This business was affordable, friendly, and very good at the work they do. I have referred my friend to this business also. Hope they stay in the current location since they are easy to find. They only accept cash and the full title of their business is not reflected... Their sign just reflects "Shoe Repair" T read more

They used a sharpie on my vintage coach bag in front of me to deflect from the residual glue that I pointed out that was left by them on the strap I had repaired. By the time I looked up and saw it happening it was too late. I'm so disappointed. read more

My mom and I have been coming here for years (at their old location) and we finally had some shoes to bring by again at their current location (newer). While we both remember the great quality of work and decent prices, I will say they have gone up a lot and some of their work is great and other times it's been okay, but at least we got the fix we needed. In our most recent visit, I was able to get my mom's cowgirl boots stretched and they did a fantastic job! The toe box was pointed and very tight but after stretching they have been super comfortable to wear. I did drop off my husband's Sperry decks to be resoled and they did a good job, I just know it wasn't exactly what my husband nor I were expecting. The shoes are definitely a lot thicker now as they resoled on top of the worn down original sole. We assumed they would have taken off the original sole and put the new soles on, but again it got the job done and my husband can wear his shoes without slipping on every surface. It might be helpful to be more clear with what you want when you drop them off, as we had just assumed it would turn out a specific way because we were asked no questions. Dropping off the shoes was a little concerning too since all they did was hand us a slip of paper with incoherent writing on it and our last name (written by us). We didn't pay until we picked up the shoes. They only accept cash which is important to know before going. They won't call you when they are done with your items, they just give you a date and when you show up they are ready. Clearly their system works for them. I'm just glad I was able to get some more life out of my husband's decks. read more

So refreshing to see a family business thriving. They did a great job and I'll be back here for sure.

My son (7) recently discovered Michael Jackson and has been practicing his dance moves ever since. The one move that he REALLY wanted to do was the "lean" from the Smooth Criminal video. Unfortunately, that move requires very special shoes. I went to several cobblers in North County trying to find some who could make the shoes. We didn't have any luck until we tried this place. They were extremely patient and understanding and willing to take the project on (much to my son's delight). After a couple weeks we picked the shoes up and they were PERFECT. My son has been practicing the "lean" ever since. This would not have been possible if it weren't for them. I highly recommend them and am extremely grateful to them. read more

Use any other shoe repair. My brand new boots that I took in to have polished ended up dyed! What?!?! They went from neutral to I can't even describe this awful brown and look at the dyed thread. Brand new and now ruined. Also, to my surprise during drop off I was told it was $4 for the service. I was fully prepared to give him $10 or $15, but now it was $22 for them to ruin my boots. If you couldn't provide the service I requested you should have turned me away. read more

I was in need of having a pair of Jordan shoes repaired due to tearing. After reading the nice reviews, I decided to take my shoes there for repair. This was last Saturday. I was told they would be ready by Friday. I never got a call that they were done, so I went in today(Saturday). They were ready. I was charged $9.50 for the work. I am very disappointed in the quality of the work. They used white thread in the blue section to sew it up. It stands out and looks bad. This particular Jordan 13 shoe is no longer made in this color scheme, so I'm screwed. I do not recommend this buisness if you care about your personal items. read more

I have to write about how AMAZING Ruby's is. I've been bringing my Ugg's, sneakers and dress shoes here for over 20 years and I have never had any problems or issues.

As straight forward as it gets. Walked in, no wait. Asked to get shoes resoled. They quoted a price, I asked them to write the quote on the claim ticket. Said it'd be a week. Showed up a week later, paid the amount, got the boots. Paid $85 to resole work boots, and they re-conditioned them too. Efficiency on point read more

If you need shoe repair look no further. I have gotten a few things done here. They can do it all. I bought some second hand store heels thar needed new straps they did that. I bought new heels and the ankle backing sat too high on my ankle and hit in a really uncomfortable spot. I wasn't sure what could be done but they had a solution and I still wear those shoes over 5 years later. Most recently I bought a cheap pair of really cute sandals from shein. I've had a hard time finding something like this so I bought and of course the cheap quality did not fit my foot right. They were able to get the straps fitted even though the material was cheap and quite honestly seemed hard to work with. I don't know how long these will last but that has nothing to do with the quality of work at ruby slippers. If I get a few wears out of them I'll be very happy. And you'll be hard pressed to find a better price. Prices are extremely reasonable read more

I took my moms old Doc Martain's to get some much needed tlc. They were completely covered in mold and algae. I was almost sure there was no hope. I was so wrong thanks to Ruby Slipper Shoes and Repair! They look almost brand new. I am beyond thankful and impressed. The best part is I was expecting and willing to pay a hefty price. I was shocked at how affordable the complete transformation was. I don't have a before sadly because the state of the shoes were really terrible, but you can tell what a good job they did in the after... read more

Quick turn around and fair pricing. Had a purse strap mended I'd been putting off. Great to have it just as new!

I took in a Dooney & Burke (name dropper!) "relaxed" purse to have a bottom put in for more structure. She did an amazing job & placed the original fabric over it. It's very nice work! She knows her "stuff"! Girl power! And, P.S. there was a guy ahead of me with some heavy boot-like shoes that he was picking up and, I swear, they looked like new! read more

Have been coming to this place for years to get shoe and boot repair. Today, needed holes added to a belt. The owner was so very kind to repair on the spot. Mentioned she just worked on a belt for Santa and she was thrilled. Very accommodating and friendly. No matter what I have had this wonderful cobbler repair, I have been very happy with. Extremely fair prices. Big parking lot but may have to fight the local burger joint traffic. If getting repair, bring cash only. Not many crafts people around like this any longer so glad this store is in my neighborhood. read more

They responded to my online query regarding resoling a pair of "Old Friend" brand slippers and said they could do it. When I got there and showed them the slippers, they changed their mind and said they couldn't do it. I mean, when you give them a BRAND NAME you'd think they know what they can or can't do before you go out of your way to get there. I'm never going back. read more
