The best shoe shop in town: Where do you start with Perry's shoe shop. First of all the prices here cannot be beat, I have gone to hundreds of different shops, and I can tell you that when i shop in Boulder, this is the #1 spot.

Perry's Shoe Shop - Shoe Stores Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Boulder's loss is Nederland's gain. This little shop moved up here to Ned after a rent increase at their former location in Boulder, and I couldn't be happier with their skills, products, or services. It's hard to find a good cobbler, but this place is fantastic. The shop is small, but what they sell is quality and they have some killer sales. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Worth the drive and your time. read more

I love Perry's. I have a leg length differential so every time a buy a pair of shoes George adds a centimeter to the left one. He's probably done 30-40 shoes for me now and the quality has been excellent every time. read more

I went to pick up my boot on January 19th, 2011 after leaving it with the owner of the shop, George Perry, on December 10, 2011. I left it for a simple zipper replacement. When I went to pick them up, they could not find my boots, the ladies behind the counter were aggressively throwing shoes around trying to find my boot, raising their voices at me because I didn't have my ticket (which makes no sense at all because the ticket only has the dates and my name, which I gave them, and which, by the way, I do have in my possession), and saying that they "didn't have time for this". During this nightmarish customer experience, I asked the owner, George, what would happen if he could not find my boot. He said in front of store of customers and employees, that he would "replace" them if he could not find them. That evening he called me and told me that he thought he THREW THE BOOT AWAY. That he left it in a bag to dry out and that it must have gotten thrown out. He told me to buy the boots and that he would reimburse me. I have this recorded on a voicemail. I called him back the next day, January 20th, 2011, and told him that I could not afford to purchase them at this time and asked him if he could do it for me and have them shipped to me. He agreed. At no time during our discussions was price discussed. He offered to replace them. Period. These boots are only made in small quantities for the winter season and I was only able to find one place online that had them. They retail for $149 and were on sale for $119 plus tax, so I called him on Monday, January 24, 2011, and sent him the link to purchase. He told me that he was "busy" and could not get around to it until Wednesday. By Wednesday this online store had sold out, so I sent him another link on January 27th, 2011, to an online store that I found had the boots in stock for $149, retail price. I did not hear back from him. So I wrote him an email on January 28th, 2011, to please send me the receipt for the purchase so that I may have it for my records, to which he replied, "I was happy to replace your boots if the price was reasonable. I thought $120 was more then fair to compensate for your boots. The boots were not new, the zipper was broken so to ask us to replace your boots for $150 plus shipping is very unreasonable. We will be sending you a check for $120 to the address you listed below which, is more then fair considering how old the boots were and in the condition that they were in. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Perry's" So I called the owner, George Perry, following his email response, and informed him that he was now going back on his word of replacing my boots, a pair of boots that had been worn for snowfall only for a period of 3.5 months MAX. So now I, the *customer*, am being penalized for their mistake. His unprofessionalism and failure to take responsibility for his actions is truly appalling, and it's hard to believe that he would quibble over $30. How am I to *replace* a $149 boot with $120 due to his ineptitude???? As it stands, I am now contacting the Better Business Bureau to seek resolution, to which George Perry replied,"go ahead". So he has not replaced the boots nor has he given me the proper amount for me to replace them. CUSTOMER BEWARE. ****To the moderators, I have evidence of all of the above to support my claims.**** read more

This is still Boulder's best shoe repair! They moved to Nederland but they pick up and drop off at multiple locations around boulder, including the Art Cleaners right next door to their old location. If there's any extra instructions needed you can just give them a call. Super easy and same great service. read more

I brought my favorite pair of dress shoes here to be resoled before my wedding. The new sole looks excellent, and the craftsmanship and detail look good. I don't know how the price compares to other cobblers ($65 for new leather sole and heel piece), but it seemed reasonable to give my shoes a new life. Shoes were completed when promised. The staff seemed really busy and a bit short in conversation, so I didn't necessarily get a warm, welcoming feel. But for what I needed, they got the job done. read more

