Bad work and, even worse, they don't care. I brought them a pair of Gucci Jordaan loafers to be shined. They talked me into new heels and half soles. I paid $95. I returned a week later for pick up and he said they weren't really finished. More importantly, the color had been changed from dark brown to yellowish. Very strange. He told me my shoes were never brown! He was not apologetic. He made no offers to fix it. He just blamed me for not knowing what color shoes I had. Will never go there again. read more

I called around 4-5 different shoe repair shops to get my boss's boots fixed. The zipper on the right boot was not pulling up or down. Most of the places quoted me up to a week to get fixed! When I called premium cobbler, they didn't answer my call but WALTER was nice enough to give me a call back and apologized for missing my call. He said to bring in the boots and he would get it fixed asappp. He was scavenging for an identical zipper and was able to get it fixed and picked up in less than 3 hours. THANK YOU WALTER! read more

First time customer but I am super happy with the results that I'm getting. Have a pair of non brand heels, not the best quality but one of a kind. The bottom of the shoes came off during a walk on the grass (not the smartest thing to do I know), and they almost looked hopeless. However, a quick yelp search led me to Premium Cobbler, and they were first not certain if they could fix it, but still tried their best anyways. Now my shoes are functional again. Thank you so much. read more

Premium Cobbler - As new - Shoe Repair Near Me - New York, New York

Walter is a saint!!! I had this vintage Chanel Jumbo flap that's definitely seen better days. I had been meaning to send it off to get it repaired but finally got the chance to do it earlier this month. I got a quick quote from Walter and brought my purse into the store during a lunch break. Was quoted $190 for extensive repairs. He repaired all 4 corners (repiped and painted) and secured the CC hardware. Walter asked for a few extra days to get the product finished and I was in no rush. Was able to pick up my beauty soon after. The pics speak for themselves!! Thanks Walter! read more

I am shocked! I've had my Louboutins for years and I thought they were at the end of their road. Walter worked magic and they are just like new. He even picked up and dropped off because, well, I really didn't want to trek around in the NYC snow. Highly recommend. read more

Wow- the best shoe repair in the city! I had a pair of boots from Italy that kept slipping off my heel. He fashioned a buckle and strap which was incredibly brilliant and now I can wear them without a problem. I also had a pair of suede shoes that needed to be cleaned and re- heeled. They look new! reasonable prices plus he is super nice. read more

In 2023, Dear Eduard & Papa Rubin, I'm blown away by the personal and the professional service from dear Eduard & papa Rubin at Cobbler Express on 60 E 42st street yet again. I came down from Boston in 2019 for the first time to get my purse from Paris treated (see the photos below). Then, re-visited them for my Bally purse this time and the same amazing and sincere services happened (see the new photos inserted). I did not know that the whole family was famous for their shoe business back in Russia. Anyhow, no matter what, such people and services still do exist here at Cobble Express and God bless their business and the family to provide dear services for me to enjoy rich life- knowing them in life is one rich aspect and my nostalgic pieces (bags & shoes, etc) get restored safely is another. Thanks to Eduard and papa Rubin for good old times sake encounter at your new store. Happy New Year! Truly yours, ariel In 2019, Dear Eduard, Thank you for all your precious time and the effort to fix my the most personable and full of memory purse! You really treated my purse as if it was yours! My my, it was indeed well worth coming down from Boston and the service was truly beyond and above. If I were selfish I would keep this as a secret but the world needs to know a surreal person like you exist in NY...Once again, thanks a million! Thx Papa and two other assistants as well, can't say thank you enough~ Sincerely, ariel ps. if any of you out there looking for an amazing shoes/purse services, please look for further~ :) read more

When the sole of my favorite Doc Martens finally cracked, I was dismayed. I know a lot of cobblers won't even resole docs. Luckily, I found Premium Cobbler. Walter did an impeccable job putting on a new half sole and heel sole. They look brand new! He even buffed out some of the scratches and scuffs. Not only was the quality of craftsman ship above & beyond, the price was also super fair & Walter finished the resole + regluing another pair with the fastest turnaround time I've ever had with a cobbler in the city. Really happy to have found my new go-to spot for shoe repair! read more

This place does amazing zipper replacement. read more

A friend recommended premium cobbler and had my Louboutins dropped off pre quarantine. I was able to pick them up today and they did an AMAZING job at a very reasonable price. I don't have any prior photos but my shoes were pretty destroyed. They look amazing now. Will be using them for all my high end shoe repairs. My shoes were about 4 years old (in Christian louboutin time is AGES. ) read more

Premium Cobbler - Leather repair - Shoe Repair Near Me - New York, New York

This is my second time visiting this location. The first time I got my Louis Vuitton bag repaired and he did a phenomenal job. He must do awesome work if I traveled from Queens to New York City to get my shoes repaired. Based on the work that he did with my bag I was willing to travel 40 minutes to make sure that my boots that I love so much were in good hands. When I brought the shoes to him he suggested to change the bottom from a gummy sole because of the debris it picks up while walking. Reluctantly I took his advice and changed the sole and I am thoroughly pleased. He has definitely gained a lifelong customer. Good good work. See my pictures. read more

I had a pair of Christian Louboutin high heel boots whose heel I broke in Paris (apparently French women don't wear heels on cobblestone streets ;). Also I had a preloved Chanel bag whose bottom edges were showing a bit of wear. I was really worried about finding someone to trust my luxury goods with in NYC. I normally take them to LA for repair. Walter did a fantastic job on both. I was hesitant to let him paint the bag (and not just the edges) but the color was a really good match and the Chanel tote looks awesome. read more

Needed to re sole my heels. Excellent job and fast turnaround. Definitely recommend for anyone needing shoe services.

