This place was recommended by a friend and absolutely delivered. They saved my favorite shoes, ones that you can't replace since they just don't make that quality any more - and for a small fraction of the cost of replacing them. I'm very thankful. Five stars! read more

The Colony Cobblers is an institution. I've been in this area twenty-five years and the shop has changed hands once during that time. There was no interruption in impeccable service and artistry from one owner to the other. The delicate detail and skill involved in working with exotic leathers and irreplaceable, heirloom shoes, boots, belts etc is not lost on the current craftsman/owner. I began to understand early on why people drive to The Colony to get repairs. We are blessed to have this rare service in our area. read more

This is a 44 year old caiman Lucchese (made in March 3rd 1981). Mr. Aguilar was able to widen, restore, and replace the sole so I can continue to enjoy them. Just look at the photo, craftsmanship speaks for itself! Highly recommended! read more

Been looking for a quality shoe repair shop, and finally found it. Great service, so glad I found this place!

Went in with an issue on a new pair of boots. The gentlemen let me know he would try and rectify the issue but couldn't guarantee it would work. Honest pricing. read more

resoled my boots, did a great job for reasonable price. Will bring my business back when I need some more work.

I have a very old pair of T O Stanley anteater boots that I haven't worn in years but needed them shined up nicely for a western themed wedding that I am going to in CO next week and after some research I came across the Cobblers and they are very nice and capable and they have a lot of beautiful boots and skins there! They also took care of my wife's boots- we will undoubtedly have the shiniest boots at the party! Great place!! read more

The quality of work and service was amazing. The owner was so sweet and charged so reasonably for my shoe repair and did it while I waited. I definitely recommend this for any shoe or purse repair. read more

I recently brought in a pair of Nocona Bull Hide Boots purchased 35 years ago. Probably beyond saving And after many years of fallen arches a little tight in the toes. But to my surprise they have been returned in almost new condition. And my feet are so comfortable. High praise for the work! read more

I received great service and a quick turnaround time when I had a handbag and shoes repaired. I highly recommend this business.

My first time going here and went based on reviews. When I walked in the owner didn't even smile or say hi. He had the biggest attitude with me. I smiled and explained what service I needed. I had 1 pair of black shoes that needed new heels. He mumbled and finally said to pick them up 3 days later afternoon. 3 days later I came to pick up my shoes. He again was not friendly and explained he didn't have my shoes. Then he said I told you to pick them up today? I handed him the tix he wrote up. He went to the back and found my shoes. He then asked me to stay 15 mins while he worked on them He had them for 3 days, not friendly at all, gave me the biggest attitude and had me wait while he did the worst rush job on my shoes. I do not recommend. read more

I had an unexpected business trip and my favorite shoes I wanted to wear needed to have the heel fixed rather quickly. I called the colony cobbler's and was able to pop in and they were able to fix my shoe while I waited!! Great service, great highly recommended using them! read more

I've never left a review for anything. I was compelled to leave a review for this one. I brought in a brand new pair of boots that needed stretched for better fit. When I picked up the boot, I didn't notice the liner was missing. Only realized it when I had to wear it for an event. I went back to the store to let him know, but he completely denied that he might have forgotten to put it back in. He charged me another $20 for a new set of liners that was honestly his mistake. I'm not really mad about the money but the fact that he put the blame on me, was super argumentative, Hostile unprofessional and rude about it. I mean why in the World would I on purpose take the liner out of my own boots, drive 30 minutes back to the store to pay $20 for new Liners. Super unhappy with customer service. read more

I have been bring my wife's shoes to have them customized her right leg is shorter then the left. It's hard to find a place that does custom work at a fair price. The owner always has time to explain the process and what needs to be done. The quality of work has been top notch. Highly recommend. read more

I believe this is my 2nd review in 10(+) years of using yelp. Hopefully that's a bit of an indication on how impressed I've been with their service. Bottom line: if you're within a commutable distance and need a cobbler, look no further; you've found your people! You will be the plug for anyone needing cobbler services!! read more

