I went to glue a heel and was quoted 10 dollars and then when I arrived the price changed to $15 for glue of one shoe. I had been a costumer for 30 years and I am sorry they have lost my business very unprofessionally read more

Amazing quality! It's a bit pricy but they've been around for so long and the quality more than makes up for the price. I took a pair of boots into to be re-wrapped on the heel and it took them 1 week and they look like new now! read more

Very good work, with a quick turnaround. I brought in a pair of shoes to have the leather soles replaced with rubber. They came back looking great. read more

Angelo's Shoe Repair - Shoe Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So....say you have an addiction for buying shoes on ebay. And say...you happen to love those shoes so much that you wear a hole in the bottom. Angelo's is your savior. I just picked up a pair of shoes that I wore down to ...well, to my own foot. I was reluctant to throw them out, so I took them to Angelo's on a whim. Angelo and his wife spent 15 minutes going over each thing that needed repair and how he was going to do it. I picked up my shoes...and have a virtually new pair. EXPERT work and EXPERT customer service. This is the kind of work that is hard to find and once you find it, you never want to let it go. This is honestly the best work I've ever had done on a pair of shoes and I'm digging in my closet for everything else that needs work. read more

Angelo saved my beloved cowboy boots, the ones I stole from my mother's closet, the ones with the snakeskin toes. Once they were in my hands they didn't come off of my feet for a while, and I walk a LOT. Apparently I walk enough to wear down the heel on some legit cowboy boots made in El Paso to the point where the nails become visible. So I brought them in to Angelo, who took them in his hands, inspected them, and nodded appreciatively at the quality of craftsmanship before showing me everything he would do to fix them. He asked for a deposit of $20 upon dropoff, the remaining $25 when I picked them up, and took less than a week to fix them. When I picked them up they were better than new, with rubber on the entire sole, a rebuilt heel, toe & heel plates, and on top of all of that, he conditioned the leather. Thank you! read more

They are shoe butchers! I've got so disappointed with them that brought my old unused yelp account back to life just to write this review. I had some simple alternation to do do on my pair of shoes, something that I could have done myself, but I was stupid enough to think that professional would do better job. Alternation required removing thread on part of the shoe and restitching it back together - that easy. How shocked I was when I went to pick up my shoes! What they did looked like child's job. Stitches were totally out of line, In fact instead of running them trough the holes from old stitches, they put new next to it. And they didn't even bother to match thread color (which was black) and used light grey thread instead, so it was even more visible. When I complained, guy just said "if you like it black I can change it", but I refused and took my poor shoes out of there. Just didn't want them to touch my shoes anymore and they obviously couldn't done any better anyway. I regret not taking pictures to post before I ripped it all and fixed it myself. Took me few hours but looks great. Why did I doubt myself first place? Lesson learned: If you want something to be done right, do it yourself! read more

Took in some Frye boots that cost $280 for sole protectors to be put on....work was excellent and clean, cost was $35 which is a little pricey but worth it for these loved boots. read more

See all

Outstanding shoe repair shop from another era. The mom and pop team that runs this place treats you like family. I was waiting for them to feed me, but unfortunately that didn't happen. When you bring in a pair of shoes here, they take the time to explain everything that they'll do to make your shoes looking new. If they don't think the shoes are repairable, they'll let you know. But they throw caps on everything, so it's rare that your shoes will reach the point of no return. They're not the cheapest in the area, and they're certainly not the most expensive. But regardless of price, their craftsmanship is fantastic. read more

Step in to this shop and back in time - superb service from the friendly old couple who run the place. read more

Angelo's Shoe Repair - Shoe Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went to Angelo's because A) it's got great reviews, B) it's only a couple of blocks from my apartment and C) I have a penchant for family businesses run by little old couples. Angelo and his wife are seriously the most adorable little old couple on the planet. She seems to be the more communicative of the two and he seems to do the actual repairs. I had two pairs of boots repaired - new heels. They cost me $15 each and Angelo required a $20 deposit - cash only of course. They came out well enough, not perfect but for the price, I'm happy with the work. The downside is definitely the hours. They are open Monday-Saturday 10am-5:30pm and they don't seem to have a phone. I dropped my boots off on Saturday, as I work normal business hours so weekdays are totally out of the question, and they were ready the following Saturday for pick-up. All-in-all a pretty good experience - would recommend. read more

