I had a broken heel on one of my favorite pairs of shoes! Riebe's did an amazing job. Not only did he fix the heel but her repair the leather that was starting to crack on the toe. read more

Super helpful and very quick repairs! Clearly a very knowledgeable guy and so kind. Totally worth every penny. Reasonable prices too, I considered replacing my work boots but he was able to not only repair them but make them better than I bought them for, for less money! Now that's a win! read more

Needed a pair of Cowboy boots resoled and was directed here. This pair had been previously resoled six previous times and the last couple times I was told it may not work. Bob did an excellent job and I'm hoping to get another 5 or 6 years from this resole. This is a real shoe repair shop with a great shoe repair man. read more

This is a real professional and his skills are a lost art. I've taken many shoes to him over the years to be repaired and have always been thrilled with the results. I strongly recommend this business. They are kind, thoughtful and courteous, as well as truly talented. They also are reasonably priced. read more

I love this place. It takes me back to my youth when our hometown cobbler repaired and provided new life to all our well-worn​ shoes (belts, handbags, coin purses and kinds of other things). Nope, we did not throw shoes away just because there was a hole or a tear. Riebes is a BIG upgrade for me. The shop has MUCH better lighting and a MUCH larger service area then the shop of my childhood​ and the Riebe's craftsmanship​ is as good or better! The shop has all the equipment and smells of the cobbler shop of my youth. This week, my slippers had a blow-out in the toes. The Riebes expertly​ sewed the brokenseam and​d I am confident the seam is now better than when they were new. My slippers were returned to me in an​ environmentally friendly​ paper bag! Thank you for this, too ;) For under $25 I will get much more service out of these slippers! (It would have cost a lot more to replace them) A lovely family business that opens early (I love this!), keeps their delivery promise and returns you favorite thing in as good (or in my case, better-than ) new. read more

Robert Riebe's Shoe Repair - It so nice to have my favorite puppies home again. My feet are thrilled. - Shoe Repair Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Bob has an impeccable reputation that he always lives up to. I will only get my shoes shined here. Quality is incredible. Reliable and always friendly. Only place in the county to go to have the shiniest shoes. Highly recommend read more

Their hours have apparently changed, they are only open Tues, We'd & Thurs, from 6:00AM until 10:00AM, which is extremely inconvenient, when you're coming from Nampa & it's not indicated anywhere, other than the window, when you get there. read more

This is Boise's best shoe shine hands down. Old school shoe shines (you'll even find a Playboy on the chair if that's your thing) done quickly and inexpensively. The shines are thorough and your shoes end up looking spectacular. I've had a number of other shoe services completed here and the work is always top quality if a tad on the expensive side based on my experience with other shoe services but not enough to keep me away or make me shop.That said, they've added years of life to expensive shoes so I think pricing is relative. They are not open on the weekends which is a challenge and they only take cash so be aware, more than once I've had to run to an ATM because I forgot they don't take credit or debit cards. They have the best selection of polish and shoe care equipment in Boise. You'll find colors that you don't expect that will match your toughest shoe colors and if they don't have it they can get it. If you need work done on shoes, purses, belts or bags, it is definitely worth the drive downtown to go to Riebe's. read more

Robert Riebe's Shoe Repair - Boise's best shine! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Very good service. They were able to rescue my boots that had shrunk to such a point that I couldn't even slip my feet in. It stopped at the tongue and could not go any further. Great work, reasonably priced too. Will return soon for other shoes. read more

Indigo and I dropped off one of my favorite handbags a few weeks ago. It had a broken zipper and mailing it to get repaired (to the company I bought it from) would have cost shipping and 75 -90 to fix. I was told (by the purse company) that it probably wouldn't be fixable anyway because it was several years old. However, Bob, is magical. He had his wife check it out and they just replaced the slide! It's as good as new and the bill was very reasonable. I'm more than happy with their service and they treat you like they've known you for years! I highly recommend Riebe's! I will definitely be back. Indigo gives this place 50 stars! read more

My husband dropped off a pair of shoes for a shine and to have the heel repaired. He is a shoe snob, having owned this particular pair for probably 20 years. Short story is they did an excellent job at a fair price. They also completed the repair in a very timely manner which was important as we are not from Boise and needed the shoes back rather quickly. The guy running the shop has enough business he doesn't need to kiss anyone's backside so don't expect them to grovel over your patronage. Just accept that these are craftsmen performing a (nearly) outdated service with exceptional skill and job pride. I'm sure they get plenty of business due to the proximity of the Capitol too. read more

You walk through the doors and you're magically transported back in time - at least for me. The ambiance, decor, even the smell, remind me of a time when great service could be expected; and this shoe repair place doesn't disappoint. I brought in some shoes (see pic; sorry they look like legislative pilgrims wore them) and the guru behind the counter fixed the soles and shined them up - for a great price and in less than 48 hours. Great place. Great service. Great pricing. They get it. read more

Robert Riebe's Shoe Repair - All set for the Pilgrim's Ball this year! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Friendly, fast service. Replaced heels of both my boots (tall, brown leather, semi-flat, ladies) for under $30. Breathed a few more years of life into them for far less than replacing. I will definitely return! read more

Robert Riebe's Shoe Repair - Shoe Repair Near Me - Boise, Idaho

They do good work on polishing and some repairs, a bit pricey though. Only beef I have is he's pretty selective about the repairs he does. I have a pair of cowboy boots that I need repaired/resoled. Originally I took them in and he said it would be ~$90 for the work. I was short on funds and brought them back a month later. This time he said he would not mess with them and that I should buy a new pair. Not really that big a deal, I have another shop that will do the work (for $60), just a little frustrated by the waste of time. I do appreciate that he was honest that he didn't want to do the repair though. Business is good for him. read more

Always happy with the friendly service and professional work done on the boots and shoes I bring in.

