Decided on this place since it was the highest rated cobbler in my area. There's no doubt why it's the highest though. The owner of the store, Mike, was very easy to talk to and was like a hidden trove of knowledge. He knew everything there was in regards to boots, leather, sole construction, you name it. He took care of stretching my campus boots, as well as cleaning/conditioning them and another pair as well. The price was very fair and the care he took of my shoes was far worth it. Overall it was a very great interaction. Would highly recommend this cobbler to any and everyone I know. read more

I had a great experience here, usually Im told that I can pick up my shoes in one week. Fifteen dollars to fix the strap on my sandal and it was ready in 15 minutes. I know that's not always possible, but the other option was next day. This is a warm professional man that doesn't try to rip you out. Its worth it for me to drive out from East Roseville. Thank you Sole Provider! read more

My favorite cosplay heels broke down completely at the Ren Faire! Like the soles disintegrated down to the bare wood below! I love these shoes dearly, so I went looking to have them re-soled, as Dansko doesn't even make these shoes anymore. Voila! Absolutely fantastic workmanship and still cheaper than a new pair. read more

Great service. Fixed my purse strap right then and there. Very good craftsmanship. Thanks!

I happen to walk on the outside of my feet, so my Birkenstocks were worn out on the outside heel. I waited too long, so I was already compressing the cork. I took it here and my Birkenstocks look like new! He built up the missing cork and put a new Birkenstock brand rubber sole on them . I paid $65. I know that seems much, but these are in great shape otherwise and they are molded to my feet perfectly. Taking in my other pair to get fixed. P.S. I took these to some other she repair places and they were a little cheaper, but they are not using brand soles, and no one even talked about building up the cork again. So be careful. read more

Owner was super nice and helpful. I went in hoping he could fix my tennis bag that ripped. He was very friendly and explained what he could do to fix it. Came back in two weeks to pick it up and I couldn't have been happier. Friendly and great service. I highly recommend this place. read more

2nd time customer here. I came to his shop before to fix my brown leather and he did an amazing job. Now I needed to get my watch strap worked on but instead of him charging me more for him to work on it and have me come back again to pick it up. He suggested a product for me to purchase in his store that's a lot cheaper done his labor. He provides great solutions for your leather & shoes issue with great customer service. Highly recommend! read more

Michael is amazing. I have high end shoes that need little things such as heels replaced, heels rebuilt, resoling, etc. He is a master and I drive a couple hours to have him take care of my shoe needs. I would recommend him to anyone. I'm not going to say he is a value but that just isn't something I'm expecting with high end shoe repair. As a tip, because he is a sole proprietor, if you do make the drive and it's long, you may want to call him a few days before to double check he's not taking an off day or some other schedule variation. read more

4/29/2022: I needed my designer purses repaired and cleaned; Sole Provider was the only place within the Tri-Counties' businesses repairing my designer purses-Bally, Paloma Picasso, Gucci. Alright~I'm willing driving to Carmichael in order, having my purses professionally repaired and cleaned plus, pay cash upfront in order, having the repair and cleaning performed STAT. Therefore, I understandably knew repairing and cleaning all three purses would take at least, a month or more due to the minute detailing, the top leather quality, and the initial workmanship designing each purse. All my purses are vintage so, I was informed he would expertly lovingly repair each purse. On June 1, 2022, I picked up my designer purses: Shockingly, all three purses appeared as if, I just purchased them; they all appear BRAND NEW!!!! Whoa~I'm so elated! read more

I brought in a pair of suede boots to have the buckles fixed. At first he said he didn't think he could do it the way I wanted so I said okay do your best and when I picked up my boots he had managed to give me just what I wanted. The price was right and the service was great. He also has lots of shoe accessories and items like inserts and brushes and polish and some custom-made leather items. Thanks for the good service! read more

Took shoes in on two different occasions and was told they could not be repaired. Both times I took to other shoe repair businesses and they fixed them. Most recent was A&C shoe repair in Roseville. They do excellent work. read more

Simply 'GO NO FURTHER' for your shoe and leather repair. Mike provides excellent work and service. Not to mention he is a fine and kind person. I don't give these type of reviews often, but I truly thought you all should know. Ciao...Dave H. read more

Repairs always look amazing! Honest and fair. Wouldn't do one repair because it would be too expensive and they were super honest about it. Other repairs I've had done have been fantastic! read more

I brought in a new pair of boots with leather soles to have sole protectors put on. Price was fair for the job and great craftsmanship. I'll be back when it's time for a resole. read more

Mike is super friendly, honest, and truly an expert in his field. If I ever need shoe work done again, he will be the first person I go to.

