Reviewers Camille and Alex are so far off the mark it's shocking they're able to tie their precious shoes at all! Unclear what kind of full service lah-dee-dah these comrades were expecting as this is a shoe repair place, and repair shoes they do! It appears Camille recently went on a trip to Argentina solely for the purpose of leaving a 3-star review for EVERY business in the entire country! Cheers! Alex on the other hand gave Saranghina a 1-star review which.... should basically speak for itself. Saranghina's shortfalls is a part of the appeal, baked into their entire business model, no? Overall very dissappointed with these two and will not be returning to their reviews again, unfortunate given their prolific nature :0( read more

lifesavers! I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and I brought in three of my favorite heels which needed new heel caps + some heel maintenance. The timing was tight I would've been happy if just one of them could be fixed in under a day, but the first two were done within 20 minutes! Picking up the last pair in the morning. And so reasonably priced. Will be coming back! read more

Same day turnaround to get this strap sewed back onto my leather bag. Only $25, super convenient and high quality. read more

I got my Dr Marten sandals resoled and they did a decent job but it was pricey - $100. I could have just purchased a new pair for this amount. I've gotten the same pair resoled for $50 at a cobbler in Ossining and very much preferred the king of sole they used there. Also, upon return, part of the strap was melted. Probably won't return. read more

I have been having my shoes and other goods repaired at Magic Joe's shop for at least 30 years; i no longer live in the neighborhood and still i wait to bring my goods to this shop. At Magic Joe's Shoe Repair on Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn NY. the quality and service are exceptional rated next to none. Sincerely, Greeneyez read more

Did a pretty good job in the bare minimum sense. Only was quite expensive for an easy job. Only i had a zipper replaced and the color did not match well at all. I recommend getting a quote from elsewhere, as the price wasn't good. But could be way worse though. read more

Magic Joe Shoe Repair - Zipper much more forest green - Shoe Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Found this place when I needed the leather strap on my LV crossbody fixed. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon and was greeted kindly, they took my bag and fixed it immediately. Took ~5 mins and cost $10. Incredible service! read more

Professional, excellent work on all items from my bag repairs, shoe repairs no one does it better!!!!! Absolutely recommend Magic joe shoe repair. read more

Brought in a pair of leather boots I found to be re-soled, Joe and crew did an amazing job. Super kind and accommodating and all around a great experience. read more

I needed a zipper on my suitcase fixed as well as some shoes stretched. I dropped off the suitcase and it was fixed by the time i walked back down from my appointment. The shoes i picked up a couple days later (they let you know the shoes should stretch overnight) I can't tell the difference so I'll probably go back down and see if they can help further. They were quite helpful and reliable and i would return with any other shoe,suitcase etc needs read more

Magic is right! Joe knows his stuff, and has magically repaired my shoes, bags, and even my leather jacket. The quality of his work is impressive and worth every penny. He's a gem! read more

Great work custom restoring worn out shoes & padding, and replacing designer belt buckle over a new leather look!

I spilled suntan oil at the bottom of a nice leather bag and they made it look brand new! Highly recommend.

I debated as to whether or not to post a review, particularly after reading all of the other mostly positive ones. But today, I was fairly upset over the lack of customer service with this store. I should preface this by saying that I love small, family owned businesses. And I went there specifically because they are in a neighborhood where gentrification is making it's fair sweep. The owners seem...nice. There. But after dropping off two pairs of shoes about two weeks ago (1 pair of boots & 1 pair of oxford lace ups), I returned today to pick up my order, only to find that they had not done what I asked to my oxford shoes (they neglected to fix a tear). Okay, so this was minor, because the man very graciously mended them for me in a matter of ten minutes. But what especially upset me was how they went ahead and added an additional sole to the bottoms of my boots....without my asking. I specially asked them NOT to do this once dropping them off two weeks prior; so color me surprised when I find my boots look completely different. The assurance I received from the owner was that I would have a longer wear time with the new soles..." you basically have a new pair of boots!" he tells me. And yet, my mind kept going back to the fact that I specifically asked them NOT to. To make matters worse, the owner attempted to give me a discount for the work that I did not ask for. So, basically I had to cough up an additional $20 for work that I did not ask for. This blows my mind because as a customer, I believe it is wrong. I went in with my ticket stub, having already put down my deposit - and to be told that I owe an additional $20 for a mistake that was not even mine. In the end, because I was suffering from a migraine and straight frustration, I paid $15 extra just to get my boots back and to get on with my day. I am not made of money - these days my middle name is budget, and it's what I live by. It doesn't matter WHAT business you are in, you must let the customer decide how much they'd like to spend on a particular service or item. To make that assumption for them is crossing the line (so is patronizing them into thinking that you are right). If, by chance it is out of their price range, please leave it in their hands to either accept your service...or walk away. Please always give them that option. I was extremely disappointed in the service (not the work). I wish they would've taken my request into consideration and realized that, even if the customer is not always right...they are entitled to get what they pay for. And nothing else unless discussed in advance. At the end of the day, seems like common sense. read more