I have a pair of boots that had soles that were separating from the uppers. When I dropped them off, I mentioned that I would like to take them on a hunting trip the following week. (I know... "You want it w-h-e-n?") Robert said he would try to get them done by then. He called me in three days and told me they were ready. He did an excellent job and even buffed in boot grease which was above and beyond my expectations. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned (dex +3, for you gamers) so I am very pleased to have them restored. For this amazingly fast, excellent service, I was charged $23.50 and now have boots in an almost-new condition; that sure beats shelling out $180+ for a new pair. :D read more

Awesome service, great quality of work, open early so you can pick up before work, fairly priced, the owner has a great sense of humor. What else could you want? read more

I honestly do want to give them as many stars as possible based on the fact that they are, for the most part, very friendly. However, I'm very disappointed in my first (and last) experience after picking up my shoes today. Fail #1: A pair of practically new, beautiful heels now look like something you'd see in a vintage clothing store - the leather is crinkly and looks extremely weathered. I brought this to his attention and he said "Yeah, that's what happens when you stretch them". Ummmm...perhaps a little heads up beforehand. I asked if he shined them (which I had requested) and he said "No, that costs $6.50" --- ummm...yeah, so? Now I must either try to find a "quick-fix" or new shoes for an event TOMORROW night. Fail #2: The sole around a pair of gorgeous wedges from Nordies needed some attention as the rubber had worn away and a crack on one of the soles needed bonding. Much to my dismay, he only repaired the crack but had done nothing with the toes and said "Well, that'll cost you $13.50 but honestly I don't think the shoes are worth it". Thanks dude, they are only my favorite ....(and in great condition - other than the toes that needed repair). So I left w/ new shoes looking old, a pair that were hardly repaired, and having been insulted. It was frustrating that each service I asked for was met w/ "Well, that'll cost you........." in a discouraging tone. Mister, I promise you, I'm not poor...I can afford it and I definitley don't want to have to beg! read more

I found my puppy chewing on the heel of a pair of [gasp!] Ferragamo black suede boots. The damage was mostly on the bottom, but approximately 1/2" of the suede-covered heel had teeth marks. The owner of this shop was very friendly and suggested he cut 1/2" off of both heels and add a thicker replacement heel, to balance it out. Worked like a charm and saved my favorite boots (which I'm more careful to keep out of harms way, now). I have since taken all of my shoe repair business to this shop, with always excellent results. The shoe/boot shines are also very reasonable and make your shoes look better than the day you bought them. read more

Fixed a belt no charge, Fixed 2 pairs of shoes. I could not even tell where the work had been done. Bob treats all customers like family. You must pay in cash or check no credit cards here. While there have your shoes shined. They did such a great job that they looked like new. Found out it was his son working that day doing shoe shines. Paul is a real nice kid. I would not go anywhere else. read more

This is the go to place in the Boise area to get your boots and shoes shined, they do a great job at a very competitive price.

I've been here a couple of times over the past year, and have always had a positive experience. The first time I needed to buy some laces and get my soles repaired. Most recently I got my shoes shined and a 10 year old pair looks brand new. read more

Stopped in 7/24/19, and Bob took good care of fixing my old Western boots PDQ, didn't have any cash so he said mail me ta CK. I took my CK to the Post office today for him. Good service and good guy. Highly recommend. read more

I had an excellent experience here to get my shoes fixed. I had two winter boots that had ripped in the back. They fixed it right up with patches and you couldn't even tell they had a rip. The guy behind the counter (I'm assuming he is the owner) was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would got back anytime. read more

Bob Riebe is a master craftsman. He "renovated" three pairs of shoes I thought were beyond their useful life. They rack looked as good as the day I bought them. Riebe's is the only place I'll take my shoes from now on. read more

Super nice guy. Quality service- made my boots look brand new. Extremely reasonably priced- he also did not try to oversell me. I went in thinking I needed them to be re soled and he said they could just be fixed up and get a few more miles out of the current soles. read more

Always a quick turn around, reasonable prices and a pair of shoes/boots with new life breathed into them. I've also had a few purses fixed and you can't even tell there is new stitching. What a gem it is to have this old time master cobbler in the neighborhood. read more

Just found this shop online and dropped off my boots one afternoon for some stitching repair. He finished them the next morning for less than $10. Excellent work and I'll hopefully get a few more years out read more

Would definitely recommend and will continue to return to! I was nervous about taking a high end designer purse some where to have fixed with out knowing much about the place. When I came here the gentleman running it was so nice. I explained to him that I was going to have a hard time parting from my purse for the weekend, I dropped it off on Thursday and he got it done quickly by Friday (the next day) so I could have it for the weekend. They also did a great job repairing a pair of shoes. I should clarify that his wife did the work on my items and did an incredible job. It was also half the price I was expecting. They only take cash or check but at that low of a price it was no biggie! They are amazing!!!!! read more

On my way to a conference in Boise, the airline baggage folks decided to have some fun with my luggage and somehow managed to rip the one side of the handle off of my bag. I took it into Riebe's Shoe Repair and they did a fabulous job of fixing it for me at a very reasonable price. The customer service was awesome (loved the fact that the owner had his teenage son working with him), and the store was absolutely charming. A true asset to the City of Boise. read more
