    Replaced bottom of my boots comfortable feel brand new and ready for another 10,000 miles

    Great service quality on point and value wise was not very expensive. Definitely a great place to go if you need your shoes or your work boots fixed definitely recommend.

    I'm not one to leave reviews for services that I use, but I'm really happy with the outcome on my work boot resole. Al made my boots feel brand new again, and did a very professional job. Thanks again

    This is by far the only shoe repair shop to give your business. Al is knowledgeable and an expert in his field.

    Excellent customer service! I took my booties here to see if they were worth repairing. They were…read moreonly $50 from Amazon, but they were really comfortable and super cute. Unfortunately, after only a few uses for work, the faux leather started peeling. I really liked them and wanted to save them, especially since I had just bought them, but the owner was incredibly honest and told me it wasn't worth repairing. I really appreciated his honesty and kindness. He was super nice, and I'll definitely be going back to him for any future shoe repairs or issues. Highly recommend!

    **** EDIT**** READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFOR YOU MAKE A DECISION TO BIRING YOUR FAVORITE SHOES OR…read moreBOOTS HERE! Picked up my shoes Friday everything appeared to be amazing. I was so happy. My boots looked great. He cleaned them up nicely. The heels looked great too. These are my absolute favorite shoes, Lord & Taylor. On to Saturday. I was in my shoes for a total of 3 hours. About 2 hous in is when I noticed they were peeling. I was getting so many compliments on my shoes and I looked down and I can see the peeling pieces poking out the side from under the ball of my foot. I contacted Rafi first thing Monday and sent him a text with video. He is taking no responsibility. I feel like he was trying to do a good job. He replaced the heel tips and I believe he used some kind of cleaner on the shoes which caused them to peel . I definitely would not trust this business with expensive shoes! I went here because of the high revenues but I neglected to read the bad ones that include pictures of the workmanship or lack of. Big mistake! I feel bad about editing this review because so many people had bad experiences with him initially and initially my experience was great until I had a problem. Then he got defensive and deflected any and all responsibility. He has offered to try to fix them, at my expense, but I would no longer trust him after this experience and after reading and seeing negative reviews and pictures. ***** Initial Review before wearing my beautiful shoes***** Been sitting on 2 pair of boots and 1 pair of heels in need of heel tips for some time now. Special event comes up and I want to wear those heels so badly. So I went in search of a shoe repair / shoe cobbler. Found the most welcoming individual here at the Shoe Cobbler in Norco. He is friendly. He is fast. He is efficient. He went above and beyond, not only to replace my heel tips but to bring my shoes back to their Glory Days. All in all I highly recommend this business. If you are in need of shoe repair you will not be disappointed. Don't throw those shoes away bring them back to their Glory Days! Hahaha. This is not a paid for review. He stands by his word and so do I.

    I don't usually write reviews however I felt like after reading some reviews i'm not the only…read moreperson who feels this way. I called to ask for a rough estimate for a very simple repair on my vintage Australian UGG boots. The sole was completely intact and had simply separated, so I was only looking for a basic re-glue, not a resole. I understood that they might need to see the shoes in person for an exact price, but I was hoping for an estimate. Instead, the conversation became unnecessarily uncomfortable. I was repeatedly interrupted while explaining what I needed, and the tone of the conversation felt very condescending. At one point, when I explained that I wanted the boots repaired as soon as possible, he commented that it was summer and then brought up having Chanel boots in the store, which felt completely irrelevant to what I was asking and just bizarre?? Almost like he was trying to show off his customers shoes. I was eventually quoted $25 for the re-glue which was also insane but after the way I was treated on the phone, I decided not to bring my shoes in. I understand that a business may need to see an item before giving an exact quote, but there was no reason for a simple pricing inquiry to turn into such an uncomfortable interaction. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be returning.

    Found a hidden gem that works absolutely amazing. He turned my boots and sandals into new and…read moreprotected. Definitely recommend Robert

I brought in some new sandals I purchased online without trying them on so they didn't quite fit right. I asked him if he could take in the strap on the sandal but he said since they were synthetic material and not leather, it wouldn't look good if he took it apart. But he gave me a great alternative with a lift that could be put in my shoe which worked perfectly and at a very reasonable cost! I walked out a very happy customer. And would not hesitate to go back again for any shoe repair needed!

The employee repeatedly called me inappropriate pet names such as "babe" and "sweetheart," which was unprofessional and uncomfortable. I brought in three pairs of shoes, including one pair in a rare colorway that cannot easily be replaced. When I received them back, it appeared that parts of the shoes had simply been spray painted rather than properly restored. The quality of the work was unacceptable. What made the situation even worse was the lack of honesty and communication. The employee later told my husband that additional work had been discussed and completed, even though this was never communicated to me directly. We were also charged extra for services that were never clearly explained. Overall, this business was dishonest, unprofessional, and did not properly clean or restore my shoes. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for quality service or respectful treatment.