Angel has had my 3 pairs of sandals for over 6 months and is unresponsive to all of my calls. Not only this but I have paid for a service I have yet to receive. Buyer beware. read more

Last year, I was looking for someone to mend two pairs of boots. I hadn't worn the one but 1 time. The heel fell off. I dropped them off and they made them look amazing. He told me the manufacturer put the heel on wrong. I was pleasantly surprised by the price. He was really friendly and knowledgeable. I love that they make custom boots on the premises. I fell in love with a turquoise pair. Today I had some pumps that needed repair. Within 10 minutes, I was out the door with shoes ready to go. I was so happy he could help me so fast. I drive 35 minutes to use their service. I trust him. I know he knows what he's doing! So grateful to have found this boot & shoe repair place. I'm so glad to have found an honest, friendly, competent, affordable shoe/boot repair place. read more

I can't say enough good things about The COLONY Cabos I've had the most amazing experience time in time and time again I have been going to the M a little over a year now and I've yet to have a disappointment I don't like anybody else to work on my Christian Louboutin's anymore read more

I AM BLOWN AWAY by the incredibly fast and immaculate service by David. I dropped off a pair of boots to be resoled, and a new Justin boot to have a zipper put in it on Tuesday. I explained I needed them on Thursday, meaning NEXT Thursday and David called me yesterday to tell me my items were done!!! I felt horrible for the miscommunication on the dates. But, BLOWN AWAY that he'd accomplished my order. Just picked the Boots and I cannot stress how beautiful of work David did in placing the zipper in my boot. My left Ankle is fused and doesn't bend, therefore forcing me to put zippers in my cowboy boots. He literally hid the zipper. I will NEVER go anywhere else to have my cobbler services filled. THIS is why you shop local, your local merchants listen to your needs and care. When I told him I was sorry about the wrong date. It was "okay, you can break them in." CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!! read more

Great Service. It was quick, simple, and very helpful. Stretched my boots and made them so comfortable

Wonderful place with a mom and pop shop set up. Super nice owners that can fix anything, pretty much. I go here to get my wedge boots and shoe soles and heals repaired. They do an incredible job in a very timely manner. They have such a great work ethic, this is why people always come back. You would love this place. Go check it out! Lots of cowboys boots lined up from one end to another. Great little treasures in there and great services! read more

Great service. Great explanation. Great timing. Completely redid my boots that had been worn to the end. Holes..... Now they're brand new again. read more

I have brought Angel all sorts of footwear to be resoled and they all come out spectacular!!! Best cobbler in the DFW!!

Once again I have to say how amazing this shop and its owner is. My husband had a Tumi backpack that had a broken zipper. He took it in and by the time he picked it back up he couldn't remember which zipper had been broken and neither could the store owner which is quite a bit about the quality of work that is done there. He's done several repairs for me but when you have expensive bags like Tumi how wonderful is that that you could take them in and have them repaired to the point where you can't even see what was repaired instead of making another expensive purchase! Hands off the best cobbler shop ever! read more

Had an old leather purse my wife needed the snap on button replaced. They replaced it with a stronger button and cleaned up the leather. Totally worth it. It was a tough job as they had to unstitch a lot and put it all back together but they did it and they they a great job. read more

In moving to the area I needed a new cobbler. I was use to this particular store off Mockingbird in Dallas and was nervous about finding someone close to home that would rival in experience/attention to detail. Well, I think I've found the one that, perhaps, if I ever move BACK to Dallas I'll drive up to The Colony to use. Small store front nestled back in an un-used shopping center located on the corner of Paige and South Colony. If you drive toward the center of the long "L" shaped shopping center you will find this store on the right of the Dollar Store. I first took five pairs of high heels that need the ends to be replaced and a few heels needed mending. I was impressed upon the return that not only did they replace the stoppers with high quality stoppers (slightly higher ones, too!) they matched the color of the stopper with the sole of the shoe (tan with tan and black with black) which I have NOT gotten done elsewhere. I also "tested" this location with a pair of my designer shoes that had a soft leather wrapped heel that I had unfortunately torn up. Not only did they wonderfully replace the stopper but corrected the leather they best they could to the point they look new again! I was so pleased with their work that I took in a pair of good riding boots to have resoled and can't wait to get those back. All in all it cost roughly $30 for five pairs of shoes to be mended and the duo that runs the shop couldn't be nicer. I had these five pairs ready in a week and was so pleased! read more

