I was recommended to this business to fix a zipper on a large suitcase that I was about to toss. The owner was friendly, and the price was very reasonable. It took a few days, and he did a great job. read more

If Mr. Byrum ever used to care about the quality of his work, he doesn't anymore. Maybe he is tired of doing this after 50 years. Maybe the quality of his work has always been bad, but he has enough customers who don't know any better. Maybe, he is incapable of recognizing how bad his work is. I recently took a pair of brand new leather boots and a pair of lightly used, clean and conditioned leather dress shoes that have satin laces to get a rubber half-sole applied. Not only was the work done extremely unprofessionally, but my boots and shoes were returned dirty and stained. The half soles on the boots are uneven. The bottom surface of the shoes was excessively and unnecessarily removed behind the half-soles on both pairs, but especially the boots. The brand new heel on one boot was even damaged on the corner! The cherry on top were the black stains left on the satin laces of the dress shoes. I can't buy replacement satin laces in the correct shade of green anywhere to match these shoes in case the stains do not come out. When I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked for a refund, I was met with denial, refusal, and responses of, "I don't give refunds, that's how I do everyone's shoes." He took no accountability. He charged me $130. I would not bring anything that you care about here, unless you want to pay to have your possessions mistreated. If he can't respect your shoes, he can't respect others or even himself. Sad. read more

I just picked up a bag that I dropped off for repair and I couldn't be happier with all of the repairs and the final product. From the start of the process, Lance was communicative, straightforward, and the consummate professional. I emailed him with pictures of what needed to be done and he got back to me right away. I'm thrilled with the repair work that he did and will be bringing many more things to him in the future. read more

I marred my expensive, soft leathered shoe cap after a very first wear. I wore these newbies to a fancy restaurant and the table footing razor-cut the beautiful soft leather right over the toe cap. I was REALLY bummed and the blemish was very noticeable and bummed me out. So, I researched shoe repair services and this shop was recommended by Yelp. Well, this recommendation was SPOT ON. The owner fixed whiled I waited, it's barely noticeable now and the cobbler was kind, professional and didn't even want to charge me! He said it was an "easy fix." This kind of service isn't something I even thought was offered any more! Well, I insisted on paying him for the repair, told him I was going to recommend him to others and will now ONLY take my leather goods to him in the future. I've never met this man in my life and I feel like I just made a friend :) read more

I wasn't sure I could replace the closure piece on my purse without too great of damage to the overall design. They were able not only to replace the closure but improve the security and design of my purse. read more

I had a couple repairs there, repairing the sole and fix the chips at the toe. The shoes look like brand new after he did them. Great work! The price was reasonable - I would rather spend $40 to $60 than spend a couple hundreds to get a new pair. And the repair hold up really well. read more

I was so happy to find Byrum's for quality leather repair. Excellent work on my Jimmy Choos, etc.. I highly recommend!

Work was done quick, very reasonably priced and boots looked amazing.Can't recommend enough.

If I could give this business 10 stars I would. I'm extremely happy with the quality of service and the price for getting four pairs of my shoes cleaned. I'm not joking when I say this, they actually look better than when I bought them new. I love the attention to detail, especially re-lacing each pair of shoes perfectly. I am definitely going to use Bynum's Shoe Service again. I highly recommend this business. And I will say this, the gentleman who took my shoe order and did the service (Lance), is a true gentleman. Do not take your shoes anywhere else!! read more

I'm so happy with this company. They re-heeled 3 pairs of shoes for me -- timely service, and great work.

The repair to a backpack was done very well and delivered as promised. The store repairs shoes, bags, luggage's, etc, a service that is very much needed. read more

This place is in a little strip mall in Malvern. They are extremely nice and they did a great job Resoling my loafers at a good river

I stopped in to drop a pair of my mom's pumps to have the heel replaced. I only bought one heel and didn't realize that they needed both shoes. I returned with the second shoe and the owner was able to be replaced in less than 10 minutes. It was quick and very inexpensive as I've been other places that charged more for the heel to be replaced. Thank you for offering great customer service and great prices. read more

My husband has a needlepoint on leather belt that was made by his mom years ago that needed to be lengthened. I called two other places that told me flat out "no", they wouldn't/couldn't fix it. Thankfully, I reached Byrum who suggested I bring it in so he could take a look. No problem..he was able to fix it and did a beautiful job. I highly recommend bringing your repairs to him!! read more