Angelo and his wife are a dying breed here in the States. They are in their 70's and do repairs of shoes with care and love. Angelo has a passion for shoes and really knows his craft. Both husband and wife are always a pleasure to do business with. I've taken several pairs of shoes to them in the past few months and they are the first to tell me if what I want really needs to be done or if there is a less expensive way to do it. They are honest and hard working people that charge a fair fare for their work. Their hours are 10AM - 5:30PM Monday -- Saturday. read more

This place is awesome, I've taken in several pairs of boots and always been super happy with the results and grateful not to have to go out and buy a whole new pair! read more

Can't say enough about Angelo! He cares about shoes, about getting it right, and about making the customer want to come back! Went to Angelo's today to see if he could help me with a new pair of sandals where the strap kept falling off the back of my heel making it hard to walk. He fixed them while I waited and added taps to the front so I would stop destroying the front of the sandals when I trip which I do all the time. I'm sure he undercharged me. As mentioned by other people he and his wife are very friendly although I probably wouldn't go in there when I was in a rush as his Italian accent and english is a little hard to understand but since I had the time, I spent a very nice 20 minutes chatting with them! read more

I was very pleased with Angelo's. I compared prices by walking into several other shops in the area and asking for an estimate, and Angelo's was the cheapest. Cobblers in the area generally jack up the prices- I appreciate that Angelo's has an honest & fair price. They did a great job of repairing a ripped seam on a leather purse and had it finished in under an hour. The man working the shop was straight-forward, friendly, and efficient. I will definitely return for future repairs. read more

They shined my shoes and did a great job. Customer service was great. Very friendly. Mazel tov

I brought two pair of really expensive, irreplaceable shoes to Angelo's. I had worn them down to the point where I wasn't sure they could be repaired. I asked Angelo if he could completely rebuild the shoes (implicitly inviting him to charge me a lot of money for the rebuild). He declined, suggesting a different and much less expensive way to repair them. He said it would be safer than taking them apart completely, and that we could always try that later if the interim measure fails. He did it his way, inexpensively, and I am totally happy with his work. I figure I can now get at least a couple more years' wear out of shoes I had almost given up for dead. I'm a fan of Angelo's. read more

Have expensive shoes or boots? Did they wear down to the point where you wanted to throw them out? But you spend so much money on them that there's no option. Well, there's hope. Why not take it to a shoe repair shop. I was searching the neighborhood for shoe repairs and I stumbled on this hole in the wall place in Park Slope, Angelo's Shoe Repair. This is the reason why somethings in life are still necessary, but like any old technology they tend to become obsolete. Sad ain't it. Angelo (the owner) is one of the most friendliest customer driven individual in Brooklyn. He would have a nice conversation with you, and becomes familiar with the customer. This place also screams 1950's nostalgia, I felt like I traveled to another place in time.The whole look of the place is vintage old Brooklyn nitty gritty. His price was only $35, which was pretty cheap, but he told me the next time I see him, he'll give me a discount. Angelo, is a great person and has great skill, (he was a shoe maker in Italy) he made my boots looked as good as the day that I bought them, but more enhanced, he restitched them shined them and even threw in plastic caps so that they don't wear down as fast. Thank God for Angelo's Shoe Repair and the next time you think of throwing away that expensive shoe or boot, think about places like these. Better yet, go give Angelo's Shoe Repair a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