So glad Yelpers helped me find this place. They are complete professionals and work wonders with leather. And other kinds of shoes. Took 3 pairs of the Giant's shoes for resoling and came away with three pair of nearly new shoes! Also discovered they custom-make boots! OMG! Can't wait to get my very own custom pair. read more

I am so happy I found them. I took one of my favorite pair of leather boots in to get the counter part of my boot fixed. I couldn't quite part with it yet. I think they did a great job for a reasonable price. They also got it done pretty quickly and cleaned them up for me. It looks a bit darker in the picture cause they just cleaned it. But it lightened up again and now look amazing. My boots will probably last me another year or even longer thanks to them. It definitely looks better than it did before! Again, thank you so much! :) read more

The Colony Cobblers - My repaired boots before and after! :) - Shoe Repair Near Me - The Colony, Texas

The people here are friendly enough but that's about the only good thing I can say about my experience. I took two pairs of Allen Edmonds dress shoes in to have them resoled and polished. I got them back and one of the pairs had multiple black spots on one of the shoes which definitely weren't there when they were dropped off. I asked about it and they said that I had probably spilled something on them... when they had been in his possession for the previous 4 days... and they were clean when I dropped them off... Hrm. After a bit of coaxing they took them back and got the spots off so I figured everything was fine. I got both pairs home and started looking them over again and found dark black lines down the sides of BOTH pairs. They are not overly obvious unless you are looking at the shoes closely. However, these are $300+ pairs of dress shoes and it ticks me off to no end that someone who supposedly works with shoes every day will give a pair back to a customer in a worse condition than when they were brought in. This "cobbler" may be good with boots but DO NOT take nice dress shoes in here. read more

I have been going here for over 30 years....Dave made me RattleSnake Skin Belts for my Grooms Men way back when. Still in beautiful shape. He not only repairs shoes but makes them as well! He took altered a pair of shoes for my daughters Ballroom competition ! His wife does clothes alterations as well. Quality work ! Inexpensive! read more

I must admit I was more than impressed with the results of my repair. Full soles and rubber caps for the heels of my boots. He does amazing work. I could not give a better rating! On a scale of 1 to 10 he gets a 20.. read more

Amazing work and very reasonable price! I'm def coming back again and again! There are not enough mom and pop shops like these anymore. The best quality and attention to detail! read more

Best in DFW and David treats everyone as if they are family. Prices are fair for the level of quality you receive. If you want true custom boots this is your place. There's not much they can't do and they've been in the business for over 30 years and the entire staff comes from a family of cobblers and seamstress. His wife is so good at alterations it's crazy. I've used 5+ tailors in dallas and she is hands down the best! read more

Love to support small businesses but I am not going back here. I bought a small item that I needed bound in leather. Very small item and should have been a job completed in a day. I was told to return the next day and upon my return the item was not completed. The cobbler asked me to come back in a couple days. I obliged and returned in a couple days, my item was still not completed. Finally, I called several days later and the item was lost. I had brought it with me all the way from West Africa. Thankfully they called me back in a couple days and told me they found it. Apparently I think they were going through management changes. The new owner then proceeded to charge me full price for the item, no discounts or anything for my time wasted and their tardiness. I decided to give them another chance and was disappointed again. The new owner overcharges for simple fixes. Seems very money hungry. Your best bet is to go elsewhere. read more
