I just took the leather journal making class and I gotta say..... 10/10 highly recommend! For $25…read moreyou make a simple tri-fold leather journal. It's a total steal! They provide the tools and materials and the instructor (Eric) walks you through everything - from drafting a template to making that bungee bind, you walk home with a personalized journal cover AND the foundational skills needed to make more if you like. (Note: that last part requires you to buy your own tools, leather, and such....) Pro Tip: Bring your own journal! If not, they provide one for you (included in the price). I brought my journal because she's chonky. At the end of two hours, I felt like I took something super special home. I loved the class so much that I bought some additional tools to spice up my new cover. Plus, I had elastic cord at home to personalize it even more. Again, I can't say enough about what a good experience this was. The journal class sells out quickly, so sign up ASAP! P.S. Shout out to Eric who was taking care of the shop alone. He had to simultaneously teach and handle customers. I appreciated how patient he was with everyone. He didn't try to rush people and gave everyone his full attention. Plus, the classes ended on time. Bravo!

Took a class here for the first time. I had a great time and my instructor, Eric, was super cool,…read morefriendly, and witty. I took a journal-making class, which is offered twice a month and gets filled up very quickly. There are other "how to" classes including basket-weaving, belt-making, card game case, journal holster, wallet, etc. It's super neat and it's a fun activity to do with other strangers! Price isn't bad and I appreciate how cool everyone is here! Will be coming back for another class.

Turns out, they were definitely repairable and the cost was cheaper than buying a new pair of Birkenstocks. While they did take longer than expected, I was totally fine with it because they were communicative when it the order for my soles were still coming. I would definitely come here again!

This is a special place. Very few shoe repair places left on this area…read more Friendly neighborhood local cobbler. I got my 10 year old shoes cleaned and shined. It isn't cheap, but much better than having to buy new shoes. My shoes were not quite ready on the day of pickup which was a little disappointing. However, I appreciated the staff prioritizing them. Come here to freshen up your old shoes. They repair and all kinds of leather goods beyond shoes including leather bags, wallets, etc. There is also a table full of wallets repaired and cleaned. Most are $65. So not cheap, but definitely a unique item. They even gave me a complimentary pair of shoe laces.

If you can believe it, I had never been to anything beyond a Disney outlet…read more Outlets are strange things to me. They're in the middle of nowhere and their prices are simply less because of this fact? Hm. With this outlet the service was not good. Very hands off, slightly bored. They had some fantastic prices and gorgeous pieces, but I I always worry about the quality, since as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for. I think had I fallen in love with anything I would have purchased, but the only item that caught my eye was a neon pink purse. And lets face it. Even being me, how often would I use such awesome? 4 stars. Wouldn't schedule going there, but if you're in the area and you've checked all the consignment shops for actual quality, yea, sure. You should drop by :D

I needed a boots heels to be replaced. There's not many shoe repair around that does a good job…read more So I came here and dropped off a lot of my boots yhat the heel (8 pairs) was worn out and some scuffs on the tip of the boots. Randall the owner said it would take 2 weeks . He called me a week and half later and when I went to pick it up- OMG! I was so impressed by Randall's work. The heels were replaced nicely and on top of that he shined my leather boots! I was satisfied with my work especially when you love your shoes and don't want to get rid of it bc it still has some life to go. Also, I had a really bad scuff on the tip of my mauve color boots and he said he tried to polish with a similar color but boy! It doesn't look noticeable at all. He was able to cover it. I will come back and bring my other shoes too.m because Randall's work is very detailed. Thank you!

I have so many of my grandma's vintage shoes to bring in and know that I can trust them to do a great job on every single pair. Is it expensive? Yes, a bit. But are you paying for skill? Absolutely.

Had an absolutely top-notch experience at Saddle Shop! I needed to pick out a new pair of boots for…read morean upcoming trip to Houston and couldn't have picked a better place. It's a locally owned shop that has been a staple in San Carlos for decades--not some massive, impersonal chain. Supporting a long-standing local business like this makes all the difference, and I'd much rather spend my money here where the quality and personal connection actually matter. The store is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and stocked with an amazing selection of Western wear. The highlight of my visit was the older lady assisting customers--she is genuinely the sweetest person you'll ever meet, knows the inventory inside and out, and keeps you laughing with a great sense of humor. Thanks to her help and the store's fantastic collection, I didn't stop at just the boots--I ended up walking out with boots, belts, and a Saddle Shop logo hat! If you need quality gear and world-class local service, this is the spot. I'll definitely be a returning customer!