He charges ridiculous amount of money ($30 a pair of heel rubber replacement) and didn't even bother to shine my shoes. It took almost 2 weeks to get my shoes back and because he lives so far away I can't even argue the price/quality of the quality of the repair. I would never go back and will find someone local to do the job next time. read more

Great folks, Perry's has been a family run business for many years. Their prices are fair, and their quality is very good. They have breathed new life into many pairs of shoes and boots of mine over the years. Oh, and they do luggage repair as well. They are now at their new location at 1711 15th St. They are between Canyon and Arapahoe on the west side of 15th, across from the Animal Hospital, almost to Arapahoe. The new location has better parking than their previous location, and the store is larger with more retail space as well as a larger shop area. read more

Great shop. I've been coming here since college and they do exceptional work on just about anything I've brought them - shoes, belts, leather goods, etc... even stitching shoulder straps on some bags I own. They also carry a great selection of boots (Frye) and other great shoes. If you ever need to waterproof some specialty leather good or have a question, they're a great resource to ask before taking the plunge. They even fixed some classic Timberlands I owned for 20 years that got too close to a heat-source and shrunk! I thought they were goners but Perry's brought them back to life! read more

Terrible experiences. First I brought in a pair of shoes that needed the zipper replaced and rather than replace it they glued the problem spot and charged me the price of a new zipper! I decided to give them another chance and I brought in another pair of boots that needed a zipper replaced and they did a mediocre job, the zipper was unevenly stitched in and it was difficult to zip and unzip. When I brought the boots into another shoe repair store they informed me that Perry's did a lazy job in replacing the zipper. The only thing that Perry's does and okay job of is shining shoes but they are overpriced at best! read more

They have done work for us for years, always a fair price and good quality. They even properly repaired some XC ski boots. It is family owned and operated and multi-generational. Parking can be tight but this newer location is much easier than the previous ones. read more

I so hate to write this but I have had a nightmare of a time with perry's. Last October I sent my Frye boots to them for repair and it is the end of Dec and I still don't have my them. First they were lost in their shop and though they had called me ealier with a question, claimed not to have them. Then when they were found I purchased insurance to have them sent back and this was about a month ago. Still no boots, and despite numerous attempts to ask for help in tracking them, no response at all. I really wanted to believe in Perry's and wonder if my boots are gone for good. read more

Not a fan. I went here because I thought my old shoe repair was gone & the reviews here weren't too bad. Mistake. Go to the shoe repair off Arapahoe & 28th: they took beat up boots of mine & had them looking brand new. I took a pair of old sandals here to get scuffs repaired. The counter woman asked the unhappy man (owner?) how much for the repair & he said $17. I paid $17 in cash, got a pick-up tab, and was told to come back in a "week from tomorrow." I was thinking the entire time, "This is odd to pay when dropping off..." I didn't follow my gut, nor did I get a formal receipt: another mistake. I failed to look at the pick-up tab and drove back 8 days later, thinking the entire time that I didn't get a receipt and I bet I caused myself big problems. The man said he had tomorrow down on the tab. Sure enough: the tab said the following day. I told him I don't live in the area and asked if I could come back in a week or so and he shortly responded, "Sure, but they'll be ready tomorrow." My boyfriend offered to pick the sandals up 3 days later. He went in and the man said they weren't ready because I said I'd be back next week. Then he said he'd stay late to fix them, so come back in 15 minutes. I warned my boyfriend about the payment and, as feared, the man said that he hadn't calculated the price yet, so of course I had not paid. My boyfriend said the woman I had paid initially was not there. And the price was: an unsurprising $17 AGAIN. The final product had the white scuffs covered, as they said would be done, but the nicks and dings were still present. Also, because of the fast work, the man left behind stain on the jewels that were present, instead of just on the shoe. When I first went in I had asked him if he could make a strap on one shoe, that I had reattached with tread, look better. He said he'd just do the same thing I had done, so I didn't even bother to get that done and instead came home and super-glued it. In summary, $34 later, my sandals are slightly improved, but I am much frustrated. I wish I had just bought $2 stain, saved some gas, and done the job myself. In the man's defense, my problems were probably all due to his female desk clerk & not to him. Still: a drag. read more

