    Beginner Tooling Class took about 2 hours
    R R.

    I had no idea this place even existed and I've been to Fremont Hub a million times. I came to do a leather tooling class and I was very impressed. The employees were super friendly and helpful. During the class, the instructor Alex, was attentive, respectful, and patient with all the newbies like me learning a new skill. I really enjoyed the class and can't wait to return for another one. They had lots of supplies and variety of tools. Highly recommend!! The tooling class was free and they have other classes for a very little fee compared to other leather classes that charge hundreds of dollars. Again, if you're new to learning leather craft, you should definitely stop by this place.

    I have a Shinola wallet that had severe water damage. I went to this store to find a leather dye to try to conceal the damage. Cami was so friendly and knowledgeable. She recommended a leather gel dye, instead of acrylic leather paint. She recommended that I embrace the patina. She even offered to dye it for me!! She spent 45 minutes with me, cleaning it, conditioning it, dying it. I offered to pay, but she did not accept. Such a wonderful neat shop! I highly recommend this store for all your leather needs. I didn't think small niche stores like these existed anymore. Customer service is 10/10.

    September sale! Such an amazing deal. I wouldn't mind taking the whole pile home- made in Italy.
    Venna Q. T.

    Every time I go here, I can't leave without having purchased something. That's bad news for my credit card, but so much fun for me. Having graduated from fashion school and a love and respect for leather, this place is a candy store for me. I told myself that I would just stop in while running errands. But I'm always here for at least an hour! It's not that I'm browsing their entire selection, which is vast and caters to any leather project one would have, but I'm trying to figure out which hides I want. Some day, I'm going to be an elite member and I'll be able to pay those amazing discounted prices on all of their products. But until that day comes, I'm more than happy shopping during their sales. Actually, I feel that they always have something on sale that I want. It's jut a matter of if I'll really be able to use it anytime soon. One of my biggest regrets was not buying a stingray hide. I don't know what I would turn it into, but their hides are like a flat, flexible jewel. And until I purchase an industrial or leather sewing machine, I'll be sticking to the lower count ounces of leathers. Not that that is even a problem, as that includes goatskin, deerskin, and pigskin to name a few. I left the store today with two designer goatskin whole hides. The embossed patterns are so unique, I know they'll look great regardless of what I turn them into. I'll be spending the next few days dreaming about the rest of the designer goatskins that are only $14.99 a piece right now. And no, it's not a typo. And yes, there is a huge assortment or gorgeous patent goatskins. I hope I don't end up going back this week. Someone else buy them all and give them a good home so that I don't have to! I never catch the names of the guys who help me, but they're always helpful without ever being too pushy about assistance or product. Very knowledgable too, if you have any questions about leather usage. I'll be back. Hopefully not soon. Maybe. ... !

    I have never written negative feedback for businesses but my experience with this store was so bad that I have to let others know to be aware of this store's practice. When I bought a piece of leather at this store on 2/23/19 (my first time here), I asked about refund policy and the cashier said I had 60 days to return if it's unused. Today 3/9/19, I brought the piece back for return, expecting a usual smooth return process. To my surprise, the store manager denied my return stating that she does not take return of discontinued item. It didn't matter that I mentioned what the cashier told me purchase, or the return policy printed on receipt about 100% satisfaction guarantee for 60 days, she repeated the same no return on discontinued reason. The item i bought was not discontinued when I bought it. There was no mention of "discontinue" or "clearance" or "not returndable" or "sales final" anywhere on the item's tag that I purchased or printed on receipt. There are a few bins clearly tagged with clearance/final but the one I bought was on top of the main 2nd table isle along with other leather are only on 'sale'. I went back to the leather stack to double check if I was mistaken. Nope, the tag still doesn't have any indication that it's a final sale. However, the suggested retail price was largely inflated to show a large sale discount (When I bought the item, Retail price:42.99, bought for $35. Now, Retail price:89.99, sale 19.99). The manager came over and said she didn't have to put any indication that the items are not returndable. I'll never do business with this store again. I'm just starting out the hobby and there would be plenty more transactions but if a store manager doesn't hold up to what I was told verbally and printed policy for a meager purchase return, the store doesn't deserve my business.

