San Pedro Shoe Repair

Great first impression. Gabriel polished two pairs of my dress shoes from Allen Edmonds and they both look spectacular but the black ones now look particularly awesome.
Thanks Gabriel, I appreciate the fast and high quality service.

If you have quality shoes that need some attention and are looking for a skilled cobbler to do proper work at a fair price, this is the place you should go. I needed the soles of my favorite old Birkenstocks restitched and am glad that I took them to San Pedro. I have several friends with similar shoes which have needed similar work in the past who have taken their shoes to other shops in So Cal and none of the work I’ve seen is as good as the work that I had done at San Pedro Shoe & Repair. Thank you!

I’ve been living in San Pedro for 3 years and never knew this shop was here. I had a couple pair of shoes repaired for my wife and they did an awesome Job!!!
I recommend getting your shoes done here.

My girlfriend and I brought two brand new (over-​the-​calf) boots in to Gabriel. Mine (awesome Frye boots) were a bit narrow to my liking with the right boot even narrower than the left (I loved these boots so much I didn’t want to NOT own them so I thought, perhaps, they could be stretched). My girlfriend’s boots, only worn once, were slightly damaged as we were caught out in the rain at Irvine Spectrum days before (this caused a salt line and darker appearance in the toes of her new boots). We asked Gabriel to stretch both my boots (just a tad on the left boot and more stretching on the right boot). My girlfriend’s boots needed tender loving care to remove the salt marks, buff to even out the «raised» water line, and a waterproofing (at our request). Gabriel took the time to hear exactly what our needs were and explained the process to repair the water-​stained boots, all in a friendly and caring tone. End results: EXTREMELY pleased as my boots fit JUST the way I hoped they would fit and my girlfriend’s boots look absolutely beautiful. Bottom line, Gabriel is competent and very talented at what he does. He’s not only friendly and conveys a caring nature, he listens to your needs and delivers awesome results. We recommend him highly. Now if only he was going to be available to us once we move to our island in WA as everyone needs a reliable cobbler like Gabriel. Thanks Gabriel! :)

Hate cheep shoes so when I buy a pair I make sure to take care of them… well this place is the bomb. my chanel leather boots were resoled and the leather on the worn areas were repaired. He made them look brand new. Gaby nailed it…

This guy is awesome! He made my shoes look like new in no time. Very reasonable price and great service. Highly recommend.

Quality shoe repair! Very talented staff and friendly too. Reasonable and true artisans.

Must go! I was on the fence of buying new leather shoes or having them repaired, Gabriel fixed me up like new! 100% glad… my shoes look fantastic!

My wife had a basic shoe repair which they nailed, $ 10 to replace the pegs/​plastic bottoms (?) on the bottom of a pair of high heels.
The owner was friendly and turned it around in 24 hours, he would have done it even faster if I needed it. Good spot to address your shoe needs.

The owner, Gabriel, was referred to me and is extremely knowledgable about footwear and what the proper needs to your arches and feet are. He must have spent about 20 min just looking at the movements of my feet with the bad orthodics that I got and fixed them! Now he updates them and it’s well worth it! He also has a nice shoe selection based on the needs of your feet and adds arch supports if you want them. Great guy that actually seems to care about your feet and making you better as opposed to the money. I highly recommend him.

Love the repair work gabe did on both my dad motorcycle vest and a pair of heals for my dads girlfriend. Im planning on bringing in a pair of my heals soon. Come to san pedro shoe and see gabe!!!

Gabe re-​soled my favorite sandals and added more cushioning to the layers. Fantastic work and they look new. Thanks Gabe! Bring your favorite leather items in need of repair to Gabe, and if you have an idea for a bag, backpack, purse, or similar item, Gabe can make it for you. Fantastic quality!

This place is great! I went in to have the tips of my pumps replaced. He didn’t have the right size in stock, so he put a smaller size on for free and asked me to return the following week when he had the right size in. I did and he took the small ones off and replaced them with the proper tips. He was fast, friendly, and priced right!

I had a backpack that needed a zipper fixed and at first Gabriel quoted me a price to replace it with a new one at $ 30 which I was willing to pay but to save me money he fixed it and charged me only $ 10! After making the payment I wanted to tip him but he would not take it. Have not had shoes repaired or resoled with him yet… but so far satisfied with his customer service!!!

I brought my favorite pair of heels in because I scraped off the tips of the heels on a crazy night. I thought I would have to leave them for a couple days but the kind owner said he could fix them in the hour! When I picked them up, It was like they are brand new! Thank you for doing such an amazing job!

The best place in Pedro! Gabriel does very great work! All the things in the shops are handmade! He fixed my shoes really quick too. Staff is very friendly. A small friendly place in San Pedro.

A family member went in with a leather day planner that he was ready to throw out from the wear. This man fixed it to being brand new. Amazing work! Two thumbs up!

First off I know nothing about how to fix shoes what so ever. I came in with a pair of my favorite flats, the heels were shot and had holes in both feet. The gentleman who was very nice said he can fix the heels and it would be $ 20. Ok well the shoes were like $ 30 when I bought them but whatever! These are my favorite flats I tell ya! I pick them up and they turned out not as I expected. I feel like the quality of work can be better, it just looks rushed. Im sorry but the heels were not perfectly the same width and the cutting or slicing wasn’t precise.

I have had a handful of shoes cleaned up and reheeled here. Most recently a pair of pricey dress shoes needed new tips, heels and a general polish. The heel and polish job came out as expected, very well done. The tips on the other hand did not. I noticed that while it was indeed glued in very well, the stitching on both shoes that you see visible from the top was not redone completely. It is a purely aesthetic thing, but when your shoes cost as much as these, you are obviously concerned with aesthetic. So I called the shop and advised them about what I saw and was asked to bring them back in. I did so, and was told that since I only paid for tips that’s how it goes. That they were glued in properly, but that I could pay to have some stitches put in to finish off the look. That it was not very noticeable.
Why would I need to pay for stitches if these were removed by the shoe repair shop? I’m not one to make a scene in a store, so I thanked the shop owner and left. I am disappointed that after many successful visits this one did not go as well as I had hoped. This shop can do good work, however the last time I went in the job was sub par and I was not offered a solution I felt acceptable.

Gabriel is really kind person and takes time answering any questions you may have about any of the work he does for you. I had my Gucci purses maintained there. Prices are affordable.