Had some custom work done at the shop and the owner was very dishonest in pricing as we had plenty of conversations about the boots custom changes to allow him to give me updated quotes and the day we go in to pay he raises the price an additional amount. The other fine point is that he videos everyone that comes into the store with a camera on a tripod (thought that was illegal but might not be). I had these boots I wanted to see how he did as I have about five other projects that I needed done and the work was just so so. Going to be taking my business back east with me as I would actually get what I pay for. read more

This place is awesome. I came here a little over a month ago with an absurd request, and Perry's fulfilled my request beyond my expectations! I came to Boulder for a wedding and only had 1 pair of shoes that matched my dress, but they were in need of repair. I brought them on my trip hoping to visit a cobbler. We didn't have a car (or much time), so I ended up walking to the cobbler the day before the wedding. By the time I got there it was ~2 hours before close, and we had to leave very early in the morning for the wedding. I had no expectations that they would be able to repair my shoes in less than 2 hours -- turns out I was wrong! They ended up repairing my original request (new rubber on the heel) AND fixing the soles of the shoes -- which they pointed out when I arrived but I didn't think would be possible in time -- AND gave them a quick shine-- all in less than 2 hours and for less than $50!! They looked like new shoes! The shoes are Frye, and if you know Frye shoes they are well worth the investment to keep in shape... Highly recommend and can't thank them enough for saving me from having to wear broken shoes at a wedding, where we were standing and dancing all day and night! Thank you! read more

I got a pair cross-country boots mended here, and they did a really nice job. (Banged down a metal bracket, and replaced a metal ring that had fallen off.) Affordable, too! The only complaint is that one of the times I went into the shop, it reeked of shoe cleaning product or shoe shine. I nearly vomited from the odor. read more

Love this place. I have always had great experiences with everything that I have brought here to have fixed and have been very satisfied with the prices I have paid. Very reasonable! I bought a pair of Frye boots recently and they were 20% cheaper than everywhere else I had been shopping for them. Definitely the place to go! read more

I brought my beloved boots to Perry's when the side zipper simply stopped zipping. They quoted me somewhere in the $40 range to have a new zipper put in and stick up some of the teeth on the other half of the pair. I came back a week later to find my total bill was under $20! They were able to salvage the original zipper and save me 20 bucks. A year later the zipper is still working great, I have never had any other quote from anywhere be reduced by 50% and I have brought many other shoes to Perry's, always with stellar results. I'm a lifer at Perry's. read more

Brought in roller blades, which is bizarre in itself, that were pretty old and giving me retrocalcaneal bursitis. This store fixed my skates using a shoe press and got them back to me promptly. The store employees and manager/owner were extremely professional. My skates aren't hurting me anymore and the extra space they gave me the heel was exactly what I needed. Thank you guys. Highly recommend this place. read more

They restored my green Doc martens which are 12 years old. They were so inexpensive and friendly and helpful- I'm never going anywhere else for shoe painting/repair read more

I had 4 pairs of boots and 2 pairs of shoes repaired here. Some needed new soles to protect them from the elements, some needed the heels rebuilt, and some needed to be dyed, buffed, and sewn. I even took a belt here to get resewn where it had begun to unravel. The job they did was perfect and all for less than the cost of buying a new pair. Worth every penny. I have at least 2 more seasons for each of my gorgeous boots. read more

Solid work. I had them re-sole my Birkenstock (yeah, it's Boulder) and they did a very good job. The customer service could be better, but it wasn't terrible. I like the old-fashioned feel of this business. I would use them again - in face, I just dropped off a pair of boots to be re-soled the other day. I would recommend these guys. read more

Great service. I've been taking my hiking and mountaineering boots here for four years. Four soles on the hiking boots two on my mountaineering boots. I'm a tree climber, hiker, mountaineer and I beat up my footwear. I look for leather boots with good rands. Perry's has resoled, fixed stitching, repaired rands, and even replaced rands on my boots. I drive from Denver for their services once to twice a year. They do offer mail service. One last thing they are recommended by La Sportiva the boot company. read more

