    Results speak for themselves. They were able to get an ink stain out of my vintage Coach bag that had gone through two layers! The bag is now nearly good as new and I can't wait to wear her out! Price was fair given how much work it took to get her to excellent.

    I found a treasure somewhere in San Bruno. A talented Cobbler who fixed my rare Jansport Pleasanton Backpack and Belstaff Colonial Messenger Bag as if nothing happened. Very nice Filipino couple and very accommodating. They definitely know what they're doing.

    Original Hemming in tact.

    Sharing a gem in San Bruno. Perfect length with original hemming, clean place, and wonderful Owners, it's a 5 star place. Check out the photos. Thanks again Dana!

    After- new handles

    I am so happy that I found Jay and his wife. We used to go to our local cobbler in San Jose but the quality was just not good. I found Jay on an online Luxury forum. He came highly recommended. I first came to Jay to repair and replace a button snap on our LV Damier Azure Wallet and Zipper on an LV Sarah Wallet. They were done fairly fast. The next work done was a project LV Sac Souple that had damaged handles. I wanted to use the duffle for my DJ cables, headphones and accessories. Overkill but I wanted to go to gigs in style! I asked him to add some d-rings so I could add a strap. The project turned out perfect. The straps look perfect and he was able to condition and tone the vachetta to match. The d-rings were exactly what I wanted. I now have a vintage duffle that's original and useful. I highly recommend Jay and his wife for all your leather work and projects.

    We are lucky enough to live close by to The Cobbler - they are friendly, efficient, and very reasonably priced. They altered the suit my husband wore for our wedding and helped detail our shoes we each wore on our wedding day. I wanted to add holes for bows on my shoes, and my husband's boots were water-damaged with broken laces. In less than a week The Cobbler returned them to us as requested and good as new. Can't thank them enough!

    Torn ankle strap good as new!

    The cobbler was such a life saver! I needed a last minute re-sewing on the ankle strap of my favorite heels that my puppy had chewed up. I needed the heels for a wedding and had gone to another shoe repair shop only for them to say they couldn't get it done for at least 2 weeks. When I called the cobbler, they were able to take in the shoe right away and had it ready sooner than I had asked. The pricing was super affordable and I'll definitely be going back if my puppy gets into any of my other shoes.

    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.
