Upon entering the smell of leather rocks your soul. I would venture to say even hard core vegans…read morelove the smell of leather.  Back in the day my partner was always taking her shoes here for new heels.  Girls and their heels!!! When working in the city I would sometimes drop them of at places there just for convenience but nothing as good as The Cobblers. Not only a shoe repair place but a store for boots, work boots, hats, coats etc. I even stock up on Shoe Goo here for my Merrill running shoes with the sole that can't be replaced but was told it would be more expensive if they did it so just get the Shoe Goo. This place has been around since the late 50's and run by the same family.  Shoe repair is an art that won't get taken over by AI. The only thing that will put a place like this out of business is disposable shoes and clothes.  We are not there yet for the nice stuff. So once again my partner needed heels on her boots and since nothing local it's of to Hayward. $20 up front and a few days later boots look as good as new. New heels and all polished up. So for the ladies not sure if ya'll in the clackety heel camp or the more cushie no clack camp, but they have both. My partner is in the clackety camp. You can get hear her coming on a tile floor a mile away. So not just heels but resoles and all types of repairs. There is free parking on the street and in the back. Go there, it'll be great.

The Cobblers is an institution in this area, they've been around for decades & I truly hope they…read morestick around longer. They have excellent selection of shoes, western wear, leather, etc. Most importantly - they do repairs and even full rebuilds of shoes, boots, high heels, etc. I have a pair of duty boots for the fire department (Chippewa brand) that I purchased from them 20+yrs ago for the community college fire academy. After 15 or so years of daily wear and abuse, the Cobblers rebuilt them - and it was as if the boot were brand new!! I had a pull tab / loop tear off on my expensive ostrich skin western boots; they repaired it & it looked brand new. They are also INCREDIBLY skilled at re-soling shoes & boots. I have another pair of western boots, that I wear for outdoor activities; hunting, fishing, camping. Not only did they rebuild them to like-new, they installed an "aggressive" sole, so now I have a pair of western slip-on cowboy boots, which have a pair of hiking style off-road soles!! They work absolute magic at this place! Particularly for your leather shoes / boots, don't throw them away... Take them to the cobblers, they'll make them as if they're brand new!!

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION SHINE…read more When I went to the Men's Wearhouse to buy an attire for my high school reunion one of the sales associates recommended either a black dress shoe or casual shoe with my attire. I looked at the black casual shoe, which I preferred over the black dress shoe. I also liked the price. However I wasn't sure how often I would wear the black casual shoe. At home I had a pair of black dress shoe and black casual shoe. Instead of buying a pair of casual shoes from the Men's Wearhouse I brought these pairs to A-1 Shoe Repair for shoe shining. I went here about one week about my high school reunion. When I asked about my black Florsheim dress shoe if I can add a heel protector, Randall stated due to the condition of the heel he would need to insert a new heel that costs $15, which I didn't want to pay. I then asked him how much for a shoe shine for both pairs of shoes. He said $40, which is less than a pair of casual shoes I was interested at the Men's Wearhouse. I dropped off my pair of shoes. The day before the reunion I picked my two pairs of shoes. I liked the shine on both shoes. I think overall the shine on the Florsheim stood out more. I decided to wear the black Florsheim dress shoes for the reunion not because of the shine but I felt those shoes were more comfortable to wear than the black Nike casual shoes. Overall I'm glad I came to A-1 Shoe Repair for a shoe shine for my two pairs of shoes.

Finding a solid, friendly, and honest shoe repair shop feels nearly impossible these days, but…read moreMaselli truly exceeded my expectations! I had been hesitant after reading mixed reviews of other places, so I reached out to Maselli first to see if they could meet my expectations. Their responsiveness and honesty immediately gave me confidence, and I decided to bring my boots in. I did have to pay the full amount upfront before seeing the finished product, which made me a bit hesitant at first--but the results truly speak for themselves. What impressed me even more was learning that the restoration was hand painted, not sprayed on, which shows just how much care, skill, and meticulous attention to detail went into the work. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. This place is truly a gem, and I'm so glad I took the chance. I've finally found a shoe repair shop I can trust and will absolutely be coming back.

Now he is trying to defame me? (Lol, gotta laugh because he can't actually defend his point so he attacks my credibility.) No apologizes or accommodations for the lack of service were offered. He would NOT appreciate the thievery I'm sure. My truck still smells after it rains due to mold and I'm still out the money. Breaks my heart because for me that was A LOT of money to spend and to be treated this way by the company that took my money is shameful. Icing on the cake is this sad person spends his time talking crap about his OWN customer (lol) instead of improving his business relationships. If you prefer to have actual quality service done on your vehicle-Do not go to this business! I sat on this for a while because I was so flabbergasted that he did not spend his time working with me (HIS customer and actually provide service i.e. install a sunroof that WORKS without leaking!) Instead, he acted like a child and sat and copied all of MY reviews, as I said pathetic and immature. NO VALUE in this business unless you want to give your money to a place that does not care about their customers. I encourage you, read all of this review and take note on how he treats customers. Offering to give me a number of another business that I can yet pay again- is NOT help. Mic drop- I suppose he will try to deflect again instead of "actual" resolution. Nonetheless, truth hurts. I will not back down to this immature bully. And you won't have to read my reviews because he likes to post them so take a look- I like to state the truth. Give your money/business to an honest person who provides quality customer service instead and let this person join our government since he enjoys being a bully.

I had the black (Toyota) Softex. In most cases, it would have been adequate, but given the purchase price, I felt this car needed LEATHER, not vinyl. The professionalism by the installers was no surprise given all the 5 star reviews from previous, ecstatic customers. This company bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule and to make sure everything was prepared prior to my arrival. I was so impressed by the finished product. I'm so glad I chose the Tuscany leather. It was worth the money. Definitely recommend Coach Automotive for your next interior. You won't regret the investment. The sales manager whose name I can't recall was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had sooooo many questions and was apprehensive, but (he) made me feel 100%. He didn't push, but lead to an interior design that best fit my personality: bougie and elegant at the same time. Hahaha. 10 stars if that was possible.

I went in there because I was considering on buying a little hello kitty plush for room decor! When I walked in, the chinese man at the register just straight up looked at me and didn't even greet with a hello or anything(like good customer service is supposed to do). Then as I was looking around in the store, the man just stood up from his chair and still didnt say a word to me and started looking at me at everywhere I went in the store(basically watching me) as if I might steal something! I was really feeling awkward being in there and just decided not to buy anything and just walked out! The store needs better customer service than just that one nozy and impolite chinese man!

I went inside the shop and a Hispanic man with silver tooth said the shoes weren't ready, and asked me to wait for a few minutes. I said, "I was told that the shoes will be ready for today pickup, how come it wasn't ready. Then, he asked me if I still wanted to wait or not." I waited for less than 10 minutes then he gave me the shoes it was ruined, he cuts off the fabric without tucking it inside before putting on a new heel tips. He was so rude to customers and told me not to ever come back to the shop. This man has no work professionalism. Please think twice before you come to this place for services.
