I needed these shoes for a wedding I was attending. I dropped the shoes off on Monday and they were promised to me by Friday. The repair was for my high heel shoes that needed a replacement heel cap as they were old and needed to be refreshed. The repair was super reasonable and affordable. It was 20 bucks. The gentleman that took my shoes for repair didn't seem all too friendly but he definitely made me feel like my shoes would be repaired correctly. I picked up my shoes on Friday and They were perfect! I was wedding ready!

I need expensive shoes with extra width, and extra depth in the heel so that my brace doesn't pull out of shoe. Being on disability, and a fixed income, I am always looking to spend our limited income efficiently. I was able to buy a $179 pair of almost properly fitting " Mary Jane's" shoes for $59 in the clearance section, the strap was way too short. I took it to Farrell for an estimate, And he said he was able to fix it without any problem. In a few short days, Farrell extend the strap to make it perfect! His craftsmanship, and attention to detail is meticulous. It's impossible to find the repair. Both Bryan and his Dad are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and informative regarding your repair. The price was reasonable, and definitely a value in my situation. I highly recommend Clarke's Express Shoe Repair, and , although, this was my first visit, I am now a committed repeat customer.

I called a number of local shoe repair places and Clarke's was the first one to answer that had weekend hours so I opted to give them a try. Initially, I dropped off the shoe and was told I would get a call with an estimate. I dropped them off on a Saturday and had heard nothing by the following Sunday so I reached out via Facebook messenger and left my number. I was called back by Farrell, the owner, and given a quote, a time estimate and an option to pay via PayPal (they don't do credit cards). Once that was all squared away, Clarke's went to work on my shoe. When it was finished Farrell called me to let me know I could pick it up and explained a little about what he did to the shoe. While Bel Air is a bit of a drive for me, the customer service and quality of the work that Clarke's provided means I will be returning in the future.

They are wonderful!…read more I first came in because I needed the straps on my newly purchased (used) Louis Vuitton bag replaced with longer ones. The LV store in Towson was unable to replace the straps with longer ones. Luckily, a fellow shopper recommended Stefan's. They had perfectly matching vachetta leather, and went above and beyond to match the gold stud fasteners, even ordering new ones. The results was absolutely beautiful, and well worth the wait (it took a while for the new studs to arrive). I've returned for other repairs (leather tag replacement on a bag, shoe stretching) and I won't go anywhere else. They are friendly, kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and do great work.

AVOID AVOID AVOID this place at all cost!! Unskilled, unprofessional, unethical and extremely…read moreunderhanded are perfect adjectives to describe this "business". Please note, after more in depth research, all the positive reviews and glowing news articles you may see about this business, that the current owners try to bring up and falsely stand on, were earned by the man who founded this business NOT the current people running it. They should be ashamed the way they are tarnishing that man's reputation & craftsmanship. I'm not even sure the current owner's are trained in what they're doing. My husband dropped food on my rust colored leather designer handbag and took initiative to get it cleaned himself. He saw this business as he was driving by. I was unaware he was taking it here & would NOT have chosen this place. What started out as a repair/request to remove 2 oil stains on the top of a leather handbag, turned into this business deciding (without consent) to treat the entire bag with a chemical solutions that not only unevenly changed the leather darker, but changed the texture, added new stains and scratches on the bag, and left a thick, greasy coating all over it that gets all over my hands when touching it. The business owner's responses to my complaints were... 1. the chemical application applied to the entire bag was leather conditioner and was "standard practice" to make the rest of the bag blend in with the stained areas (HUH?); 2. But he also denied the bag was darker (despite his previous statement & being shown clear before photos); 3. Insisted the scratches and stains I pointed out were already there before he received the bag but thankfully I had photos of the bag before he damaged it. This business refused to provide any type of remedy or compensation for the damage they caused to my handbag. I am currently pursuing every avenue available to me as a consumer to be sure they don't get away with this. I'm not letting this go and they should not advertise as a "leather cleaning/repair" shop when clearly they have no idea what they're doing and refuse to stand behind their work. What I found most infuriating and left me questioning the integrity of this business were the gaslighting tactics, word play and underhanded methods the owner tried to pull to get out of accepting responsibility for the damage. For example...He offered to refund the $55 cleaning fee we paid, but only if I consented to him recording me with his phone while he asked me questions about the handbag and its history. It was utterly ridiculous because we were speaking and doing business in public in the front of his store, so legally speaking, there were no expectations of privacy with other customers doing business around us as well as employees being there. He didn't need my consent (and I didn't need his to record the entire interaction either). This was completely unnecessary and did nothing but further frustrate me as an unsatisfied customer and escalate the situation. He also kept asking and trying to get me to show him specific "before photos" of the handbag. Basically trying to see if the photos I had clearly showed the areas of the handbag that he knew he had damaged. I refused to show him anything further at that point after realizing what he was trying to do, so then he resorted to saying my husband put the scratches on the handbag right there in front of him when he picked it up off their counter. Just grasping at straws trying to avoid accountability. The most low down, dirty tricks a business could resort to in order to avoid accountability. If you value your belongings don't patronize this business.
