The shop has been around for decades! Old school shop with great service, quality repairs at reasonable prices. Remember cash only:-)

Been going to this business since the 70s with my mom. They do an excellent job on all repairs. They do more than shoe repair, purses, bags, backpack, leather work, and hockey pad are some of the recent repairs they have done for me. read more

If I was going to make a film with a modern rustic cobbler shop setting, I'd use this dusty old place. A loose "15$ - PAID " scrawled by cracked and calloused hands caked in dust and boot polish, on the tag, string looped through my boot zipper pull, marks the cash advance forwarded Shops like this, run and fronted by the hardworking hands that manage the workload, provide a welcome sanctuary from the shallow standard of bubbly sweetness at the cash counter that most businesses are now pushing to provide. It's not that I don't appreciate pleasant attitudes - they win over rude and cool attitudes any day, But the authenticity of workmanship is what's important to me, And there's something raw and real about handing your shoes over to the guy who is actually going to fix them and knowing he knows what you want even if he hasn't said two words. I'll be coming back for more shoe repairs as I need them, And encourage anyone else to do the same. Good prices, tasks effectively managed, And by the way they also cut keys. read more

I took a very expensive, never-been-worn, pair of Made in Italy shoes (retail approximately $350)) to this shop to have the bunion area stretched. When I came to pick them up, the area was so stretched that the shoes were very loose on my feet. As well, the "stretcher" left big black marks on the inside of these shoes. When I pointed out these issues to him, he replied that he had no control over the stretcher. Honestly, I think he does, but couldn't be bothered to do a good job. Then I realized that where the guy had stretched the shoes out, the top part of the shoe had separated from the sole. When I pointed this out to him, he offered no apology or any other form of courtesy. He silently took the shoes back and gave me another receipt and said to come back tomorrow. He damaged my shoes and was rude and sullen. He never once pointed out any risk involved in stretching out the bunion area. I will probably throw away this beautiful pair of shoes, thanks to his lousy attitude, but I will give him a severe chastisement first when I pick them up tomorrow. read more

I just got my boots resoled here and they did a great job. The price was very reasonable, the boots were done when he said they would be and the new sole looks perfect! I love to find places like this - small and independently operated and they obviously take pride in their workmanship. We should all support small businesses like this one. I highly recommend it. Just so you are prepared, he accepts cash only. read more

Paid $15 to have my Nike's glued. Walked out with barefeet [because I'm an idiot and forgot to bring an extra pair]. I had to wait 3 days but the quality was great and I was impressed he took the time to paint the worn areas to make the shoes look way better. read more

Bait and Switch warning. I took a pair of boots to be resoled. The guy behind the till said it would be 90 dollars after he asked what i paid for the boots. Don't know why that is relevant. A couple days later the shop calls me and the guy on the phone claims to be the owner says the sole he has wont work so he has to order a different one. But he goes on to tell me that the guy I dealt with (his friend as he called him) Gave me the wrong price and should have been $130. I said no way and he agreed to honour the original price. When I picked up the boots the owner gave me the sob story about undercharging me and he wanted more money. Told me he wanted $100 now. All I had was the 50 I owed him and another 5. So i told him that was all I had. Basically he extorted me for more than the agreed price. Do not fall for this trick like I did. You have been warned. read more

Crusty service seems to be the norm with these places these days. It's a shame because a little customer service training goes a long way. In the end, that was the least of my problems. I left with a job that was done in a way to make the shoes dangerous and unwearable. When I politely requested that the job be done properly I was told that it takes too much time and effort. I met with was stubborn resistance to do anything except undo the poor workmanship. I was treated dismissively, as if my concerns were not important, and that any remedy was out of the question. I was very disappointed and I won't be back. read more

I bought my wedding shoes a couple of weeks ago and needed rubber soles put on the bottom so that they were non-slip. My usual shoe repair guy in Guildford had recently started getting really expensive and since I worked in North Vancouver, I decided to try this place out. I made sure to tell him to please be extra careful they were brand new shoes that were for my wedding in August and had never been worn. Fast forward a week to when I pick my shoes up. There was yellow glue all over my white shoes, and the leather was scuffed off and peeling along the lower part of the shoe all along the bottom. I was shocked and asked him about it, and he then took them into the back to try to scuff the "peeling" off I'm guessing? He had told me initially he wanted $27 for them and I told him I was not paying him. He then took my shoes off the counter and held onto them. Then I took my VISA out and said I would pay him with that because I needed my shoes back but he said he only took cash. He put the shoes back on the counter and then I picked them up. I said I am not paying him for his services, and he then got hostile and stood in front of the DOOR and told me I could not leave. I had left my phone in my car and couldn't even call 911 so I said I would pay him $10 cash. He then walked into the back ignoring me. I kept calling out saying "hello! don't you want money?" but he kept ignoring me. So I told him I was going to walk out to my car to get my phone so I could record this and I did. When I came back I explained what was happening again on tape, and he kept ignoring me and walked into the back again. After calling out a few more times I said I was leaving and right before I walked out, he yelled go to hell. Besides complaining about his services, I'm also complaining about how hostile and threatening he can be. He didn't even say a simple sorry to me or take any responsibility for what happened and acted like he could care less. Super poor service so I would not recommend him to anyone. Do not go here!!! read more
