We did not ask them to polish the boots, and it shows a consistent misunderstanding of how to treat different types of leather.

I was told it would be done in two weeks and I never got a call. I dropped by today out of curiosity and I saw they're closed for the entire month of December. That would've been nice to know when I dropped it off. I still don't have it back. I haven't gotten a call. I haven't gotten a text. At least they were nice enough to put a sign up on their door saying they're closed for the entire month. I'll update once I get it back.

Review for Bedos Leatherworks - Steve Doudaklian…read more The transformation of my vintage Florsheim Imperials is truly night and day. These shoes arrived at Bedos Leatherworks worn and tired, and what Steve returned to me looks like a masterpiece fresh out of a bespoke workshop. Steve didn't just resole them--he completely recrafted the shoes from the ground up with unmatched skill. The welt work, stitching, and finishing are flawless, far surpassing anything I've ever seen from factory production. Every detail was handled with precision, and the shoes now look better than when they were new. On top of that, Steve went above and beyond by creating custom shoe trees, beautifully stamped with the Imperial logo. It's that level of detail and pride in craftsmanship that makes his work so special. If you want to see your shoes not just restored but elevated, Bedos Leatherworks is the place. Steve's artistry proves that true craftsmanship can breathe new life into classics--and even surpass their original glory.

See the before and after pictures…read more In our modern, high-disposable age, places like Golden Shoe Repair are quickly disappearing. It's a shame, as true craftsmanship and quality still matter. I was disappointed when the shoe repair spot at Langston Boulevard and George Mason closed a few years ago, so I'm incredibly happy that Golden Shoe is still around and going strong. I recently brought in a few pair of older Clarks. They are my favorite comfortable work dress shoes, but they had reached a point where they weren't quite right for business anymore. However, they still had plenty of life left in them. I took them to Golden Shoe for a full shine and restoration, and the results are fantastic. They look great now for a weekend or an evening out paired with blue jeans. This wasn't my first visit, either. Previously, I brought in my Doc Martens that I've owned since the 1990s. They handled that restoration perfectly as well. What to expect: * Service: Fantastic quality and a very fair price for the level of work. * Pro Tip: This is a cash-only shop, so make sure to stop by the ATM before you head over.

Bar none, the repairs were the best I have ever had done anywhere! The quality was outstanding! Their attention to detail is not something I see anymore. On all three repairs they found extra items that needed TLC and did them without extra charges. The staff is always friendly too. I would rate them 4 & 1/2 stars on their workmanship if I could. I would give Casmera 5 stars if they were not so in demand and took longer than expected for all the jobs. That is a great problem to have. Also, striving toward better communication with their customers about the repairs would definitely give them five stars. Don't go anywhere else. Go to Casmera. They were out of the way for me, but so worth it!

I stopped by The Shoe Shoppe in Tysons because I have a pair of slingback heels that I love, but…read morethe back strap constantly slips off my foot and makes them almost impossible to walk in. I really wanted to wear them to my cousins wedding and this shop came recommended. I originally thought the strap needed to be shortened, but the staff suggested a different fix. They told me that adding a pad under my foot and a non-slip band on the strap would solve the issue. It helped a little, but not completely leaving me somewhat disappointed. In addition to not receiving a complete fix, what really disappointed me was the service or lack thereof. The man working there barely looked up from what he was doing and never asked me to try on the shoe to see the problem for himself. He gave short, vague suggestions and seemed uninterested in actually helping. I had to walk back and forth to the shelves three separate times to find the products he mentioned, rather than him taking a moment to show me where they were. The whole interaction felt dismissive and rushed. The shop itself is tucked away inside Tysons Mall, so it is easy to miss unless you are looking for it. While it is convenient if you are already nearby, I would not make a special trip back. For a store that specializes in shoes, I expected more attention and care. The experience left me unimpressed and still struggling with the same pair of shoes.

I echo the other review in which my shoes (two pair) came out damaged and cosmetically undesirable to wear due to scuffing.

Very unprofessional behavior and indicative of the workmanship.

They destroyed three pairs of my shoes by just stuffing random crap together and calling it done. The heel on my boots had black marks, and instead of cleaning it, they just left it and didn't try to blend or sand it down like idiots. My leopard Gucci shoes' heel was supposed to be replaced, but instead, they wrapped some dumb stuff around it to cover up the fabric coming apart. When I tried to get it fixed somewhere else, they had the audacity to snatch it back and make it worse. This place is a total disaster--unorganized, no proper system, just a bunch of screw-ups doing whatever the hell they want. Do NOT send your shoes there. Worst fucking place ever.
