I apparently then made the giant mistake of indicating I had found him on Yelp after an east side cobbler had closed at the end of Dec 2025. Out of sheer curiosity I asked him if he might be gluing them and how much it would run. He then put away the receipt pad and went on a (not-yelling) but diatribe about how I know everything and can do this repair myself. I was really dumbfounded (as was the guy behind me who simply shrugged). I assured the cobbler I had no clue what to do and would really like to have him fix these. He refused. I have no idea what part of my encounter set him off but, word-of-warning, don't say whatever I did I guess!

3 weeks ago, I walked into this shop looking to have my sneakers reattached to their soles. There…read morewas visible detachment on the sides and based on the conversation with the owner, the best course of action was to do a complete removal and attachment of the sole. It was inevitable and to reduce any liability on his part, I went ahead and detached the soles myself right in front of him. He told me it would take 10 days or so, but when I didn't hear back, I got worried. I decided to call and he had a bit of difficulty recalling the work order and told me 'I did the best I could do'. This isn't exactly confidence building. I arrived to pick up my sneakers and was in complete shock - and I mean complete, and utter shock. There was glue everywhere. The paint on the lower sole( nowhere near the points of attachment)was removed and sanded down which changed their appearance. The owner handed them to me stating he 'really had a hard time with these' and 'almost gave up'. Aside from the destruction, aesthetically, The fresh glue applied was already breaking down. I paid the owner and left quietly without asking any questions or causing a scene. I called the owner to tell him exactly how I felt - I was not looking for money; I was not looking for payback. I just wanted to understand how something like this could come from a skilled shoe repairman with years of experience. I was pretty hurt and I needed to have a conversation. The owner completely understood where I was coming from and I did get a sense he was genuinely sorry. I debated for days about whether or not to write a review because I realize how incredibly damaging they can be. On the other hand, I feel obligated to do this. I have a hard time believing something like what you're seeing could come from the hands of a professional, so it leads me to a few conclusions. The first is obvious and that is he did not know how to fix the problem, and realized half way it was not going well. He chose not to inform me, or at the very least, refer this project elsewhere. The other one is that the owner, over the years, has relied extensively on his reputation that by most accounts, is pretty respectable. I would bet the majority of his customers are regulars because they would back him, but his skills are compromised - Bigtime. He is a nice and kind man, but this doesn't change that fact my sneakers were completely destroyed and cannot be salvaged - I have since thrown them in the trash.

They did such great work and were so reasonably priced that I knew I was not going to have an easy time replacing them. So I researched through Yelp. (As a Yelper, it only made sense!) I decided on Stitch Wiz in the Berkshire Plaza at Broadway and Camino Seco. Finding the shop was a bit difficult, but part of that was operator error (mine). The shop's name was over a side area and I walked the whole length of it, not finding the shop. So I called and the owner came out to find me. How embarrassing - the store was right in front of my parking space! I brought in a dress that I loved the top half of. It has pleats and fancy stitching and I loved the cinched waist. What I wanted was to have the skirt (which was losing its hem anyway), to be cut off and hemmed a few inches below the waist. I picked it up today and it was perfect. I now have a gorgeous top with a peplum bottom. The price was fair and I am happy to have found my new alterations shop.
