only did he do a great job repairing the purse he conditioned the purse and now it looks brand new. I will definitely refer all my friends to the business. read more

I used this place a handful of times for shoe repairs, and a few years back my husband used it for his wedding suit alterations. They do a good job, very reliable. Their prices are very reasonable. read more

Brought a pair of leather combat boots in for me heels and a zipper replaced on one. Paid over $70 in advance. Only proof given was a credit card slip which made me nervous. Tried three times to pick the boots up. Every time they were closed even though it was within the hours of operation posted online. Saw shoes lined up against the wall for sale that had been "abandoned by the owners" which made me even more nervous. Finally got the boots back. The heels are shorter and smooth instead of the same lug style soles. When I wear them I feel like I'm leaning back. read more

I've gone here twice for alterations (my wedding dress and my bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding) and both times they did a good job. Very quick and reasonably priced! read more

Small shoe repair and alterations shop located inside the Seminole Town Center mall. Have had many pairs of shoes fixed here and some purses repaired too. They do a great job and are very fast. When you drop off your items you get the cost of the repair immediately and pay in advance. The shop will call you when the repair is ready. Even though I don't come in too often, the owner often remembers me and is friendly with greetings. I appreciate it. Can't say enough about this humble little place, they do great work! read more

Pretty impressed, went in and took him 2 mins to tell me my pants will be altered and ready in 30 mins. Pretty impressed with the quickness. Thank you read more

John's Heel & Sew - In between Macy's and Sears, Hall entrance. Surprised no one mentioned that. - Shoe Repair Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Went there from a recommendation from a friend. We will NEVER go back! Took him a pair of brand new Chanel shoes to have a non-slip sole put on and came back with a shoe that had marks on the original leather AND he ground the original heal. We called and he said it was already ground when he got the BRAND NEW shoe??? The whole point of using him was to not damage the original shoe. Hopefully he will pay for the damage read more

A friend of mine with "particular taste" uses them all the time so it said a lot. Used John's to resole a pair of loafers. Anyone with loafers knows that they really start getting comfy after about one sole's worth of life (get better and better!). John's did up the soles and heels perfectly and made the shoes look better than new. My wife (who has a degree in Shoes) didn't see why I wanted to resole...after we got these back from John's she understood my point of view..for me. I'm going back shortly with a repair and expect good things. read more

This is my favorite tailor shop. He always remembers me when I come in and have been going there for years. They do a great job, very quick turn-around and high-quality tailoring. read more

Great family business. I started using John's almost 15 years ago and have been very happy. Anything from shoe polishing to major shoe repair to alterations. Have always had great service. Highly Recommend!!! read more

I'm used to shoe repair places that do shoe repair, and maybe a dry cleaner that does alterations -- but this was my first exposure to a combo shoe repair/alterations place. What a great find. As luck would have it, I needed some shoe work, and a bunch of alterations that had been stacking up for some time. 5-Star service in both categories. Odd that it's in a mall, yes, but at least it's near a main mall entrance, so it's quite easy to get to. Definitely recommend the place for shoe repair or a new hem in a pair of pants. read more

Not the cheapest but pretty quick and seem reliable the few times I have used them. The hems are not of the highest quality though. Close to the entrance between Macy's and Sears read more

For several years I've brought clothes to be tailored and shoes to be repaired and I've never been disappointed. They're very professional in their quality and delivery of products. read more

My mom told me about this place and I started coming here too like the other reviews ... This place is always on point . He always delivers! He's a professional at what he does. There's no other place I'd take my shoes or clothes to imo he's by far the BEST!!! read more

I've used John's Heel and Sew for years now. Always good work done in a timely fashion. In fact he usually has it ready before I make it back to pick things up! read more

I dropped off a skirt with a broken zipper and was told I would receive a call from someone letting me know if the zipper could be fixed or would need to be replaced, and how much the repair would be. That call never came. SIX days later I went into the shop to find out what was going on, to find my skirt repaired and hanging from a rack. Because the repair had already been completed I had no choice but to pay the exorbitant amount of $15 for a zipper replacement. The actual skirt didn't cost that much! I was appalled that a repair was done on my skirt without my being notified, when my drop off ticket clearly stated, "Fix zipper or change?--CALL CUSTOMER". Thank goodness this place wasn't a car repair shop. I'll never return and I'd advise others to steer clear as well. read more

I do not recommend. No set prices, prices based on their assessment of customer. I was charged $15 to stretch a shoe. The shoe was overstretched when I went to collect it. They said don't worry we are making an insole for you. Then charged an additional $10 to cut the insole i.e half an insole just for the instep. Not sure why I had to absorb the charge for their error. BIG RIP OFF!!!! Will never ever go back!!! read more

I brought it my brand new wedding dress from the bridal store to be altered. When I came to pick up my dress there were black marks on the back. The associate refused to give me a discount or pay half of my $45 cleaning bill before my wedding and started that this was on the back of my dress and not noticeable. I have been coming here for years and will lot be returning. I was extremely dissatisfied with the lack of customer service or lack of consideration provided. read more