I am glad I noticed this shoe repair shop while driving by. I'm even happier that I took my shoes there for repairs. Not only are the employees friendly but extremely knowledgeable and always on point with their suggestions. They have shortened the height of my shoes, stretched them, repaired them and have fair prices to boot. I dont hesitate to go there when I need repairs. I highly recommend them.. highly! read more

I'm embarrassed to admit just how I'd worn down the heals of my black over the knee-boots this year. The heals were on slant and they made an awful noise as I walked the street. If I saw me, I'd have talked about me. Thankfully, Yelp to the rescue with the previous reviews of MJSR. This convenient little shoe shop in the heart of Bed-Stuy is closed on Saturdays for the Jewish Sabbath and opened on Sundays (I particularly dig these hours of service as I am generally more compelled to run errands after a day of rest), The shop is small, the people are friendly and the owners seem to have a great rapport with the surrounding 'hood (the man manning the store greeted every regular patron by name). I had 4 pairs of boots that need repair. Heal replacements, taps, and shine - $90 (some of the heals were truly horrible, so I wasn't taken back by the price). My shoes were ready in three days and they did a pretty decent job, though if I'm being honest the repair job wasn't as good as I've had at some cobblers in midtown. Also, the work on the black soled boots was better than the work on the neutral soled boots - but he told me in advance that the colors wouldn't match perfectly. In a pinch, I'd drop my shoes to be shined again for sure, however, I probably wouldn't return for resoling because there are better alternatives near my j-o-b. But if you need an emergency repair...look no further than Magic Joe for quick and friendly service. read more

They always do a great job, I'm sure there were moments when they didn't give 100 percent but they make your old worn down shoes look brand new. I recommend this shop to any and everyone, I've brought friends from Staten Island.. The Bronx.. Queens..I live around the corner from this shop but I work in Long Island.. I've taken my Co Workers shoes to him and he's done a magnificent job. His craft is on point. No one's perfect but his work is great. Try Magic Joe's Shoe Repair. Many shoe shops say drop off and pick up another day.. not Joe's.. maybe only if he's really busy that might be the case but even in peak times he will try to get your shoes done while you wait. Make sure you see the owner! I only let the Owner do my shoes, I don't know the craft of the others in the shop. He's the Master Blaster! OHH AND BEFORE I FORGET!! **CASH ONLY*** He does not accept Credit Cards or Debit Cards! read more

A tiny shop just off the Franklin Avenue C-train stop, I dropped off a pair of new boots last week. After just one wear, the lining began to rip and Magic Joe assured me that they were able to fix them. Sure enough, I picked them up last night and they fixed the lining, better than they were originally. A little steep at $20 for the repair, but I'm just happy I'll be able to rock my hot boots again. Everyone was very nice. The place also seems to double as a shoe store/lotto sales. I guess so you can drop off your shoes and grab a quick pick while your at it? Soo Brooklyn! read more

See all

Stopped by here w my coworker to get her LV bag strap fixed after LV stating they refuse to fix it because its an "old seasoned" bag. U would think they treat their customers better being that they spend so much $$$ on their bags. Anyways, this place fixed the strap and when my coworker picked it up i couldnt even notice where the fix was! They did a superb and amazing job. They even advised her to prevent that from happening again to lighten her contents in the bag. I came back here to get holes punched in my belt. They did it immediately and price was so reasonable. I plan on bringin some shoes i have at home that needs to be cleaned and regular upkeep. Happy to have found them. Hope they stay!!! read more

I dropped of a pair of shoes for a half sole, heal, and polish. Let me say that this is the first time I have ever used a cobbler, and did not know what to expect. I got the shoes back and they did not look like they did when i dropped them off, and not in a good way. They glued about a quarter inch piece of leather to the bottom of each shoe. they look like cheep crap now. The polishing job was whatever, and on top of that there is cut on the side of one shoe that I could have sworn was not there when I dropped them off. maybe my expectations were too high, but I would say avoid. Again I have nothing to compare the work to. I will update the review once I have it done again somewhere else. read more

Had a cross body Ralph Lauren bag that needed a longer strap. Magic Joe replaced the strap with a longer leather strap that matched the color of the original leather strap. Love it! Discovered this business by accident. I am glad that I did. Got heels replaced and a good shine on my favorite comfortable leather boots. They look like new. I'm going back to drop off another pair of boots that will receive the "Magic Joe" treatment. read more

They did a great job on two pairs of boots with broken heel lifts. They even cleaned up the scuffed leather while they were at it.

Prompt, reliable and well priced. I've given them all sorts of shoes to repair or tailor, and mostly successful. Unless the shoes I bought were just not right for my foot Close to the train. They close by 6/7 I think on wkdays so a bit of hustle to get there from work. read more

Brought my beloved 5-year old sandals in to get resoled and they did a great job, a month later and they're in tip top shape. They also worked with me and were super amenable to my deal ;) THANKS! read more

Fixed a rip and zipper for my leather boots very nicely. A bit pricey but they were fast and did good quality work

Fantastic job. Prices up front. Shoes are renewed and I honestly don't even understand how. Ha! Wonderful job and I will be back.

