Benton shoe repair is a Simi Valley treasure! Jack is an old world craftsman who repaired and restored two purses for me and I couldn't be happier. Excellent work, excellent price! Jack sewed the interior fabric of my hobo bag, and restored the leather. He stitched the broken handle of my Dooney and Bourke. I can't tell which handle one was repaired! I'm bringing him a pair of my husband's well-worn shoes, and my Ugg's next. Thank you, Jack you're the best! read more

I cannot praise Benton Shoe Repair enough for the exceptional service and craftsmanship provided! My favorite suede mules were in desperate need of repair, and the cobbler transformed them into something even better than I could have imagined. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Jack and felt instantly reassured by his expertise (see photo album of before-afters on the front counter). He took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done to restore my beloved shoes and then followed through! Jack's attention to detail truly amazed me -- every step was executed with precision and care. He also gave a friendly phone call to let me know he finished early! What impressed me most was his dedication to customer service. He was kind, friendly, and also fun to talk to!

I took in my boots I wear for track thinking that they would definitely need to replace my zipper or wouldn't do it at all since motorcycle boots aren't easy to work on.

I will definitely bring my boots here again and any other shoes I have! read more

I needed a pair of shoes shined, and Jack quoted me a price at front which was only $15, and he gave me a little ticket that said what date the shoes would be ready and what time to come in. He's friendly, kind, and I feel I got a good value for my money. He's definitely more affordable than another show repair competitor in Simi Valley so I feel more than happy coming back to Brenton's shoe shop again. read more

Jack is always very helpful and nice ! He helped fix the heal of my boots very cleverly and didn't charge me an arm and a leg ! Highly recommended!!! read more

Fantastic service. Met with a very friendly welcome into the shop in hardly no time at all. I had some old leather boots that I didn't know were worth repairing at all since I had bought them at a Goodwill for about 8 dollars. The proprietor informed me they were in fact genuine leather and that the heel that had come loose was an easy fix for him. About a week later (my choice as I was in no hurry) I stopped by and he had replaced the entire worn sole to brand new, much more then I expected when he quoted me basic repair costs. They are like brand new now, he buffed and polished my second hand store boots into brand new quality. I'm extremely pleased with Benton Shoe Repair and am happy to show off my new kicks and will recommend anyone to this cobbler. read more

I have been to Benton Shoe Repair in the past so when my purse zipper broke I returned. What a pleasant man, fixed my zipper in a minute, took the time to show me what was wrong and how he was able to fix it. He then didn't charge me, just asked if I would submit a yelp review. I am so happy to review his company, a very nice pleasant man who knows his trade and cares about his customers.

Exceptional craftsmanship, Superior customer service! I'm spoiled and I'm proud to be a new customer after ONE visit. Western boots are unique in that they conform to one's feet, becoming more like an old pair of sneakers, but not inexpensive to replace. My oldest pair of every day, suede leather boots needed repair as half the Factory stitching was worn through and the sole beginning to separate. I agreed to new heals and half resole on Monday morning with notice they would be ready Friday. Jack had impressed me with his voluminous Before and After pictures of his work on everything from boots to old white Running Shoes, so I was confident my Tony Lama boots were in good hands. Today I was shocked to see joy 20 year old suede boots BETTER than new! The suede was shaggy where Wrangler cuffs met suede, nearly gone in other spots, and a tad water spotted, generally showing their Classic Age. The suede is uniform and both soles and heals were upgraded making my Tony Lama boots better than when purchased new! Thanks Jack... You are a true craftsman! I'll pick up my black leather dress boots next Friday when I'll drop off other neglected items needing repair! read more

Bring all of your boots, shoes, purses, jackets & hats to Benton Shoe Repair because he does phenomenal work at a great price. I recommend his work to family & friends; and of course, my fellow Yelpers. I brought in a leather purse with a broken zipper and he replaced the broken zipper. He noticed a couple loose stitches and repaired those as well. The leather conditioner he put on my purse made it so supple and nice to look at again. I say give him a call if you are wondering if he can repair something of yours, or make it look new; chances are, he can do it. Thanks so much for giving my purse a new look! read more

My folks bought me these saddle shoes in about 1970. I brought them to Benton Shoe Repair and just look at them! Mr. Jack performed a complete renovation, and even stretched them a bit to fit my now larger foot. I wore them to several (pre-pandemic) swing dances - a big hit of course! He took such care and gave a great price. Take time to hear some of his stories - about shoes and other things. :-) Feels good to support a local business, especially such a craftsperson. Amazing artist, highly recommended. read more

This guys is awesome- the quality of his work is beyond anything I've ever seen. If you love your shoes- he will fix them.

