    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!

    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.

    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~ :)

    i have a vintage (early 90s) chanel bag that needed some TLC and it looks brand new! very fair price, and will be bringing my other bags here

    Resoled Doc Martens with Vibram half sole and heel sole

    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!

    Before with the gummy sole ‍

    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.

    I found this place through google and was a little skeptical at how good their work looked . They left me speechless . They pretty much made my shoes look brand new again ! Thank you so much

    Leather repair

    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. )

    The best shoe repair on the UES! They cleaned my suede shoes and waterproofed them for $20 while I waited, comfortably. Walter is an angel. Six stars!

    AFTER Chanel Timeless Soft Tote

    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.

    The picture speaks for itself. Fast turn around time and fair price. $65 for sole protector, cleaning and heel tips. My new go to place for shoe repair!!

    My fixed bag no longer shows the horrible dark discoloration & has gotten back the delicate unbuckle finish.

I'm definitely going to check my other belts and make sure I give him a tip next time. I'm highly recommending for shoes and a shine too. This definitely appears to be a Mom and Pop business.

What other choice did they leave me after cutting them too small to fit? Well... they gave me zero updates throughout the process and didn't return them until I followed up which seemed to magically happen at the exact moment they were ready. In all likelihood they'd been ready but they didn't want me to see what they did this time, and they were right to feel that way. The boots are now next level destroyed. The leather is scuffed and worn out all over the place to the point where there is a very, very obvious difference between the leather at the foot of the boot and the leather at the shaft which looks like it was beaten with a mallet. But that's not it! They're still two different sizes and still have crooked seams. I've sent photos and multiple messages and no one has even acknowledged me since they returned the boots like that. These are absolute scumbags who know what they did, won't take accountability, won't respond, and won't even credit me for the $318 I paid for them to ruin beyond repair boots that were $1,995 plus tax brought to them in brand new condition. Just scheduled time off from work to go to the court and file a small claim and I am FUMING that I need to do this. I sincerely hope this company goes out of business. You can see from the reviews here how little they care about the work they do to high value and often irreplaceable items and there is no room in this great city or anywhere for a business like that.