Family owned since 1922! I have been coming to this shop for 30 years. They have restored several pairs of shoes and cleaned up even more. Shoes worth wearing are worth repairing! Support a local small business and bring your shoes here. They also sell high quality boots and some active wear, so check out their selection in store. read more

Really the best. The customer service is great. They are really honest about what they can do. I have gotten everything from suede cleaning, resole -ing, scuff repair, boot stretching. ETC. Really love this place. read more

They fixed my cowboy boots 10 years ago. They kept me from doing unnecessary repairs on hiking boots 5 years ago. So, I trust them and just bought a new pair of boots, now that they moved up to Ned. read more

They repaired my leather jacket, belt and wallet! I highly suggest using them! Awesome staff and service!

Perrys is great! They always try to fix my shoes in the simplest and least expensive way possible, and always get it right. He nearly completely remade a pair of beloved boots I couldn't replace. Also, it's always a treat to go in- they're right by the farmers' market and have the same local goodness vibe. read more

I've actually never written a Yelp review, but I had such a horrible experience here that I wanted to save someone else the hassle. I brought in beautiful sandals for repair. When I went to retrieve them, the job was poorly done. I pointed out that leather was hanging off the sole and asked for them to be properly fixed. Returning to the store a second time, again, the repair was shoddy, the leather unglued, and the manager hostile --- demanding (overpriced!) payment for unwearable shoes I must now bring elsewhere to be cared for. I'm surprised that in a small town like Boulder, shops like this can stay open. read more

I like supporting the local businesses, but these guys tend to lose shoes every once in a while, and can be kind of short with you in conversation. I called several times upon the pick up date and was told they couldn't find my shoes, didn't know what they had done/were supposed to do to them, and seemed annoyed that I wanted to know if they were ready. I suppose they do a good job, but in my opinion small businesses need to be extra competitive if they want to stay open in Boulder, and that means keeping a tight ship and being friendly to customers. This is the third time I have had my boots repaired here, but I will probably end up going somewhere else next time. Tried to give 'em a chance! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I brought them a brand new pair of yellow shoes - worn once and they ruined them. I get them back sprinkled with stains - and the leather flower on the front covered in brown stain. They refused to take any responsibility and had the gall to say "I don't know what to say". How about sorry, let me see what we can do.Seriously the worst customer service experience I have had in years. This is a terrible store. read more

I went because they had good prices for birkenstocks repair (yeah, I know) and they had a reasonable turnaround time. Would go again.

Faithfully at the end of every winter, I take my Frye boots to Perry's, which I bought there, for new heels (I wear them a lot), a cleaning, and a polish and have done so for years. I also bring my husband's shoes there and my Birkenstocks. Never have I paid for anything upfront and often leave with a product to be paid for when I return to get my shoes or boots. Their work is good and has prolonged the life of all my shoes! I followed them from their Walnut location and will continue to patronize this superior local business. read more

They probably do good work because they came highly recommended BUT a month is a bit ridiculous to wait for a pair of boots to be resoled. Also $65 is a bit pricey. I guess when you have a good reputation, you just don't care anymore. At least that's how they came across. read more

I've brought in many pairs of boots and shoes (as well as a jacket and vest) to Perry's and always had a great turnout. My boots have lasted years longer with their help! They are reliable and friendly, and prices are reasonable. Glad we have them in town! read more

I have one leg that is 14mm longer than the other. Perry's built lifts onto all of my shoes and I am amazed at the difference it has made in my posture. They did a beautiful job of matching the soles and the edges of the shoes. I am very picky and was worried that it would be obvious or ugly. My worries were for nothing because the shoes all look great! Thank you Perry's, the lifts have even helped my back pain!!!! read more

Perry's Shoe Shop is the only place I will go to for any leather repair. They are the only place I trust to handle my favorite leather boots because they always maintain the integrity of the original shoe (no matter how scuffed up they get). They are super friendly and knowledgeable. I know that when I give them my favorite vintage purse to work on, they won't make it look different, just better. They really know what they are doing there and I trust them completely! read more
