    Birks that were re-soled
    Katherine M.

    Great quality work! The turn around was only a few weeks and they did a great job. I had a few pairs of Birks that I had worn through the bottom and they look great now!

    online chancel ballet flats BRANDING NOT COVERED DONE BY REPUTABLE COBBLER

    Complete waste of money ruined 2 pairs of 1k dollar tabis and when asked for a refund gave me $40. Took three weeks to do and did it wrong. Places in a NYC will do it in a week and get the cobbling correct. Shipping it over to New York would be quicker. Don't waste your time or money on this place. Also his train of logic was that if "I wasn't going to sell them then it doesn't matter" verbatim. Complete disregard for branding and taste of the shoe is very rookie. No reputable cobbler is taking away branding from a shoe. Included photos on how it should be done and how mine ended up. Disgusting work.

    Before and After
    M R.

    I bought Redwings not too long ago, fell absolutely in love with them, and then was super disappointed when the heel pads wore completely down in three months. Even though they were under warranty, I figured putting the same pad back on would result in more disappointment. I didn't know where to go, no one I knew was thrilled with their cobbler. Swansons was close and had decent reviews so I surrendered my every day boot to the unknown. My boots were ready a week earlier than they said it would be and the pads are exponentially better than the originals. So stoked. They also fixed the visual damage to the wooden heel. They ALSO have a great selection of laces and I was able to pick up the specific length laces my boyfriend hadn't been able to find for his boots elsewhere. They not only fixed but improved what were already my favorite boots. Thank you thank you!!

    Immaculate Work! I broke my heel right off my vintage boots and the repair is so good you can't even tell it happened. I really appreciate that they walk you through everything they plan on doing so you know what to expect. Thank you for saving them!

    Good quality repairs on my shoes with a relatively reasonable turnaround time. I'll keep making my way here for my shoe repair needs.

    Great to see shops that can still fix things so you just don't throw them away or go buy new ones. Recommend them for all things shoes

    They were able to fix a zipper broken in my sorel boot. I was so worried that it was not fixable. They did an excellent job.

    For a pair of 10+ year old leather boots, they replaced the heels and polished them. They look brand new now!

    Easy peasy! Fixed the sole of my Tom's wedge in a couple days for just $10. Was an easy problem to fix, but the service was great!

    Everything fit well except the fact that I couldn't get the zipper more than 3/4 of the way up my calf.

    DISAPPOINTED AND RUINED SHOES. I wish I read the reviews as a saw the pictures before I came here…read more My experience was the same... the soles for a pair of wedges and new heel for my boots didn't match, were crooked, and he shaved off a piece of the sole (he said accidently) and didn't even bother to fix. I'm all for supporting small asian businesses but omg- it looks like an amateur worked on this. I can't believe this is business exists. They originally wanted $100 ($50 for each) for 2 pairs- new heals and slight paint job where the heal was scratched, overpriced in my opinion. This didn't include polish, or scratch removal. They have me 50% off. Botched job that I'll need to get redone.

    If zero stars was an option, that would be my rating. I took my (pricey) heels in for what I…read morethought was a simple heel tap replacement. The heel taps were indeed replaced. There was a little bit of damaged leather at the bottom probably as a result of prying off the old one, and the heel tap isn't perfectly centered, but nothing too obvious so I let that go. What WAS obvious however, were two brand-new ink pen marks on the ivory leather. I let the owner know that was definitely not there when I dropped them off (these are almost brand new - see the soles) and he completely brushed me off and refused to take responsibility. I asked if he could get the ink off. He said no, and just walked away, refusing to continue the conversation. I will never use this business again and would warn anybody to stay away, unless you don't care what your shoes look like when you get them back.