Well that was a flop. I wasn't greeted upon entering the store and when I was I didn't necessarily get a warm and fuzzy hello. I came in looking to replace the soles of high heels I own, he looked at the shoe for probably 10 seconds and told me it was impossible to fix that was just the shoe. When I told him I couldn't "bare any weight" on the shoe he looked at me like I was stupid and gave me the vibe I was wasting his time. Anyways happy I did not give him my money. read more

I had a pair of vintage boots that needed sole replacement, so I reached out to ask about pricing. They were responsive and helpful, and my shoes look amazing! Great price, too. Definitely will go to them again. read more

Byrum's repair service is wonderful. Highly recommend for multiple repairs in addition to shoe repair.

$25 for a shoe shine...that's one pair of shoes. The work is satisfactory, but absolutely insane pricing! I highly suggest visiting other establishments. For example, an establishment in the King of Prussia area offers a similar quality/level of service for $10 per shoe shine. read more

I had my mom drop off a pair of heels that had lost their rubber bottom on the heel and antrum fixed them within days and also patched up some knicks in the heels as well. It was very affordable and he did a great job! read more

I'm never the type to write a bad review but I am Unsatisfied with the work that was done to my Christian Louboutin shoes.. These shoes are originally 700+ I asked him to put on Vibram on my soles.. He did that and he scraped off my patent leather on the sides which is impossible to fix, he got paint on my patent leather, glue in my patent leather, and painted my soles poorly. It looked like he rushed because the paint is a different color than my original sole color and very uneven.. He is a very kind person but I am very disappointed on how my shoes turned out.. I paid 75 dollars for this and now I have to dish out more money to fix this.. read more

This is a gem of a place located so tucked away from all the other stores and behind the strip mall that it's so hard to find. I posted a couple of photos here but I don't think they do enough justice to show the simplicity of the place. That said, Byrum was amazing. I was looking for a place that I could have my leather shoes cleaned and brought up to perfection and Byrum did just that. My shoes are now perfect just like the day I bought them. I found that he also does leather bags, so I'm going to bring him my leather purse which I so like but can't use anymore since it's all faded. Hopefully Byrum can restore it for me. read more

My luggage wheel was damaged in a recent move by Reliable Delivery of San Diego and this was the third time I've used the bag. I tried a few places at my destination with no luck. I called Byrum's and he said bring it in. I'm so very happy I did! My luggage is as good as new! Thank you so much for your excellence and pride in your work! read more

The best in the business!! I've taken multiple high end shoes to these guys and everything has come out better than I could have imagined. Prices are extremely fair and there's always a quick turn around time. I trusted them to help me with my grandmothers suede coat after doing several shoes and it ended up being a quick and easy fix. read more

Awesome job! Brought him boots I've had for years that I love and they now look like new! Reasonable pricing and friendly service.

Consistently great service. I've been coming here for the last 10 years & my father was coming here back in the '80s. I've had everything from restorations that brought back some of my favorite shoes from the brink to basic cleanup & polish - and the work has always been perfect. I would highly recommend. read more

The best of the best leather repair at reasonable rates with courteous and professional attention. Highly recommend for difficult repairs and incredible reconditioning of all leather be it shoes or an antique valise. You can trust them to do intricate work as well as easy projects. read more

Took two pairs of boots (one combat, one harness) in to get them resoled and also got vibram on the combat boots. The wait time was two business days and they came out looking like new and polished. Would highly recommend Byrum, couldn't have asked for better service. read more

Awesome service! I needed one pair of heels replaced and they were able to service me immediately. I only waited at the most five minutes. I drove here from Downingtown, which is quite a hike but I saw that the store had great reviews, so it was worth the drive. Thank you! read more

Great for boots. Took my favorite irreplaceable heeled black leather Dansko boots in for a new zipper expecting a wait time of about a week and was asked what time *the next day* I'd like to pick them up! They were done on time, beautifully cleaned up and waterproofed, and the zipper is better than the original one! Their pricing is on par and very reasonable for their high standard/quality of work. They also do same day service one day a week, which is amazing. Byrum's is now my go-to shoe repair. read more