The owner is super nice and knowledgeable, he will be honest on what he can achieve for repairs and containing. Be prepared to pay in advance. read more

Mike does amazing work, I highly recommend him. The shoes he has resoled for me over the years have lasted longer than the originals and for much less than the price of replacement. There aren't many full service shoe shops left and I'm glad Mike is still going strong. read more

The only shop I go to for my competition dance shoes . Other paces have no idea what type of sole we need ... Some provider does ! He has helped me with steps on shoes , belts , purse strap repair. read more

Came in hoping to have my boots repaired, but the owner said he wouldn't be able to guarantee his work with the type of soles on my boots. Recommended I just put shoe goo to repair it, since the whole sole was one piece and wouldn't likely last, even with a repair. Really appreciated the honesty and integrity of admitting what he wouldn't be able to fix and guarantee the work. read more

I'm SO GLAD I found this place! My expensive, wear them all the time, "rhinestone cowboy" boots needed resoling. Well actually they needed resoling five months ago. I just didnt know who to trust to fix them. I looked around on Yelp and found a place called "Sole Provider" where a reviewer said "This man is a true Artisan at his craft." That reviewer was sooo right! SP did a great job at a reasonable price. I gave him another pair to fix when I picked up my "hinestone cowboy"s. When I got home my husband saw the work that'd been done on my boots & told me to take his cowboy boots in too! When you need work on your leather goods, go straight to Sole Provider. You'll be glad you did. :) (see my photos too). read more

I brought my 5-year old motorcycle boots in for new insoles, some width stretching, a minor pull strap repair and polish. When I came to pick them up I couldn't believe how great they looked. They looked brand new. And when I got home and tried them on, the stretching really solved a problem that I always had with the boots being tight around the toes. I heartily recommend Sole Provider and will definitely be coming back for all my shoe needs. read more

This was our second visit to Mike at Sole Provider. Wow, we bought several items that were incredible values and received good advice for my work shoes. My wife had looked at a few purses last time and we bought one that was a steal at the price. Also Bought a leather work belt - great deal, a leather toiletry tote and a shoe horn. Will be back again for great service, value and to support our new favorite local business! read more

The best work, the best price, the best service. I don't live in the area but whenever my boots need anything, I'll be back.

This place is amazing! Mike does great work and at a reasonable price. Mike knows his craft and loves his job. This is evident in his interactions with his patrons. I have taken several pairs of shoes for repair and he has always done a great job. Yesterday, I took a designer purse in. He made a minor fix on the spot and did not charge me. He was honest that the item only needed conditioning. He could have charged me $100 to condition the item, but instead, he encouraged me to buy the conditioning cream for less than $10 and he gave me instructions on how to do it. He just made a customer for life! read more

Amazing job! I took in my 5 year old super beat up Birks to replace the footbeds and soles and they literally look brand new! He even polished the straps so at first glance I thought I thought he replaced those too! They look awesome!!! read more

We have gone to this cobbler many times over the ten years we've lived in Carmichael. He's fair and does wonderful craftsmanship. In particular, he has worked on my husband's construction boots, my brown leather riding boots, and re-soling, mending and polishing of other shoes. I highly recommend him! read more

I took a purse in to have the strap fixed. Mike not only glued it back but added rivets to BOTH sides, which means it'll never break that way again. I held onto this purse for years because I love it so much, but it broke shortly after I bought it. He even commented on what a cool bag it is. :) I'll bring all my Birks here to get them re-soled. Highly recommend as he went the extra step with the rivets. read more

Mike does great work. I have brought several pairs of boots in for him to fix. He will give you the straight scoop and has mad repair skills. I wouldn't take my shoes anywhere else. Fast, friendly and reliable service. Top notch! read more

This guy turned my old red wings into a new pair. His resole job was flawless. He's informative and knowledgeable about his products and does amazing work. I will say he's also a very busy shop so like every thing if you want exceptional work you might have to wait. But great things come to those who wait. I love this place I just wish it was closer to me. read more

I have been a customer of Sole Provider shoe repair shop for a few years now. Mike, the owner, has helped me with repairing sneakers (he turned me on to Shoe Goo, which is awesome for fixing a detached sole), and has put heel protectors on my roper boots. But enough about shoes. He has also helped me with three guitar straps! Today I took a strap in for him to stitch. For some reason a guitar strap I bought on Ebay was extraordinarily long. I guess if I was eight feet tall it would have worked, but on a good day I'm not even close. Anyway, I came in and talked with him about it and he said to set it up how I want it and "that's where I come in." He's the one with the industrial sewing machine. I went home, cut the strap to the correct size, pinned it and brought it back to Mike. He was really nice and happy that I brought it in for him to repair. I showed him where it needed to be stitched on both ends and he said, "I'll make it strong." I came back a little over an hour later and it was done perfectly! He knows what he's doing and does excellent, detailed work. I highly recommend Sole Provider. read more

Very nice owner. He put toe taps in a favorite pair of pointy toe flats for just $5. They've really helped keep my shoes look newer. I will bring him my other shoes for repairs and preventative maintenance cause I always wear out my shoes. read more

Brought a pair of boots in that had zippers installed by Sole Provider a long time ago. The slider and stops came off of one boot, and for one reason or another I could not bring them back until just now. Even if I still had a receipt the failure would have been out of warranty by now. Mentioned all this as I dropped them off, indicating I was not expecting warranty work. I was told it would take a week, so a week later I return to pick them up, and he had remembered my first visit, and made the repair on warranty, no charge. He also like my motorcycle. Bonus! I will be returning here for future repairs, this shopkeeper knows how to win loyal customers. read more

I have had two pairs of my favorites and most comfortable heels in the trunk of my car. The heels we're completely destroyed (you should have seen them before) due to my excessive dancing. I dropped my shoes off yesterday with Mike expecting to pick them up in a week or two and he told me he would have them ready by today. I was ecstatic when I walked in and they were not only ready, but he completely fixed them and they look absolutely wonderful. I am so excited to have the shoes back and I'm ready for more dancing. Thanks Mike!!! read more
