That part required no finishing and is something I could have done myself. I expected proper hemming on both layers for the price, so this was really disappointing.

The TL;DR is I am going to come back to have my other boots resoled when needed…read more I really needed my red wings resoled and thought id give this cobbler a try. These boots are nearly 10 years old and I've only had Red Wing resole them for me before so these are like my first "baby" when it comes to my boots. The price was reasonable compared to other cobblers and the turnaround time was good. I dropped my boots off Tuesday morning and got them back Friday afternoon. They used a vibram christy sole which pretty much is the standard for a wedge sole. I didnt take a before picture but my boots have been sitting so they were pretty dusty and needed a cleaning and conditioning. I got them back and they look to be cleaned, at least wiped down. I was offered to have them conditioned for $5 but I have conditioner at home so figured id save the $5. They dont smell like they were conditioned but the boots were pretty dull looking when i brought them. The interaction with the cobblers was easy and straightforward.

Multiple times, over and over. Nothing. Maybe they're a front for the CIA or the cartels (or both?) or maybe they are just rolling in so much money that they don't want or need new customers. Whatever their excuse, I am so glad I learned about their lack of professional courtesy and general ineptitude now, rather than later. That's why they get a star from me. I dodged a bullet! I strongly advise you to avoid this outfit.

I travel all the way from Alameda to Oakland's Lakeshore district just to bring my shoes to…read moreIke's--and it's absolutely worth it. I've had three pairs of designer shoes repaired here, and each one was restored to perfection. The pricing is very reasonable: I paid $15 for a simple heel replacement and another $15 to have the cloth strap on my Valentino slides reglued. My Tory Burch sandals didn't survive a night of salsa dancing--the straps came completely off both shoes--but Ike's brought them back to life for $45, and they looked brand new! They have a clear policy of paying in advance for repairs, and they accept all forms of payment. There's plenty of street parking nearby, which makes dropping off and picking up easy. They also carry a wide selection of shoe accessories like inserts, laces, polish, and leather oils. The owner has been at Ike's for seven years and took over the business just last year. His craftsmanship is amazing--he truly has a gift for reviving worn shoes and giving them a second life. One less shoe in the landfill is a step in the right direction, in my opinion.

It strikes me that this must be a tough business. Customers walking in with shoes and boots and…read moreleather goods in every possible state of wear, from thrashed leather, worn soles and heels, broken stitches, and every degree of wear and tear you can imagine and they come in and ask these folks to give them a second life. They do a great job with whatever they're presented with and always try to give me an honest assessment of their ability to fix what I'm presenting them with. My latest experience involves my two pair of Tony Lama Monterey Desert round toe Ropers (which are THE BEST horseback riding boots), one I wear with spurs, one without. Well, they don't make these anymore (frustrating) and I'm trying to extend their life as long as I can. I wear them every day and they take a beating. I'm grateful that I have Ike's shoe repair to bring them to for a life extension. My latest refresh included new heels and soles, goat hide leather conditioning, and conditioning and cleaning of my spurs. They always do a great job and they gave me at least another year extension on my beloved boots. I highly recommend Ike's for tough restoration jobs (as well as everyday maintenance work). They're very skilled and dependable.
