Dino K Shoe Repair & Alterations

Left 3 pairs of plants to be altered. Estimate was 30 per pair. Went to pick up pants. NO ALERATIONS DONE, but THEY STILL TRIED TO CHARGE ME! Come to find out, they said the work couldn’t be done… but I spent 40 minutes a week earlier getting them pinned! Total, total rip off. NEVER USE THEM

Great service, excellent price!
Had favorite shoes resoled and reheeled, look as good as new!
Fast service too!

I can’t believe I found a shoe repair and seamstress under one roof! I found the shop a little difficult to find. I called the store and he graciously guided me to the location, right next door to Hickock Fabric facing Custer Rd. it’s a little Mom & Pop operation. She is the seamstress and he is the cobbler. They were very pleasant and professional. I left a pair of pants to be hemmed and was given a two day return date. Which I thought was pretty good. He unfortunately was not able to help me. I wanted a particular type of heel to replace the heel on a pair of fancy dress shoes. He didn’t try to jack me around. He was honest and direct. He couldn’t do it, because it would compromise the integrity of the shoe. I was disappointed. However, I was very impressed by his his honesty. He obviously cares more about the customer and the possibility of a return customer rather than making a few bucks and having an unhappy customer. The service they provide is a lost art. We live in a through away society. It’s very refreshing to hear someone say, We can fix that. It took me back to childhood. My father knew everyone. We didn’t get new shoes every time we thought we should have them. My Dad took us to the Shoemaker. The men who provided that service took immense pride in their craft. Dino displayed that same kind of pride. I have lots of purses, shoes, pants & Skirts that need some TLC.
So glad I found Dino & his wife. You can bet I’m going to keep them busy!!!

I was recommended to this place, but they did the «bait and switch» routine. I dropped off four skirts. They told me that three of them would be 17.50 (because they were pleated), and one would be around 12 because it was an easy fix (not lined). I just needed them taken in one inch on each side. When I went to pick them up, two of the skirts weren’t done because «they were too hard.» Give me a break. A real tailor would have done the job, and if you can’t complete what’s expected then you should CALL your customer to tell them that you’re unable to process their request. This is a basic courtesy of customer service. When I went to check out, they said the skirts were $ 21 each! I argued and the arrogant woman laughed and spoke something to the man in some form of what I presume is an Asian language. I will never use this place again, and I have (and will) continue to tell everyone and their dog how rotten these people are.

If it requires a needle and thread they have done it for us. Alterations, some easy, some not. Shoes, boots — just about everything that could be done to them. Replaced zippers on boots, luggage, zippered bags of all types. Always reasonable. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

45 bucks for half leather soles on my loafers was done in 1 hour. fast and inexpensive. friendly owners.
theyre across the parkng lot from the dps, so you can potentially kill two birds and get your shoes done while you renew your registraion

They did a wonderful job fixing the soles on my boots for very cheap! They look new again !!

Very good service with some simple alterations – hems, the waist of pants and a broken zipper. I look forward to taking more items to them. Highly recommended!

Dino K’s saved my boots! One of the zippers on my boot broke and I was very sad as these were a pair of handmade italian leather boots. Needless to say the $ 26 for the zipper replacement was well spent!
The stitching is perfect and the turnaround time was manageable.

Since moving to the DFW Metroplex four years ago, I have had no luck in finding a decent cobbler. After reading other Unilocal reviews, I made a road trip to Plano. (FYI: The shop is on Custer N of Parker not on Parker as the Google Map and address would suggest.)
When I dropped off my shoes I got the warm fuzzies… There was one guy before me getting some heels replaced and a lady with the female tailor. After dropping off my shoes and explaining the issues (2 – 3 minutes), when I turned around to leave there were SIX people in line behind me! How often have you walked into a mom-​and-​pop service establishment and had eight people in the store at once?!
Upon picking up my shoes a week later (remember, road trip), I was very satisfied with their work.
$ 42 to fix five sets of $ 100+ shoes: (1) glue down separating welt of one, (2) replace toe skids on a pair of stilettos, (3) replace heels of another, (4) fix peeling faux wood-​grain heels on pair of high heels, and (5) darken and polish a pair of faded, brown Ecco. The only thing they couldn’t fix, which they told me up front, was the rubber soles on a favorite pair of Merrick.
$ 42 was EXTREMELY REASONABLE and all the fixes were impeccable! For example, rubbed my finger along the edges of the old base to replacement heels and spot on – and however they did it, they didn’t nick the existing heel base.
I have found my new cobbler… and he is worth the 90-​minute road trip!
Thanks other Unilocal Reviewers!

I got a pair of women’s boots repaired here, and I’m happy. They were affordable… only $ 15. They repaired the heels, which required some kind of filler because they were wrapped in leather and had holes in them, and then added rubber to the heel tip so I wouldn’t slip. Also, they glued down a little tear on the side and added color to the tips of the boot. They aren’t back to «new» condition, but I’m pretty sure that can’t be expected of even the best shoe repair places. I’m not very familiar with shoe repairs, but I would say they are great for the price!

My parents & I have been coming here for well over 15 years & the quality of service has always been top notch. They don’t charge an arm & a leg for the variety of services they provide which goes a long way with me.
So, be sure to try them out at least once… you won’t be disappointed!

Always reliable tailoring work and other small things I’ve come to appreciate. Whenever I’ve needed a pair of slacks to be taken out, their work is always accurate and even. Same for cuffs and hems also. But then it wouldn’t be any other way, they’ve been in business in this same location for a LONG time. In fact it’s hard not to laugh at some of the shoe polish, brushes, and other items that have been on the shelf for ages. I picked up some laces a couple years ago, the year 1979 was printed on the back, no lie. Anyway, what counts is that their business is service and it’s all good at that.
This is also the place where I found out about taps, those little pieces of plastic you nail in the back of the shoe’s heel to keep it from wearing out. This is very helpful for anyone who doesn’t want to shell out for a new heel (or sole). 2.50 with a 5 minute wait and I am up and out.
