I was searching for a shoe repair because my dog ate the orange leather straps off of my purse. The bag was a gift and I needed to get it repaired. The job was pricey but the shop keeper informed me of that ahead of time; there were no surprises here. He was very polite and professional. He let me know the color might not match exactly (the bag is orange for crying out loud). He ordered a swatched and called me to return once the swatch arrived. I approved the color of the swatch and he proceeded to make the repairs. If you didn't know the bag was altered you wouldn't guess it. The work he did on the was top notch and I am very happy with the results read more

This is a gem of a place. Boris is just the best. He fixed my YSL shoe in 15 mn on such short notice and stayed open late for me under the rain. The top band was slightly too tight and he fixed it in a way that I was able to wear it for hours with no pain. I recommend him one hundred percent. read more

I have been coming here for YEARS and can only say great things about Boris and his work! I have trusted him with over 20 pairs of Louboutins, he has put permanent red soles on all of the bottoms, and I have never had any issues with them. He has even fixed shredded heels for me that have gotten stuck and tore. When my Louis Vuitton neverfull ripped he fixed the entire leather stitching and you can't even tell it's been replaced! He's exceptional at what he does, has a quick turn around time, and is very honest and reliable. I have been to numerous places before who do the permanent red bottoms, and they have never lasted! I have never had to re do a sole that Boris has done for me! read more

Professional Shoe & Upholstery - New Louboutins drop off ! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Baldwin, New York

First of I want to say that the craftsmanship is great. Especially if you want to repair your Red bottom shoe, this is probably the best place to take it. My 2 stars rating comes from poor customer service. I feel like the owner felt above me because I brought in regular shoes and not high end Christian Louboutins; he made me feel like my shoes were not worth repairing. I felt like I was over charged. And finally, one of the repair he did was on a new leather suede boot I've never worn because the zipper was broken. Upon picking up the shoe, I notice a damage on the suede part and i pointed it out to him. I said this looks like some type of burn here, his reply was " No, that doesn't make any sense. It look like it was probably from the other shoe". This is where I got pist. You damage my shoe that is brand new, never worn, wrapped in paper in a box, and said I dont make sense?!?! What he doesn't know is I'm a professional who's worked in the interior design field for over 16 years. I'm very familiar with all types of fabric. This man really tried to insult my intelligence and instead of being courteous or apologize and fix my shoe, he blames me for it....never coming back here again. read more

I traveled from Brooklyn to Baldwin just because I've been following this shop on Instagram and I immediately felt like I can trust them with my red bottoms. Boris cut the metal heels down (gave me a one on one) and replaced the bottom with rubber on the spot. I'm very happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere at this shop. I now feel comfortable buying more designer heels because of him. read more

Professional Shoe & Upholstery - Awesome work! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Baldwin, New York

I had ripped my Adirondack Boots and pretty badly on the leather after last winters snow storms. I just through them in the corner and kissed them good bye. I then realized its a Vibram sole you idiot, go get them fixed!!! I came here and laughed as I handed them my boots and said good luck, he said to me I'm going to try my best. Its probably not going to match and not exactly look pretty. I said as long as it functions that all I care about. Literally the next day I go back to pick them up and was blown away on what a nice job they did. Clean stitching and riveted the back. Price was great, I feel like he should of even charged more for the work he did. I will definitely go back!! read more

Professional Shoe & Upholstery - Absolutely awesome job fixing my boots - Shoe Repair Near Me - Baldwin, New York

Brought Birkenstock clogs to be repaired. Used the wrong color button and then didn't give me a receipt. Bad service. Also felt like I was overcharged for an incorrectly done job. read more

Wonderful experience all around, owner/master of the craft inquired first about the sentiment of the shoes...in order to make sure we did not waste our money. Certainly showed us right away he was not trying to just take our funds without a dialogue. My friend loved his leather boots & did not want to purchase a new pair, as they were perfectly broken in & only needed new soles. Very professional & charismatic owner. Word of mouth does not do this establishment justice, hence why I am here typing away. He was also very fast & polite. Highly recommended & much respect. Vote with your money! read more