This place is a scam. Do not have your expensive suede shoes cleaned or waterproofed here. They will promise you that they will brush, recolor and waterproof, but they will not deliver. I got my suede boots and the first thing I noticed was they were EXACTLY THE SAME when I dropped them off. The leather did not smell like it was treated with waterproof spray either. All they basically did was brush the leather, which I could have done myself in 2 minutes, and they even made a stitch fray. Yet, they charged me $25 for their nonexistent work. Oh, they also left the soles dirty btw. They could have at least scrubbed those but, no - still the same. Like most service-based businesses on this site with 5 stars, I do not get why this place has such wonderful reviews because I doubt my experience here was a one-off. read more

When My husband and I walked in with a request to repair a strap for my motorcycle boots, he said it was "mission impossible". After we brain stormed possible solutions, he agreed to give it a shot. In no time, while we waited he created a leather strap that works perfectly and even looks very similar to the other ones. If you have riding booth that the manufacturer no longer provides replacement parts for, I highly recommend you give Benton Shoe Repair a try for friendly, reasonable service. read more

Benton Shoe Repair - Four year old boots, just like new! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I had 5 pairs of boots that needed either re-heeling, new insoles and/or new tipping. One pair was vintage 1980's and the others were pricey ones to even less expensive brands but definitely these were my favs and some of my most comfy stylish boots that I couldn't wear because they needed some Aesthetical HELP! I also needed re-heeling on two of my favorite high heels. I found Benton Shoe repair via Yelp and saw the reviews and had to see for myself if this is the go-to place when it came to care for shoe repair! Jack was very friendly, helpful and knowing that he has background experience in shoe design, I felt confident with him doing the work. I told him I wasn't in any rush, to take his time. Within days I received a call saying they are ready for pick up. I did leave a pair of boots which we weren't sure if they were salvageable, and of course those were my most comfy favorite stylish boots for work. I picked up my order and may I say.......all my future shoe repair needs will be take to him. He was affordable and his work is impeccable. He replaced what was needed with excellent quality material and everything was done THE RIGHT WAY! Truthfully, I feel like I went brand new shoe shopping without putting a dent in my pocket. If you need your shoes fixed, get in your car and drive over to see Jack. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Jack for bringing my shoes back to life, I'll be sending all my referrals your way! read more

Very thankful to have found Benton Shoe Repair. I dropped off two custom projects for Jack after 3pm and was able to pick up both completed by 5pm and he had time to show me a few before and after pictures that prove he is the shoe Jesus! read more

Jack is a magician with shoes! I couldn't be happier with the job he did. I took Jack a pair of beloved sandals that belong to a friend. They no longer make them and they were in desperate need of new soles and some serious TLC. We went to several other shoe repair shops before Benton and the prices were unreasonable for what we needed done. They would have eventually ended up in the trash had we not found Jack. He resoled the sandals, cleaned them up, patched up a few holes, and literally made them look like new again for a reasonable price--the best price I could find locally for this type of job. They look so much better than I could have ever imagined!! On top of that, he is quick, funny, and extremely personable. I would highly recommend Benton shoe repair to anyone that has a pair of shoes that they think have no hope. He turned the decaying shoes back into something that can continue to be treasured for years to come. When you go to his shop, make sure to look at his Hall of Fame book. The pictures speak for themselves. His work is truly outstanding. Thank you, Jack! Looking forward to seeing you the next time I need help with my shoes. read more

Brought my daughter's mucked up and torn tall riding boots to be patched and cleaned up. I really didn't want to buy her a new pair. There was a hole worn through the leather on the inside of one from where she would press her leg on her saddle. When I picked them up I couldn't believe they were the same boots! The patchwork was beautiful and was done on both boots. They were cleaned up and shined better then when they were new. Excellent work and pretty good price - I am so glad I tried this wonderful place. Thank you!! read more
