This shop is a treasure. Miguel Herrera does the repairs, and his work is top grade. Miguel explains what is really necessary, and he does not push unnecessary work. Miguel's rates are reasonable. And, he stands behind his work, to a remarkable extent. I needed replacement soles for my boots. Actually, I really only needed to replace the heels, and Miguel made that clear; however, since the entire sole would need replacement in a few years, I asked for replacement of the entire sole. That was my idea; Miguel did not push it. Rates: At first, I thought his rates were high: $110 to replace and repair the soles. However, I later did some research. Miguel used a Bentley-grade Vibram sole, which sells for over $50. And, I needed more than that, because I had waited too long, and the midsole needed to be rebuilt. With parts and labor, $110 is a bargain. Standing behind his work: The Bentley soles added significant weight to the boots. Miguel said that if I was uncomfortable with the weight, he would replace the soles...for no additional cost...with something lighter, something more like what I had had before. Well, the boots ARE heavier, but I'm getting used to that. If I were to ask for a replacement, he would lose the $50+ he spent on the soles. For him to go that far in order to ensure customer satisfaction is, I think, remarkable. Miguel is also a really nice guy. So, no matter how far you live from Lafayette, this is where you should bring your shoes. I live about 40 minutes away, and I do not regret the drive [although I did manage to do this on a day when I had to be in Walnut Creek anyway]. Five stars, a galaxy of stars. read more

Took in my Birkenstocks because I sat too close to a bonefire and they melted! They made them look brand new. Dropped them off on a Saturday & they were done by Tuesday. They called me to let me know they were done. They were also done with official Birkenstocks bottom. They even polished and conditioned the leather and repaired some cork. Half price compared to getting a new pair. read more

Best shoe repair that I have found! Repairs are well done, prices are reasonable, and turnaround is quick.

I was considering bringing in a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas to have them resoled with Vibram soles rather than the standard Birkenstock EVA soles. Before calling, I read through the reviews here, including a recent rave review specifically about a Birkenstock sole replacement. I also noticed several reviews mentioning rude customer service, so I made a point of being friendly and simply asking whether they could do what I was looking for and what the approximate price range might be. The woman who initially answered was polite but wasn't familiar with what I was asking about, so she put Miguel on the phone. I asked Miguel whether he could replace the soles with Vibram Woodstock soles rather than Birkenstock soles. He said he wasn't familiar with the Vibram sole I was referring to and told me I should "go on the internet and research" getting my Birkenstock soles replaced. I explained that I actually had researched it, which was why I was calling. I had seen Vibram Woodstock soles recommended as an alternative and wanted to find out whether this shop could do it. He told me he had around 10 different types of Vibram soles, but when I tried to ask whether any of those might be comparable or appropriate for Birkenstocks, I couldn't get an answer. I then asked if he could at least give me a general price range for resoling the shoes so I would have some idea of the cost. Again, I couldn't get an answer. He just kept saying "OK" and then hung up on me. I completely understand if a shop doesn't carry a particular sole or doesn't offer the service I was asking about. A simple "We don't carry that, but you're welcome to bring the shoes in and we can show you the options we have" would have been perfectly reasonable. What I don't understand is treating a potential customer this dismissively for politely asking about a service and pricing. Unfortunately, the reviews mentioning rudeness seem consistent with the experience I had. I won't be bringing my shoes here. read more

My usual cobbler recently retired, so I was hesitant to try a new place. A close friend had two pairs of boots repaired here recently, which convinced me to give this place a shot. I brought in my own soles to replace the old, worn-out ones on my Guidis and had a great experience. Miguel seemed super knowledgeable and initially recommended stitching the soles, which I agreed to at first. After doing a bit more research, I called back after I had already dropped the boots off and asked if we could keep the soles cemented instead to preserve the original Guidi construction. He was completely understanding and accommodated the change without any issue. Turnaround was fast! I got my boots back within just a few days. I also asked them not to buff out the heel, and they followed my instructions exactly, which I really appreciated. read more

Cannot recommend this business enough. My parents recommended it to me so I took my dress shoes that needed to be re-glued here. They called the next day after drop off and said they are ready! Cannot believe how amazing they look for being 19 years old! They even replaced the laces for me, all for $35. Will be bringing everything I have here from now on! Service is incredible! read more

I love having a local show repair in town because they have been my go-to for repairs beyond shoes. I've had handbag zippers done, my jacket zipper unstuck and I bought a pair of Spenco flip flops for the hubby. They are timely and just practical. Please support this local business read more

Pleasant, skillful, quality craftsman. Knowledgeable with great advice on leather goods.