As has been mentioned, a bit hard to find, but completely worth the (slight) trip off the beaten path. Go into the inside area with the Asian market, turn left at the first hallway, and the shop is down the second hallway on the right side. Byrum himself was very courteous to me and did a fantastic job fixing both my shoes and my suitcase. The work was quality - I didn't think the torn nylon strap on my travel backpack could be repaired but Byrum "triple stitched it" and it's as good as new. He also fixed up my Bostonian shoes with a new insole and "tongue pad" to help them fit better, gave me some great athletic insoles to keep my indoor squash shoes in good condition, and sold me some new shoelaces for another pair of dress shoes. In sum, I was so happy with my experience here. I think Byrum might charge a little bit extra for his services, but he can fix anything and does quality work. I highly recommend his shop for both shoe and luggage repair. read more

I have been using Byrum's Shoe Service for at least 15 years and always satisfied with his quality workmanship and prices. He stocks every type and size shoelace and is very helpful on selecting the correct lace. read more

Byrum's is a real find. Byrum and Lance are friendly and courteous professionals who care about the quality of their work. It is hard to compare prices since it is so hard to find anyone else like them. I travel a half hour just to get there and it is worth it. When they finish your job, you can count on it being done right. read more

Byrum is my kind of guy. I found his shop on Yelp and decided to give him a try. His place is quite hard to find, and you would never know he was there from driving by. I had him stretch a pair of women's boots that were too narrow. He did the job within a couple of days for $20. I also had him add another hole to my husband's leather belt. He was quite pleasant to work with. I've already referred his services to a few friends and coworkers. Apparently he also is a leather worker, who will create custom pieces upon request. There aren't many craftsmen like Byrum left. read more

Well worth the drive! Byrum' s experience and knowledge in shoe repair is amazing. He is such a pleasant and kind gentleman. We dropped off 2 pairs of shoes to be repaired. Heel tips on one pair and new heels on a pair of sandals. Came back 2 hours later and picked up. So pleased! Will definitely be back. read more

I took my favorite Sam Edelman pumps in to have the heel caps replaced. The repair was done super quick and looks awesome, made the shoes look new again. read more

I was charged $30 to shine two pair of men's shoes! You can get your shoes shined at the Philadelphia International airport for $7 each. The shoes were in good repair. Just a shine. Complete rip off by a scheming black counter person. The owner was talking to his friend saying he was getting a new computer. The friend suggested one for $400. The owner said he was spending $1,500. The friend asked him how he's going to do that. The owner said he'll get the money somehow. Then the owner came back with my shoes and said it was $30. I said you must be mistaken. He said that's what I charge. I asked where are he prices? He said it's what it cost. read more

I've been here multiple times, always with a custom request. The work is top notch, the prices are reasonable, and the turn around time is great. If you are looking for one of this countries last remaining craftsmen, look no further. Byrum has repaired one set of leather motorcycle gloves and two pairs of riding boots for me. I will most certainly be back with more. read more

I had two pairs of boots that needed the heel caps replaced. I took them in around 5:30PM on Tuesday and I received a phone call Wednesday at lunchtime that both pairs were ready for pick-up, so I was pretty pleased with the quick service. As another reviewer mentioned, it did cost $20 per pair - but I love these boots so much that the $40 was worth it instead of the alternative of buying brand new boots. He also cleaned up the scuffs and scratches on the heels, cleaned the suede on one pair and shined the other leather pair. Super-nice guy, too! FYI... He only accepts cash or checks, no credit cards. That would be my only criticism, but it won't stop me from going back. read more

A hidden jewel. A bit hard to find, but if you're looking for a man who knows his leather goods, Byrum is your guy. Brought him a filthy light tan nubuck handbag that no one else could clean. Did not want to have to send to specialists in NYC, brought to Byrum. Not only did he do spectacular job cleaning the bag, he did it quickly and Fed'xd back to me when I was unable to pick up. read more

My expensive large suitcase zipper started to separate just as I was leaving for a long trip. When I brought it into Byrum's Shoe Service I had already been told that there was no way to fix it by another Shoe Repair shop. Byrum not only told me he could fix it, he did it in under 24 hours and with a great attitude and superb customer service. Crisis Averted! I promised him I'll be a returning customer. He's saved me from spending hundreds to replace this suitcase, and he did it with a smile. Yes, the shop is hidden in the back by an Asian market, and yes, it's worth finding. read more