When I brought my boots (2 pairs) into Angelo's, there were seriously 4 holes in each sole. Like, literally could not wear them in the rain cause my foot would be soaked and I looked crazy. I finally (seriously 6 months) took them in and decided Angelo would be the one to do the job. And I am so happy that I did. I have purposely been walking in puddles and snow this past week to see if the work he did was really that good. It really, really is. It's not really cheap, persay ($80 for 2 pairs), but the outcome makes it totally worth it. If any of my shoes need repairing (and lord knows the way I walk in my shoes, I will definitely have shoe repair in my future) I will bring them to Angelo every time. Him and his wife not only provide excellent customer service, but the work is just phenomenal. read more

As many other reviewers, I am super pleased with the job Angelo did with my boots from last year. They look like new! $18 sure beats buying a new pair. What a sweet couple too--very nice and kind. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Fast and reliable service, so far so good. They used high quality leather soles for my loafers.

Brought a pair of shoes here to get polished and they did a pretty good job. I'm not sure if I was impressed enough to come out of my way to go back. That being said, if I was in a pinch I would go back. read more

I took two leather handbags in for repair and cleaning. One looked like a totally different color than its original taupe shade, and the other had a ton of scratches and needed new hardware. I am super tough on my bags and shoes, unfortunately, and really needed a good repair place. Angelo's restored both bags beautifully - my expectations were exceeded when I picked them up. They were good as new! I look forward to taking some tired old soles there for repair as well. If they do half as good a job as they did on my bags, I'll be happy:) Also, the guy was really nice. Always a plus. read more

I brought in three pairs of my wife's shoes for basic repairs. Two pairs of high heels needed worn out heels fixed and one pair of boots needed some glue where the sole was coming off. They said to come back in four days to pick them up. When I returned, they had a bit of trouble finding the shoes (no big deal), but they had not begun repairing any of the shoes! They offered to do the repairs right then, which would take 25 minutes, but I opted to come back the next day since I didn't have time to wait around. They did a good job repairing the shoes, but having to wait so long for a routine repair job and having to come back twice to pick them up was not great. read more

While the work was fine, it is cash only. When I went to pick up a handbag and pair of shoes that had been repaired, they couldn't find the shoes. It took a little while and as I watched, I could see they're really unorganized. I don't want to risk losing good shoes or a handbag. That's the whole reason I have things repaired! read more

I brought a leather bag that I once thought of throwing away given repair could be pricey and often not worth. Reading all the reviews by yelpers here, I decided that I would give the bag another chance. Since I was uncertain our communication went well or not, I did not get my hope too high up. After two days, however, the bag was nicely resurrected and I was impressed by their delivate care and craft(wo)manship. read more

You can't really find a good mom and pop store these days. Angelo's is the exception. They're so awesome! I think it's ran by him and his wife, and I presume they're from Italy. Angelo just took a look at my boots and was like I'll fix this and this and this and I thought maybe this guy was trying to scam me out of all my money but he made my booties look brand new, and way improved. All for $20! Definitely go there for your shoe trouble. He'll make them brand new again. read more

I love these people. They were honest about a pair of boots that weren't worth fixing (two other places had "fixed" these f***ing boots already, and did a shoddy job, argh!) and they clearly know how to care for and mend your beloved footwear. Go here! read more

Excellent service. Quick personal, attentive. He resoled my leather boots that were on their last leg, and now they're as good as new. Highly recommend to anyone in the South Slope area. read more

I have been very happy with Angelo's. So far I have had three broken sandals repaired, which can be tricky, and a pair of boots. There is a small wedge on my boots and he worked insane magic on the heal tips and cleaned up the surrounding leather that looked destroyed. I am so pleased. The prices are very reasonable and he is very quick! read more

I am fond of this shop but cannot figure out their hours. I've now gone by 3 times to pick up my shoes and they are always closed. What time do they open? read more

Took a gorgeous pair of designer boots for a zipper replacement on one of the boots. He said he would find an exact match to the original zipper so that both boots would continue to match. He put in a zipper that was noticeably the wrong shade of brown. The zipper was the visible, not covered type, and it ran the entire height of this knee length boot. It looked bad and to make it worse, the stitching wasn't even straight. He told me I had to get the other perfectly fine boot's zipper redone to match his messed up one. He yelled at me when I refused to go along with getting a 2nd zipper which I shouldn't have needed had he done a better job of matching the zipper in the first place. A better shop would have responded by telling me he couldn't find an exact match so here are 2 new zippers instead, the 2nd one is on me....right??!!! If you care about the quality and appearance of what you bring here for repair, go elsewhere! read more