This place did quality work on my heel tip replacements. The owner was pleasant and there was no fuss. You have to pay when you drop off your shoes, which I was a little leery about. The work was done nicely. Two pairs of heels needed new heel tips. $40 for 2 pairs was high in my opinion, but I got the shoes back quickly, and like I said, the work was done nicely. read more

I came it to get my grandma's old army boots fixed and was successful! He helped me get the right equipment to keep the boots hydrated and healthy instead of having me do a one time service. Thank you! read more

So glad I stopped her to get my favorite leather sandals the TLC they deserve. They had them done in 2 days and my sandals look refreshed and much cleaner. I also had some of the stitching repaired and the heel redone, both were done very well and I'm so excited to wear them out again without looking dingy. I'll definitely return with my other leather goods and shoe repairs. read more

They repaired two pairs of boots. Did a great job. Ready when promised. I'll go back again!

Needed the sole of my sneaker glued up, and the proprietor politely declined the work and tactfully explained the mechanical reasons that the repair I requested wouldn't hold up. Not what I wanted to hear, but they did right by me, and I'll be back next time I need a repair. Many thanks. read more

the guy was rude and antagonistic so I left with my shoes and will get them repaired elsewhere.

Super nice guy, did a great job on my shoes, reasonable prices. Over all I'm very happy.

excellent shoe repair, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. he rebuilt the souls on my dance go shoes as well as Cleaning and sewing them without extra charge. The shoes were ready earlier than expected. Thank you! read more

Having recently retired, I wanted to put my several pairs of office dress shoes away in my closet looking good. I was surprised when the bill for what I thought would be a simple shine was $20/pair. Nordstrom charges $7. But I paid -in advance, as required- and hoped that the finished product would justify the high cost. I picked up my shoes today because they were done sooner than I had been promised. Honestly, they are all just beautiful, as if new. One pair that had been looking particularly sad looks remarkably fresh and alive. This store is the classic example of "you get what you pay for." I'll never take my shoes anywhere else. Highly recommended. read more

I've had 6 pairs of shoes repaired so far in 2025. Their work is always excellent. Always friendly + helpful in advising whether a repair will really solve the problem, be long-lasting, etc. When picking up shoes recently I took a pair of boots for an opinion, as another local shoe repair shop said there was nothing they could do. The kind folks at One-Stop explained how I could take care of the problem myself and keep wearing the boots for years to come. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Again One-Stop delivered! My husband Miguel took a pair of 40+ years old Bally shoes to see what Miguel (at One-Stop Shoe Care) could do. Favorites of my husband's and they fit like gloves. He just wanted to see if they could be "salvaged." Miguel, always up for a challenge made suggestions, and then the magic happens. When we picked them up my husband couldn't tell which one Miguel had fixed; they were so expertly repaired, and polished too! Just like new! Truly, where artistry meets skill. A side note: one sole was quite worn and Miguel suggested a re-sole. They discussed and thought that as the shoes were not worn frequently anymore a re-sole expense was not necessary. A beautiful job and the $15.00 dollar price was money well spent-unbelievable! I also must add we drive from Mare Island to take our shoe repairs to One-Stop. read more

Soles on my boots were dying and One-Stop did a great job with a full replacement. They also replaced/fixed the eyelets that had issues and the boots came out looking close to new. Happy with the results and will return the next time I need my shoes fixed up. read more

