Bob’s Shoe Repair

I could have sworn I reviewed this place, but I guess not. Originally, I would have given them four stars, because the job was done pretty quick. But they didn’t accept credit cards, and even though they told me they were going to be open on a Saturday, they weren’t.
We all have that pair of shoes. Fits perfectly, comfortable, has your foot molded in exactly the right way. My boots. As with favorite shoes, parts of them need to be replaced so that you can keep wearing them. With mine, the soles started to go. It seems the pickings for shoe repairs are getting smaller and smaller, less people doing this type of business.
They guys were super nicer and friendly and assured me it was no problem, they could fix the heel, which was coming off, and fix the front soles, which were worn down. $ 30 for both soles and the heel. Okay, seemed a little bit on the pricier side, but what do I know about fixing shoes?
Well, it’s now been a little over a month, and my shoes are started to fall apart. Well, not the shoes themselves, but the soles, the part that was supposed to be fixed. You know, the reason I brought them in, in the first place? While the heel is still holding up (although for how long, I don’t know), the front sole on the left shoe needs some serious nailing because the glue is not holding up. The right one is starting to peel too. I don’t wear these boots in the snow or rain, I don’t wear them everyday, so this is ridiculous. My boots should not be falling apart like this less than a month after they were fixed.
I’ll update this if they agree to fix my boots (again), but right now, I am NOT happy with the job they did. My boyfriend now has to bring me a pair of shoes for us to go out tonight because I can’t walk around with the sole of my shoe coming off.

I have heard about this spot. And I finally went to their place to get my boots heels fixed. They did a good job.
The only thing is in my opinion they are slightly expensive but besides that they did a good job. I’m happy with fixed boots.

$ 15 to wash a pair of UGG boots. The second time I went there, I lost my receipt so the owner or the person who actually repaired my shoes looked for my flats one by one in the crowded warehouse. This is definitely the best place in the neighborhood.

I’d give this place 5 stars if they accepted credit card. The guy we interacted with was so friendly, made the time to engage in discussions about various shoe repair options, reasonably priced and good quality. Since this was my first time getting shoes repaired in the area, I wanted a comparison so I went to the shoe place at the Newport mall. It was the exact opposite experience making my decision pretty easy to go to Bob’s. He did a great job and would highly recommend. Just bring cash!

Nice, friendly people. They did a good job on my shoes, will go back to them.

Had a belt shortened (almost while waiting): workmanship is okay (stitching was not exactly like the original, used black thread rather than brown) but the price was fair.

My pair of Italian leather sole shoes have been through it all– rain, snow, daily commutes– etc). They were hopeless. Bob was able to replace the shoe and polish them up so that they looked almost brand new. And at a reasonable price and within 2 days. They’ll be my go-​to from now on.

Had my precious new tall leather boots stretched instead of going through another horrific day of breaking them in. Worked like a charm! Plus, he willingly accommodated me again (no charge) when I realized I needed them stretched some more after walking with them again. Bob is a very nice guy too!

Bob’s shoe repair is two blocks from my new home. So when I needed a little adjustment on a new pair of boots, it was a no brainer to try this shop. The quote was $ 40 to alter the back scuba material on a pair of knee high boots to bring the back down one inch and an inch narrower. Dropped off on Saturday, told to return Monday to try on before finalizing. Came back Monday. He forgot to work on them at all. Came back Tuesday. Tried on and ok changes. Picked up Wednesday and discovered not only was nothing stitched back. It was all glued back together and not even all opened parts were glued back. Will never use again and will recommend against using this shop. Too bad since it’s so close and convenient.

Hours are Monday-​Saturday 8:00AM-7:00PM closed on Sunday.
Make sure to ask about the price beforehand there’s no price list posted.

Delligent and modest owner, very responsive to custome needs.
Turns out that the bucklehead was installed inside-​out, and upon reinstallation myself, the belt holes were quite messed up and even broken inside. 5 star to a 3 star.

bob’s shoe repair is wonderful — great work and reasonable prices!
i had to get a heel fixed on two of my shoes (one really came apart), and he brainstormed ideas on how to fix it. i also had to get two pairs of shoes stretched. i was going on vacation so he made sure i would get it back in time. he said come back in a few days to check how the stretching was going. i came back and they both needed to be stretched more. one of the heels was already fixed so i put half the payment for all the shoes on that day. i came back again after a few days and the other heel was fixed as well as the shoes were stretched they most they could be. one pair fit great. one pair was better but not perfect, but he was very honest and told me if i stretched it anymore it would break.
i liked how he was flexible and made sure i was happy but also honest enough to tell me when my shoes were not going to be able to be stretched without breaking at some point. and his prices were great, and he is quite humorous! really enjoyed the experience. i have finally found a place to get my shoes fixed! :)

So happy to find a reasonably priced and reliable shoe repair shop. Bob does such a great job replacing my worn down heels with a quick turnaround time. He was also able to recommend a great upholstry repair shop nearby for me when my couch cushion needed repair. Definitely recommend this place!

So my favorite pair of shoes needed an upliftment. I found this place via the Unilocal app and decided to give it a try. Lately my shoe soles have been scraping off from one side, so I took them here. The guy behind the counter was friendly and he fixed my shoes for $ 20 bucks in one day.
So far my shoes seems to be doing good!

Cheap, good, fast and reliable. The owner is lovely and always does a good job. Can reheel my totally (embarassingly) worn down heels so you wouldn’t even know they were redone. Cash only.