Tips, resole, and shine for a pair of boots came out to $32. I wish the color of the sole had matched my brown boots a bit more but that's me being ocd. They did a good job and by all accounts the price is reasonable and cheaper than a lot of places. . read more

I found Angelo's on Yelp & the reviews were dead on. I signed up to Yelp just so i could write a glowing review. My boots were in bad shape & they were restored to almost mint condition for 40 bucks. I had payed that same amount to have the work done the year before & the repair lasted 6 months tops. Angelo & his lovely wife aAngelina were so lovely ! I had to wait 10 days ( seems everyone wants him to fix their shoes ) to get my boots back but it was well worth it. Thank you Yelp !! read more

Stay away if you have expensive shoes that need any work! This review was long past due. I brought in my brand new Valentino rockstuds flat for them to put on rubber soles. When I picked them up a couple of days later, one of them had a big glue spot on the side of the shoe! Needless to say I asked them to fix it. They tried using a cloth to wipe off the glue, which did not work. At that point I was a bit nervous since I saw the coloring of the patent leather come off on the cloth. They said come back in a day and we will get this resolved. Day after the spot looked 10 times worse than the day before! The glue was still there and the spot was discolored. I was fuming, the guy was like sorry we will send it to our "better" store to get this fixed. I decided to give them one last chance so I left with my sunken heart. On the final day, it looked better, at least under their lighting, however upon further examination at home, it was definitely off. I think they put some coloring on it which is not a complete match for the shoe. I will never trust my shoes to this place again!!!! read more

Angelo's Shoe Repair - Disaster on my shoe!!! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've brought them two pairs of shoes to date and gotten both back not just fixed, but vastly improved upon. Expert work and my shoes look and feel fantastic (and even with my shoe-destroying Sasquatch gait, holding up beautifully). Angelo and his wife are super friendly, and they also do mending. Lucky for me, I have some busted up clothes in need of a needle. read more

Dropped off a pair of really cheap heels (that are my favorite pair of heels and love more than any of my expensive ones) that were worn down almost beyond saving. I figured it was just the end and I'd have to come to terms with that. But when I picked them up, I couldn't believe that they fixed them and they looked great! Also very reasonably priced. read more

When I read the reviews I had to go to Angelo's and when I met the man he was incredibly sweet and seemed to know his craft, asking lots of questions about what I wanted and making suggestions about what would work best. I totally trusted the guy. Two weeks later I came back for my shoes. Oh man! His work was so bad i thought they weren't my shoes. Then i saw he had glued on a patchwork of plastic pieces on the heel to fill in the gap where it had worn down. The plastic pieces don't even match up so there are holes in the heel and he hasn't bothered to sandpaper down the edges. It looks like an amateur tried to build a stone wall with plastic. Why didn't he cut the heel even and build it back up? That would have been way neater and probably far less work. He did the same with my boots. And the soles have been roughly cut. At nearly $70 I expected proper craftsmanship. Real pity. read more

Discovered through YELP. They do a great job. The prices are low; they are creative in solving shoe problems and the quality of the work is excellent. Best shoe repair I have ever used - and I am in my 60's. read more

I am so impressed! I took my precious, well-worn leather boots in for a repair on Friday morning. The shop fixed my destroyed heels, the messed up leather on the heels and a broken zipper by Monday afternoon. All that plus a thorough cleaning was $75. Everyone was also very nice. Definitely worth it! read more

I love this place. I've taken probably 6 pairs of leather shoes in over the last few years, both men's and women's. He always does a great job. I once brought in a pair of men's dress shoes that were about 10 years old. He made them look like new. I was amazed. Very affordable too. Great! read more