(Refused service and didnt want any business from me.) I don't often write reviews, but I'm hoping I can save someone else some time. I brought in a pair of brogan-style leather boots for a polish. These shoes are about 10 years old, and they started out as a grey color with a hint of brown. The last person I took them to did a good job the first time, but the second time he polished them, they came out with an olive green or chartreuse tint. I would prefer to maintain the original color, so I wanted to try having them polished with a grey polish, or at least clean them up to undo the yellow-green tint. I arrived to One-Stop and explained my situation, but they refused to do anything to my shoes. At first, the gentleman said he could use whatever polish I wanted but he couldn't die the shoes and didn't want me to be unhappy with the outcome. I said that was fine, and that I wasn't expecting the color to be perfect, but I wanted them cleaned and to have them polished with a grey polish instead of green. (You can still see sections of the shoe where the original color is intact and obviously something was done to them to change the color at the previous cobbler.) However, he changed his tune and said that my best bet would be to contact the manufacturer to get the color and original polish. If I brought that back to him, he could polish them for me. He also pointed out that the sole has some sections requiring repair, but he didn't offer to do that for me either. Since he doesn't want to do a polish or repair, I shifted gears and I told him that I couldn't find laces to replace the original waxy ones, but he said I could wax them myself or replace them. I said I had tried to find them online before, but I couldn't identify what kind they were. He said they looked like regular round cotton dress shoe laces that had been waxed by the manufacturer. If I wanted the same kind, I would have to measure the diameter myself.....He had a wall of laces, so he could have shown me which ones to buy or at least measured them for me since I was already here... It wasn't closing time, and we were both polite from beginning to end....It was bizarre to that he didn't want to provide any services to me or even sell me new laces. Well...he got what he wanted. I won't be back. read more

Great service. My shoes looked brand new! Would definitely go back again. My shoes were before the day they were supposed to be.

This place is great! I would give them 10 stars if I could. I had an unusual request - to attach some tracking devices to my dogs collars. They were very friendly and got the job done perfectly and very quickly for a very reasonable price. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Miguel and his wife Rosalita are simply the best! On an extremely hot day last week, I biked in to get my leather flats cleaned/polished and fitted with some new insoles. As I was at the counter paying, I passed out due to heatstroke and Rosalita caught me from falling on the ground! They sat me in a chair, gave me some water and a banana, and made sure I was okay. After a few minutes of rest, I was able to call for a ride back home. Came back two days later to pick up my shoes to find them good as new. Bought some lotions and polishes to use at home and Miguel explained what I needed to do to maintain my shoes/sandals. Excellent service from wonderful people. Truly One-Stop Shoe Repair! read more

I haven't written a review in a long time but I am compelled to write one today because I want to let others know how awesome One-Stop Shoe Care is! I have been a customer for multiple services and the most recent was me bringing in two pairs of shoes and my sister's leather purse that had oil stains on it. I was skeptical that fixes could be made to a couple of the items because they just seemed too far gone, however, Miguel expertly consulted with me on each item and made recommendations giving me various options and sharing what the costs were. I just picked up the items yesterday and I am beyond blown away! My sister is so happy with her purse, my sandals which were cutting into my upper foot are super smooth, and my platform wedges have grips on the bottom so no slipping and sliding any longer! The service and quality Miguel provides is consistent and super pro! Many, many thanks and much appreciation, Miguel!! read more

I just had my softball glove relaced by these guys. I could not be happier. And a quick turnaround.

I was looking for a local cobbler to resole my Redwing boots. They are ten years old and the soles were really worn. I couldn't believe, the boots came back looking like new! GREAT work - thank you. read more

Thank you Yelpers! Excellent choice! I took favorite/older 2 Boots and 2 ladies shoes for help: resoled and repaired with wonderful results. Family business with talent for customer communication. Paid forward, clear on cost and repair choices. They listened carefully to what I wanted. Even fixed the stains on my red boots. Highly recommend! (across street from Trader Joe's) read more

They fixed several shoes and repaired a leather case that I was sentimental for. Quality work and honest staff. I highly recommend them.

Stopped in to have a leather belt shortened. They are professional, timely and excellent craftspeople. The price was very reasonable. I feel Lafayette has a gem in this old-world leather repair shop. They seem to do so much more than shoes - handbags, letterman jackets, patches on jerseys etc. read more

Brought my heels here for my cousin wedding. The heels too high for me to stand comfortably in them. He cut the heel in less than 15 min for $25. Now o can walk & stand in them comfortably and they look great on my feet. Thank you for your awesome service. I will definitely recommend. read more

He was terrible and refused to provided a statement or bill showing the breakdown of the repair to the shoes. He screamed get out of my store. He wants to be paid upfront before he repairs the shoes. Then gets mad if one is not satisfied with the shoe repair. Will NEVER send my family or daughter there again read more

Miguel and Violeta have consistently done a wonderful job repairing several pairs of shoes, particularly my 4-year-old Cole Haan boots that I've worn to death. I've gotten zippers, heels, and soles replaced, and leather spiffed up. I even went to One-Stop Shoe Care to get my brother's vintage cowboy boots resoled. It's definitely worth the drive from Oakland. read more
