The bag was ready for pick up after a 3 week wait because the coating needed time to dry. It looked great at pick up and my husband is very pleased with the work done. I thought the price was very reasonable for the service. They also sent a text message when the bag was ready which is great communication on their end.

The reply thoroughly explained what needed to be done, and provided a quote for the work we needed…read more The price they quoted was reasonable and they recommended that we only do the front of the shoe now and the heel as it deteriorates, to save us that expense at this time.

I always feel weird calling a person who fixes shoes a "cobbler". It sounds so archaic. And yet,…read morehere I am, preparing to tell you all about my favourite "cobbler". Nope. Still doesn't sound right... Ok. So Jericho Shoe Repair is by far my favourite shoe repair shop in the Kits/Point Grey area. Friendly service, great pricing, and if you tell then you need your favourite shoes back ASAP, they'll do what they can to fix them within a day or two (they tend to get pretty busy there). Bonus: They also cut keys there... PROPERLY!!! I highly recommend this place. Cobbler. Nope. Still not liking it.

I like to wear heels. A consequence of combining this with my love of walking places means I've…read moreoften worn through the rubber stoppers on the end of my heel spikes. No problem, $8 and an afternoon at the cobbler always fixes them up perfectly. I took a pair of shoes to have re-stoppered (?) to Jericho Shoe Repair last year. The elderly gentleman did a quick repair and I was soon click-clacking my way around the office. Ten days passes and I start to hear that quiet tap of metal on tile that accompanies a worn-through stopper. I inspect the shoe to see the rubber has completely worn through. In 10 days. Having repaired a dozen pairs of shoes in this way over the years, I've never had a shoe fail on me so quickly. The runner-up clocks in at about three months. Something was obviously amiss so I returned with my shoes to Jericho Shoe Repair and explained that the shoes had barely been fixed before the right one had worn through again. Having seen an "if you're unhappy tell us" sign on the door, I was looking forward to a quick resolution. Instead, the cobbler presented me with a LAMINATED article about how terrible it is to walk in heels and then lectured me about how much weight was impacting on the heel when I walked. Firstly, I expected some kind of resolution. Instead I got a spiel on the thousand pounds of pressure I was inflicting on that heel. I left unhappy. Let this be a warning to others lest you too want to be served with the laminated, anti-heels article.

Recently, however, I moved out of the hood and into Kits, which opened up a whole new can of local shops and businesses for me to explore. There are some Dunbar entrepreneurs, however, that will forever have my heart -- and my business. One of these is Gold Star Show Rebuilders. Forget diamonds. Shoes are THIS woman's best friend. Which means I have A LOT of footwear, and like to take care of it. Gold Star is one of those reliable, friendly places you know you can depend on for quality service at a great price. I know this because, when one of my precious pairs is beyond repair, the staff at Gold Star lets me know, rather than pretending my lovelies can be saved.