My purse has new life!!! Thanks so much for restoring my Chanel bag that has definitely seen better days. I was of course worried about damaging such an expensive bag, but the Premium Cobbler put my mind at ease. I could not be happier and would definitely recommend this store to my friends and family read more

The BEST!!!! Brought my white manolo wedding shoes here to be dyed black and they did an amazing job!!!!

Walter is a genius problem solver & a master artisan and I will definitely return to him if I ever have any restoration or cleaning issues with luxury designer handbags in the future. I had accidentally ruined an expensive Chanel bag by getting large oil spills on it, but Walter was able to return it to an almost new state! The bag has a very fussy nubuck finish, making it very difficult to clean, but I am so happy with the outcome and glad I trusted Walter to do the job. I went to two other leather repair services I found on Yelp which claimed to "specialize" in luxury designer bag restoration. One of them said they would need 3 weeks and wanted to charge me $320 plus return shipping for the job. Another one simply refused to take the job and claimed oil spills can't be removed. Luckily I didn't believe any of them and went to get Walter's professional opinion. He was able to suggest a cleaning method specific for nubuck and fixed my bag within a few hours for a reasonable price. I almost can't believe how good the results are! IMPORTANT NOTE: You always take a bit of a risk when you deal with oil stains on leather, so you have to be open to experimenting and taking a few risks if you want to have a problem solved. Walter and I tested little patches of the bag together before committing to a full repair. Be sure to collaborate productively and be open-minded with your artisan if you want to achieve the best outcomes. read more

Honestly great. Super responsive and did what they said they would. 1,000% recommend.

I purchased some new designer loafers that were a little too small. Took them in for professional stretching and now there perfect. Definitely recommend this place for all future shoe needs in the UES. read more

Great service by a family run store. I have been to multiple nearby competing stores that are much larger but the shoe repair, sole replacement, and shining services have been unmatched. Very fair pricing for repairs. read more

Very quick, very honest, excellent customer service, and very fair prices. I brought in some knee-high boots that were too tight on the calves, they added some leather and they're perfect, and look so good. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent job - Walter has repaired 4 of my bags and they came out absolutely perfectly. Highly recommended

I pick a place based on reviews and then I would test them out by going "easy" first. My first pair of shoes to brought into fix was a pair of JCrew kiki flats. I just needed to get the front of the toes and heels reinforced because I walk hard on my feet. He did a great job; looks good as new. (I'm not sure if it's a one guy business but I've only seen the same guy so I'm going to assume it's one guy.) A few weeks later, I was cleaning out my room and found a pair of sandals I abandoned because it was too screwed up to wear but couldn't throw it out because I loved the way it looked and was never able to find something like it to replace. These are cheap sandals I got from DSW, but that is how much I like them that I am unwilling to give them up. I decided to give this place a shot again because he didn't disappoint the first time. Along with it were my Ferragamo Vera flats. I was completely amazed by the results of my sandals. I admit I did ask for a lot: new heels and new foot bed. He actually gave me a new foot bed!! It looks so new right now it was totally worth paying ~$80 for the new foot bed and new heels. And of course my Vera flats were also well fixed. It's really hard for me to put in words how well he did so I'm just going to post pictures. I most definitely recommend this place to get your shoes fixed. read more

They did a great job with my black boots! The toes had been worn off after years of wear in the city, and the heels were starting to go as well. I was able to pick them up all clean and shiny, which hasn't been the case since I first bought them! The toes and heels were replaced for $45, which is reasonable. The only thing is if you need to pick up your shoes close to closing, I'd call ahead of time. I tried to get them at 6:10 but it was unfortunately already closed and I had to come back. read more

I just picked up all of my Louboutins and I must say he did an EXCELLENT job. My black pair was worn down so badly that the red soles were gone. He managed to repair it and it looks like the day I bought them. I had the red soles placed on all of them now. I will definitely come back to him again! Thank You! read more

I needed to fix a wallet zipper and I first went to the original brand to see how much they priced repairs. They said I was looking at around $75, which is almost half of the cost of just buying a new wallet and even the sales associate helping me thought it was exorbitant. But I am really attached to my wallet and the leather is still in good condition so I decided to go to a cobbler instead. I found Premium Cobbler on Yelp and decided to check it out. They fixed my wallet zipper (they said they had to open up my wallet and reattach the folds together so it sounds like a complicated job) for $35 and did it within a few days. They accept card, but they will add on tax if you pay with card. Bring cash so you can avoid those charges. Also, you will pay a deposit for half the price of the job. Overall, I'm super happy with my wallet and that I was able to get it fixed. I thought the pricing was a little bit higher than I expected, but overall, I'm happy with the job and they're convenient and nearby. Will definitely bring my shoes and other repairs needed to this business in the future. read more

Amazing service!!! If I could give 10 stars I would. 10/10 Highly recommend :) had my bag butchered my someone else and they fixed it so well you can't even tell it's a repair. read more

Amazing repairs! Took two of my LV bags, a speedy 35 for a zipper repair, and an Alma bag for a bottom leather replacement You can't even tell is repaired. Very satisfied with the service, and prices are really good! read more

Only cobbler I trust. Always get the job done and are honest about what can be done and what shouldn't be done to your shoes. My go to.

What amazing service. I scuffed leather heels so bad the metal from the heel was showing. I called and Walter was extremely nice and told me to bring them In. When I picked them up I was in shock he repaired them so well I couldn't believe it. (Also rushed them for me same day). What amazing service. Premium Cobbler is my new repair shop for my shoes. read more

I'll be bringing all my future louboutins here! read more