I stopped to get a pair of shoes repaired by this place and was told it was $35 to lift the heel and make it even or $12 to shorten the heel a bit. There are gaps between the new heels and the shoe was still leaning to the side. He wanted to charge me $3 extra dollars for stick on taps that cost $.50 on Amazon. Also, the guy who did my shoe (I don't know if it was Mike himself but it probably is) had a very abrasive personality. In the future i will find someone else who will actually want and appreciate my business and who will do a good job. read more

Every time I go back the service is worse and worse. The the most recent visit was probably my last. The repair was pretty mediocre and extremely over priced, not to mentioned they couldn't find my shoes for about 15 minutes. When I dropped them off I asked if they would also polish the shoes to try freshen them up and was told "Of course!" When I picked them up they had clearly not been polished and when I asked about it the guy straight rolled his eyes at me. I wouldn't mind the increased price if the quality was better and they attempted to be friendly. I don't know what happened here, but I don't recommend it anymore. read more

The soles of my leather boots were almost totally worn down, so I decided to take them in to get re-soled at Magic Joe. First time here, but I live down the street and all of the good reviews convinced me to try it out. I was helped immediately after walking in the door, and told them what I wanted. The employee also suggested getting the tread on the front sole replaced, which I agreed to. They quoted me $45 for the total, which I thought was a little steep, but I got these boots for a great price and we're just entering the actual slippery, icy winter so I was willing to pay for good soles. I could have picked them up the next day, but I waited two days to go. I was again immediately helped when I walked in the door, and they brought my shoes up. The soles look WAY better than when they were new (especially the tread - these babies are gonna rock the icy NYC sidewalks this winter), and they had also polished up the leather boots. They looked great and I was happy to pay the $45. Quick and great service. They feel just as good as new as I've been wearing them today. Also, another bonus. Unlike many businesses around Bed Stuy/Clinton Hill, these guys open at 8am, so I was able to go drop off and pick up my boots before work. read more

I could put 10 stars! Moved to Brooklyn 1.5 years ago and have taken tons of shoes, boots, and my "Manhattan" friends' shoes too to Magic Joe's. Joe and his son Isaac are very nice, kind, and do a fabulous job! Super great work and good prices. I put soles on every new pair of shoes and very happy with result. Joe also fixed my bag, belt, anythingggg -- Highly recommend!! Thanks, Joe and Issac, you rock! read more

Magic Joe's used to be a great place to get your shoes revamped but I feel like he's been steadily slipping & I can't sacrifice another pair of shoes to him...not to mention that now that the neighborhood has 'changed', his prices have gone nuts! Sorry Joe...I must move on. read more

This place has been around for years and they totally live up to their great reputation within the community. The prices were fair,the work is top quality, and the staff is always polite and courteous! No complaints here!! I'm one of those people who are really "hard" on shoes, so suffice it to say my boots were in terrible shape. I still can't believe they fixed the heel I pretty much wore down to the ground and made it look new!!! I'm very happy and will continue patronizing their business, as well as tell everyone about them! Thanks again! read more

They're hours of operation are a scam. Not open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays!!! It's a joke, seriously!

I came in to get my shoes shined for a wedding. It only cost $5. They were quick and efficient and the shoes look great! I can't complain. read more

I don't leave a lot of Yelp reviews, but really admired the service at Magic Joe's today. I came in wearing shoes that had their soles coming off, and they were able to do a high quality repair while I waited. The pricing was very reasonable too. read more

Went here today expressly because of the reviews on Yelp (local options near me in PLG are NOT acceptable). What a find! $7 for new heel tips + $2 for toe taps. Done while I waited there in much less time than I'd expected. Nice people. Note: Closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays (closed this Wednesday for Yom Kippur). I never give 5 stars on the first visit, but if everything is just as good on my next visit, done deal! read more

Amazing job re-sole-ing and re-heeling my favorite leather boots. Way better than I was expecting since I'd worn them down so far that water was seeping in from damp sidewalks and the heels were ground to weird angles. Now they're like new - and they polished them all up for me too! read more

Magic Joe does what other shoe repair man say no one can do! And always, always a fair price!

I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. My boots have lasted an extra 6 years thanks to them. Their work is really good. Very affordable and excellent customer service. These folks are awesome! read more

**for females with slim legs whose tall boots are to big for calves/leg.** 1st pair- I have a pair of "right below the knee" boots. The boots are leather and the leg part stand upright without falling. My legs are slim and the boots didn't fit close to my legs like I would like them to. My calves measure 14" around and my ankle 8". The results are amazing. They fit perfectly. 2nd pair- These boots are over the knee and its doesn't stand upright. It's a softer fabric not like cloth but not stiff like the first pair. The same results, amazing. read more
