Had a broken heel that I needed to get fixed. Ordinarily, I would toss the shoes and get a new pair, but I am on a reduce, reuse and recycle kick and decided to try and salvage them. Didn't even know that cobblers still existed. Sure enough, a quick Yelp and/or google search led me to Leon who was not only able to expertly mend my broken shoe but shined them like new. Located in a car wash, but don't let that weird you out. Leon is the real deal and the service was impeccable. read more

I found this place through Next-door ap and I have to say I'm happy with the service. I brought in 3 pairs of shoes. One of them I thought was beyond repair (one of my winter favorites)...but nope-fixed and ready to be used and abused again:) And I know that $1 has a different value for each one of us, specially in these times, but I think I payed a reasonable price for all the work that needed to be done. Next time I'll need some shoe repair-I'll bu coming back here! Thank you!!! read more

First of all this is my first time using a cobbler! And I'm so happy I was led to Leon's Shoe Service through. Yelp. Jose greeted us and since I didn't know what services I would need to revive my favorite pair of heels I asked him to let me know what was possible. He explained what would be needed in labor to fix my broken heel and other shoe details from the wearing down. Reading previous reviews I hoped to get a make over like all the ones before me ....and i did ! but when I picked up my shoes ...nothing can describe picking up your favorite shoes and them looking great again! Honestly , it makes you so happy to have your shoes have more life. He took his time and sealed the peeling dry leather! He also repainted the leather to make them look refreshed! Protected the sole with a vinyl protector! Repaired my broken heel! I recently started buying high quality shoes to slowly build a good collection that can last for years. All I needed was a talented cobbler and I found him! Go visit Jose and take all your favorite shoes! read more

This was my second visit to Leon to have my shoes repaired. This pair of Magnanni dress shoes, I've had for 5-6 years and have had them repaired once through Nordstrom's which I was NOT happy with. Leon has made these shoes that have a TON of miles on them, brand new once again. Amazing service and very quick turn around. 10/10! Thanks Leon read more

I've been needing a new shoe repair place for quite some time. I've been meaning to get a pair of high heels fixed up, and I needed extra holes punched into some luxury belts of mine. To be honest, I felt a little awkward to ask him for so many holes in so many different belts, but Leon's attitude was extremely positive and welcoming! I looked up shoe repair places, called the top 3 near me with best reviews, and from the second Leon answered the phone, he was awesome! I was super surprised to find him located INSIDE the Chevron gas station's quick mart, but honestly, he was so quick, thorough and friendly-- I loved it all! Leon is a super nice man, and his work is great! His pricing is realistic too! I highly recommend him and his services! I am very happy to have found Leon! read more

Leon did a very good job of repairing four pair of shoes for me at a very reasonable price. I would definitely bring my shoes to him again.

I needed a pair of shoes shined up before a big job interview so I checked Yelp, found Leon's and was off to Lake Forest. $7 later and I'm a happy man. He did a great job on my size 12s and I'll be sure to be back. The shoe shine was better than the car wash I got... and took only 15 minutes. Mr. Leon was friendly, speedy, and gave me a "buy 9 shines and the 10th one is free" card. I will certainly be back for a shine the next time I need one. A great expereince! read more

Very good though repair of my shoes. A little far from my house but a nice man and very helpful wife to give directions. Thanks read more

I took my pair of sandals to Leon for a repair to the leather strap. I didn't really have much hope for them because a dog completely chewed through the leather on the top part of the emblem. However, I figured his quote of $20 was definitely worth a try. He was very honest and told me that they wouldn't be perfect because they were so badly damaged. I just picked them up and i had to write this review because they are better than I imagined. I highly recommend Leon because he can work magic. I really wish I had a before picture because the transformation is incredible read more

Extremely honest! I brought my old Cole Hana dress shoe. Was advised that this type of shoe, specifically the soft rubber may not adhere well. So cannot guarantee a perfect outcome. It's not Cole Haan, just this leather & rubber sole combo. $25 to glue the sole + $10 for the shoe shine. Ultimately I decided against it, as the glue may come off after the first wear. Bought the shoes for ~$200 over 5 or even 8 years ago, so I've already gotten my monies worth. Thank you for your honesty & I'll bring my other dress shoes for a shine in the future. read more

Called him and was very courteous and told me he was a little busy and that he closed at 1pm and this was a Saturday morning around 9:30am. I told him I just needed a shoe shine. He told me ok come and drop them off . When I got to the place he told me I would have my shoes in an hour. I told him to call me couple minutes before they where done because I driving from to him from lake forest and he did call me. Thanks Daniel for your service and fitting me in your schedule...saved me on getting my shoes done because I wouldn't have time during the week and I have a job interview on Tuesday so really need this. Will come back and thanks yelpers he's the best. read more

Leon is a shoe shine master. He has taken about 5 of my shoes that had scuffs to the leather and has reconditioned them to brand new condition. I often stop in for gas or a drink and in the process will either drop pairs of shoes off to him or sit while they give my shoes a shine. He knows what he is doing and it clearly shows. I get a lot of compliments on my shoes after seeing Leon. Thanks, I will be back soon! read more
