My beloved shoes are dry rotting from the sole up. I took them here after reading so many great reviews. I was impressed. The cobbler (I refuse to let that term die out!) inspected them and earnestly explained they're beyond repair. I'm so sad but I appreciate the honesty. read more

Dropped off a pair of shoes for a shine and needing a quick turnaround. The price was very reasonable and the shine was great!

I drive all the way from Hampstead to Longleaf for their exceptional work. I've had belts repaired and just recently a very high-end handmade leather shoe repaired fantastic work always highly recommend. read more

Easy location to find, great pricing, great repair with great service. The repair to my wife's purse made her very happy!

Phenomenal job with my Lucchese boots. Brand new heels and a flawless stitch job on the side, good as new and so affordable! Highly recommend. read more

So happy to have found a cobbler in Wilmington! Quality work at an affordable price! read more

It's a rare thing to find an old-fashioned shoe cobbler. If you're like me you know how hard it is to find shoes you love and even harder to find a shop to help you maintain them. I consider myself lucky that I found this shop and that I can get the services I need. The owner has always taken such good care of me. I have taken my shoes in to be repaired and polished so they always look brand new. Just FYI this shop is only open Monday to Friday and closed Saturday and Sunday. read more

I had no idea that show repair places even existed until my shoe broke and I posted on FB about anyone knowing someone that could help me fix it. I Was referred to Long leaf repair and Josh, by several people. I was able to text Josh a picture of my broken shoe and he told me he could fix it. He charged $15 and had it ready in perfect condition within 5 days. The place is super tiny and nestled in between the mail room and another business. I found it very fascinating in a strange way. Lol. read more

Woman's boots were professionally resoled, with impeccable craftsmanship, and ready on the scheduled date. Will be taking all our cobbler needs to Long Leaf in the future. read more

Owner was super friendly and repaired my stuff very quickly! Pricing was reasonable too.

The best shoe repair I have ever had. He has even replaced the entire heel of shoes that my dogs have chewed up and helped restore many of my leather boots and they look brand spankin new. Sometimes I never hear back when they are finished so I make sure to call and check in. read more

This is one of the only shoe repair places in the Wilmington area. The owner was very nice and was willing to keep my shoes for as long as needed, since I don't live nearby. I have not picked them up yet, but will update this review at that time. Small, abit hard to find, business across the parking lot from Gabes. read more

I brought in a couple pairs of shoes that I thought were beyond saving, and I was proven wrong. Quick turnaround time - I brought them in in a Friday and they were ready on Wednesday. The price was extremely reasonable. I unfortunately didn't take before and after pictures, but I'll be using Longleaf again (I already have a pair of shoes ready to go!). read more

An easy five star review for this place. I have a pair of 14-15 year old Aerostitch street motorcycle boots that had worn smooth and hardened soles. While debating on buying new boots, the reality was that these are fine, just need new soles. I know I got lucky by coming to Long Leaf Shoe Repair for the fix. - Very reasonable cost -Faster than expected date for pickup -Ready as scheduled. - Perfect replacement job. These boots look and feel like new, thank you. read more

They are friendly & reasonably priced. Josh is a miracle worker. While I missed my favorite shoes (it took 2 weeks; they're busy), it was worth it. To replace them would have cost me 3x as much, plus they are already broken in & ready to go. I'd definitely bring all my shoes here if/when they need repairs. read more

I have used these folks for years and they are simply the best around and this comes from a custom made footwear maker of over 40 years.

My first visit to repair 2 pairs of boots that looked pretty sad...they both came back looking beautiful and new! I'm not quite sure what he did, but it's beyond what I had hoped for. I'm so glad I found this place. Oh and I should note that the owner is very sweet and happy! read more

You'd be surprised what the owner of this business can do to a pair of shoes. I've had sandal straps repaired, boots and shoes re-resoled, and shoes just generally made to look brand new. This is always my first option for any sort of repair and more often than not the owner can fix anything I bring in. read more

Had an old pair of Florsheim imperials needing soles and heels. Not only did he replace both, he repaired several places where the stitching was coming undone, without being asked. The shoes look like new. WELL DONE. read more

A friend recommended this shoe repair shop to me. Its a little tough to find, being a small shop, but worth it. I had a pair of sandals that the elastic at the ankle strap had given out. The gentleman in the shop told be it would be no problem, it is a common occurrence. I left them on a Monday, returned on Friday for them. They look as good as new, I was delighted. A small shop with great service and super efficient. read more

This is my go to for all things leather. He has saved my boots and made them look like new. Kind and excellent work! Great combination.

Outstanding work. Excellent prices. Very good customer service. Shoe repair taken seriously. read more

I was ready to trash my beloved boat shoes as they had been through all sorts of environments, attested to by the state of the leather. Now that I'm in a decent sized city I thought perhaps there would be a place to restore them to their former glory (hey, they're still so comfortable!). Located Longleaf through YELP and went there although it was a bit of a challenge to find them. Skinny door with very large "Shoe Repair" sign above, tucked in between 2 larger businesses. I think I probably passed it twice. At any rate, dropped off the shoes and picked them up about a week later looking nearly brand new! read more

Professional, quick, quality service. I will be taking all my shoe repairs here from now on.

INCREDIBLE WORK!! It's a tiny little hole in the wall spot, but wow they did such a good job!! I was only in town for a few months for work and used Yelp to find this place. 10/10 recommend. The stitching and sole on my Madewell leather boots I'd had for 8 years started to fall apart and now they're good as new. I even brought my other pair of boots to get cleaned up and restitched since the first pair were done SO WELL!! read more

AMAZING! So happy with the service provided here! Fast, reliable, and affordable! Fixed two pairs of my shoes and made them look brand new again! Couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! read more

Fast! Friendly! Affordable! This guy does great work! If you've got a pair of shoes that you aren't ready to toss, he can probably fix them.

I only go to these folks. They've replaced my boot heels a number of times for about $12/pair each time, and the footwear always comes back looking practically new. Nice mom and pop establishment worthy of supporting. read more

Had boots shined there. Pleased with how they look. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Would use this company again.