    Do you offer leather garment cleaning services per chance? I have a beautiful black leather jacket that was gifted to me and seems there is minor makeup residue on the collar and shoulders - don't want to scrub at it for fear of making it worse...?

    HIGH SCHOOL REUNION SHINE…read more When I went to the Men's Wearhouse to buy an attire for my high school reunion one of the sales associates recommended either a black dress shoe or casual shoe with my attire. I looked at the black casual shoe, which I preferred over the black dress shoe. I also liked the price. However I wasn't sure how often I would wear the black casual shoe. At home I had a pair of black dress shoe and black casual shoe. Instead of buying a pair of casual shoes from the Men's Wearhouse I brought these pairs to A-1 Shoe Repair for shoe shining. I went here about one week about my high school reunion. When I asked about my black Florsheim dress shoe if I can add a heel protector, Randall stated due to the condition of the heel he would need to insert a new heel that costs $15, which I didn't want to pay. I then asked him how much for a shoe shine for both pairs of shoes. He said $40, which is less than a pair of casual shoes I was interested at the Men's Wearhouse. I dropped off my pair of shoes. The day before the reunion I picked my two pairs of shoes. I liked the shine on both shoes. I think overall the shine on the Florsheim stood out more. I decided to wear the black Florsheim dress shoes for the reunion not because of the shine but I felt those shoes were more comfortable to wear than the black Nike casual shoes. Overall I'm glad I came to A-1 Shoe Repair for a shoe shine for my two pairs of shoes.

I would venture to say even hard core vegans…read morelove the smell of leather.  Back in the day my partner was always taking her shoes here for new heels.  Girls and their heels!!! When working in the city I would sometimes drop them of at places there just for convenience but nothing as good as The Cobblers. Not only a shoe repair place but a store for boots, work boots, hats, coats etc. I even stock up on Shoe Goo here for my Merrill running shoes with the sole that can't be replaced but was told it would be more expensive if they did it so just get the Shoe Goo. This place has been around since the late 50's and run by the same family.  Shoe repair is an art that won't get taken over by AI. The only thing that will put a place like this out of business is disposable shoes and clothes.  We are not there yet for the nice stuff. So once again my partner needed heels on her boots and since nothing local it's of to Hayward. $20 up front and a few days later boots look as good as new. New heels and all polished up. So for the ladies not sure if ya'll in the clackety heel camp or the more cushie no clack camp, but they have both. My partner is in the clackety camp. You can get hear her coming on a tile floor a mile away. So not just heels but resoles and all types of repairs. There is free parking on the street and in the back. Go there, it'll be great.

They have excellent selection of shoes, western wear, leather, etc. Most importantly - they do repairs and even full rebuilds of shoes, boots, high heels, etc. I have a pair of duty boots for the fire department (Chippewa brand) that I purchased from them 20+yrs ago for the community college fire academy. After 15 or so years of daily wear and abuse, the Cobblers rebuilt them - and it was as if the boot were brand new!! I had a pull tab / loop tear off on my expensive ostrich skin western boots; they repaired it & it looked brand new. They are also INCREDIBLY skilled at re-soling shoes & boots. I have another pair of western boots, that I wear for outdoor activities; hunting, fishing, camping. Not only did they rebuild them to like-new, they installed an "aggressive" sole, so now I have a pair of western slip-on cowboy boots, which have a pair of hiking style off-road soles!! They work absolute magic at this place! Particularly for your leather shoes / boots, don't throw them away... Take them to the cobblers, they'll make them as if they're brand new!!

I wish they would have giving me a quick run down of what they were going to do to the boots. Not cool walking around with half tan half brown boots. They charged $35 for this color scheme. They messed up my Thorogood boots. Not a cheap boot. I don't recommend this place.