AMAZING and professional service always. I have been coming here for 2 years and moved about an hour away. I made the mistake of getting something fixed closer to where I moved on LI NEVER again. This place is the only place I'd ever recommend. He's fixed my red bottom soles, YSL heels, and my Tom Ford bag which was white and now thanks to him is white again. He's fixed serval pairs of cute heels that I've owned for four years and could never find again and made them look brand new. He can offer you products back the same day or within a day if needed. I could go on and on but this is the best place for shoe repair. Did I mention affordable? read more

The gentleman who runs the store job does a fine job and charges fair prices. Highly recommended.

I want everyone to know about Baldwin Shoe Repair. It is so difficult to find someone as talented and dedicated to this long lost art, and I am very fortunate to have met Boris years ago. He's is a true artist who practices his craft with precise dedication. Boris has amazing skills, making old shoes look like new, reupholstering furniture, giving a beat up leather jacket new life. He repairs handbags, briefcases, changes heel lengths, dyes worn out leather, and even patches it. You would never know the difference. I was there today with a much loved pair of boots, to get new heels and soles. He has redone boat cushions for me, fixed a vintage black handbag , dyed my winter coat. Looking around the shop today, I realized I have never truly seen everything that Boris can do. He works from his heart. Feeling so appreciative and aware, I had to share with you his expertise. Ordinarily in today's world, everything is disposable. People toss quality items, and quickly replace. What is made today, does not compare to the workmanship of years ago. Go there. See for yourself, ... and you will see a professional craftsman who is dedicated to do the very best he can. I promise. read more

What an awesome place! Boris is always friendly and exacting. He can breathe life into what seemed destroyed; make those shoes you "had to have" fit; or further customize those handmade beauties! He is the only MAN I trust with my shoes and handbags to read more

Brought in my leather shoes after being pushed into a pool. They were in pretty bad shape, but I dropped them off and was told "I'll bring them back to life". He wasn't kidding; two days later and the shoes look exactly how they did before the water damage, and for a very reasonable price. Very happy! read more

Roman is very professional and does great work. Custom work can be done here and it is done very professionally and in a timely fashion.

Guys are cool! I went in today to see if someone was able to cut my heel (some of these heels are a tad bit high) & the gentle man was able to do it right on the spot. Believe it or not I didn't even wait long (3 mins tops)He was cool about it not cranky like some other dudes I doubt with. Price was reasonable. So ladies if you need those heels a tad bit shorter for your Saturday night outing this is the place read more

Fixed the zipper on my boot the day of (the day before New Years Eve)! The ankle was entirely to tight because it was stitched wrong by the company. He explained the problem and my two options because I asked the pricing (which was decent) and fixed it without no problem! They seem like they know their stuff! They also do embroidery on clothing. read more

I will certainly return. He fixed both of my Valentino shoes. One he fixed for me on the spot for my trip. The other was fixed the day after I dropped them off. I have no absolutely complaints. Thank you. read more

Went there a couple of times for watch battery replacement, very professional & knowledgeable. Great place for shoe repair also.

I've known him since the day he opened! I followed him from his first old spot to his second new spot he's the only person I trust with my shoes! I come out from jersey every couple of months just to get my shoes fixed! Thank you Boris! read more

This shop is AMAZING!!!!! High tech and all I went in there for is to have a few holes put in a strap I have for a purse. The owner did it for free at no charge and now my bag is just perfect!!!!!! I will definitely be bringing in ANY shoes or bags for future repair work!!!!!!! read more

Most people don't know about the services this place can offer. They repair shoes, adjust watch bands, replace watch batteries. They do all kind of embroidery, upholstery repair. They even frame pictures. I bet I am missing a few other talents they have. So check them out if you need any of the above taken care of. read more
