Shoe Repair Etc. - Anti Semitic I am writing to report my experience with a shoe repair business, Shoe Repair Etc., located at 7050 W. Palmetto Park Rd., Bay 23 in Boca Raton, within the Publix shopping plaza at the intersection of Palmetto and Powerline. I brought in a designer handbag for zipper repair. When I retrieved the item, the strap had been scratched and ripped, and the underside of the handbag was significantly damaged. There was visible hot glue residue and multiple scratches all over the leather. The bag had been in excellent condition prior to the repair, and the result was unacceptable. When I raised concerns about the condition of the item and the appropriateness of payment, I was met with unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. The shoemaker and an individual who appeared to be his spouse made disparaging and anti-Semitic remarks, including comments about "Jewish Boca women" being superficial for purchasing designer goods. Incidentally, they have no idea what my religion is, as I do not know them personally beyond being their customer. I am sharing this experience not only to warn others about the poor quality of workmanship, but also to highlight the deeply troubling conduct and values demonstrated by the individuals running this business. Their willingness to damage a customer's property, refuse accountability, and then resort to offensive, anti-Semitic remarks reflects a complete lack of professionalism, integrity, and basic respect. This behavior is unacceptable in any setting, and consumers should be fully aware of the character and ethics of those they are choosing to support. Thank you for reading read more

I sent my granddaughter to have her bag and shoes repaired, and I was very disappointed with the results. Both repairs were unsatisfactory. The service was overpriced, expectations were set too high, and the final work did not meet those expectations. They also did not notify her when the repairs were completed. When she arrived--one day after the promised pickup date--she was told to wait while they rushed to finish the job. The leather bag was returned with new scratches, loose stitching, and a poorly done patch. I told her to ask for a refund due to the poor quality of the repair, the inconvenience, and the excessive pricing, but her request was denied. "we don't do that"! Overall, the customer service was lacking, and I regret sending her to them for this repair. I would not recommend their services. read more

Ulysses is a craftsman among cobblers. His price is a very fair road to the work and I expect he put into every job he does. I would highly recommend him for any in all footwear or leather good needs. read more

Got my bag and shoes repaired, very disappointed and completely unsatisfied with both of the repairs. Over charged, over promised, and under delivered. They do not call you to tell you your repairs are complete. Was told to wait at shop for them to rush and finish the repair even though I showed up a day after the promised pickup date. Was handed my leather bag back with new scratches, loose stitching, and a poor patch job. Asked for refund given it was expensive for such a poor repair job and immediately refused. Only offered me to leave my bag another week to complete the job... they have no decent customer service. Honestly regret getting my bag repaired by them. Do not recommend at all. read more

I called a few alteration shops regarding an emergency alteration I needed to have done on a coat. Every single one told me it would be ready next week regardless if it was just a simple reinforcement. I called Claudia, who is such a sweetheart, and she told me to bring it in. She was kind enough to text me directions so I wouldn't get lost, did the alteration right then and there and didn't even charge me! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. What an angel! I highly recommend. read more

Claudia altered my bridesmaid dress in a timely manner and the dress was not easy to alter due to the layers of fabric and making the slit higher. She was a sweetheart and also took in the dress slightly to make sure it wouldn't move throughout the night. read more

I have been a customer for many years at shoe repair etc My son needed a jacket altered ASAP for a wedding I brought my son to Claudia at claudias alterations ...located in the shoe repair. She fitted him with the jacket and said he needed the sleeves shortened and the jacket tapered And she could do it in a day Charge was 400 dollars We were a little shocked at the price but had no choice but to pay. I picked the jacket up and when my son tried it on the sleeves were way to short. I went back to see if they could be fixed Claudia said yes but it will be a xtra cost What happened to customer service and doing a great job correctly Needless to say I will never be a customer again Avoid Claudia alterations. read more

My sneaker's soles were very worn out and the soles needed to be glued to the shoe again. After doing research, I choose this business because of the positive reviews. I dropped them off, and they said it would take about a week and a pretty low price for repairing golden goose sneakers. I returned the next week, and they were in excellent condition compared to what they came in! I highly recommend if you need your shoes to be re-soled or fixed. read more

After my blush pink YSL purse got stained by rubbing against new black jeans, this place fixed it perfectly. It looks brand new! Was so happy. The woman is very nice too. I'm going to try getting a bridesmaid dress hemmed here as well. read more

I had them repair a snap on a diaper bag and they did such a great job that I had no idea which snap originally broke.

If I could give them a negative 5 review I would. I brought in a 3 single shoes, from my retail client for repair. When I picked up the shoes they seem fine. My customer tried the shoe in front of me and took 2 steps before it fell apart. Not only did I pay for this complimentary repair myself, now I have to replace the shoe since this pathetic place of business refuse to fix it. They didn't even have the work order. I lost hundreds over this. Worst customer service ever. read more

Tanya was very helpful & kind. They both work as a great team. I drove 1 1/2 hours to have my luggage repaired and it was well worth it. They did an exceptional job. Thank you read more

I have been a client of Shoe Repair ETC for the last eight years and have come to love both the fine work that they do as well as the owners, Tanya & Ulysses. They so lots of great stuff for me.... for example they have taken in the shaft of boots for me and I have trusted them completely to work on expensive Hermes and Chanel bags as well as dye suede and put great red bottoms on Louboutins, repair luggage...etc etc.. It is getting harder and harder to find such high-end fine leather craftsman in this day and age.... so run to Shoe Repair ETC. They are AWESOME!! read more

I have been coming here for years and they have always made my husbands and my shoes look brand new. So, recently I brought a pair of my daughters favorite wedges to them that she has had for 7 years and she was ready to throw in the garbage. Well it was AMAZING how they brought them back to life!!! read more
