This cobbler is the BEST! I have a collection of vintage footwear (that I actually use!) and REFUGIO CONTRERA is a master craftsman! He keeps ALL my shoes of ALL BRANDS looking as good as new - and that lengthens the life of the shoes, so he's actually helping to save money by not having to replace shoes so frequently! [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a bonus, Mr. Contrera's customer service is excellent - he is a genuinely kind man, in addition to being a talented one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For any kind of shoe/leather repair (including handbags, etc) head straight to C&F Shoe Repair! read more

They're a small shop which is fine with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I brought my shoes in. Explained what I needed. She agreed in what I said.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Leather shoes are expensive so I try to fix when I can. (They're work shoes). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway I told her when I needed them by to get back to work and she then had both pairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She got them both done in the week I had. They were beautiful and looked brand new again. I paid up front. No hidden costs and I had my daughter pick them up for me. When needed. I'll definitely go back read more

I brought in this pair of Nike golf shoes to C&F Shoe Repair. They were expertly repaired and hand crafted by Refugio Contreras. I couldn't be happier with his work. Not only do they look sleek and stylish, but the level of comfort and support they provide is outstanding. The fit is impeccable, and it's evident that these shoes were crafted with precision. The traction they offer is top-notch, giving me confidence in every swing, even on damp or uneven terrain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]These shoes have definitely elevated my game, and I can't recommend C&F Shoe Repair enough for their exceptional craftsmanship.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great job, Gracias Refugio! This was almost 2 years ago! Still holding up![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

C & F Shoe Repair - Shoe Repair Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

I recently had an 11 year old pair of Fly Fishing boots that Orvis said could not be fixed. I took them to C & F and the owner took one look at them and said he could fix them. He crafted a replacement front toe and re-glued the soles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner kept me updated on the progress when I called.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upon picking the boots up I was blown away at the high level of craftsmanship on the boots. They looked amazing and I could not tell the difference with the replacement toe. Both boots matched perfectly!! I just came off the river after 9 hours in the water and the boots held up great!! I highly recommend C & F for all your shoe repairs. Thank you C & F!! read more

I brought two pairs of my 25 year old cowboy boots to C and F Shoe Repair, one to be resoled and repaired and one to be polished with new heels. I am so happy with the work done at C snd S. Refugio was extremely accommodating and did a terrific job repairing my much loved boots! I would recommend this place 100%. Carolyn, Dutchess County read more

Too many people toss their shoes rather than just put on new heels or new soles when those items wear out a but it is so much more environmentally friendly to fix them. This place does a great job and they stand behind their work. Small little shops like this are disappearing because of our throw away culture. I like that fact that places like this exist and make it worthwhile to spend a little more buying higher quality shoes and then bringing them here to have them for years read more

This shop is great! They replaced the heel tips of my favorite high heel shoes and did a fine job of repairing a tear on one of the heels that I thought was beyond repair. read more

I have had a pair of almost new hiking boots that one of the rivets broke. I brought them to C & F and they fixed it fast and well. I'll be bringing my shoes here from now on. read more

They made my dirty black shoes look like black pearls. This is my new shoe shining place.

By far the best repair shop in the Hudson Valley. CF Shoe Repair in Poughkeepsie NY is the gold standard of shoe / leather / textile repair shops. Refugio the owner is very welcoming, fairly priced and superbly skilled. I brought in several backpacks, belts and other outdoor gear that had seen much better days. All the repairs were expertly executed. Refugio exceeded my expectations, it was nearly impossible to tell where the repairs were made! read more

The owner was super sweet and very accommodating. He made a new leather stool seat for me out of remnants he had in his shop, excellent results, stiching was beautifully done, and the fit was amazingly well executed to my metal stool base, I could not be happier, plus he charged me a really fair price. This guy knows his business! and I will be taking any leather repairs to him from now on, all the way from Manhattan as he's worth it. Kim Handley read more

I brought my left boot in as I had a hard time getting it on. I wanted the boot leather to be softened and stretched. He said okay; made me pay $40 up front; come back in a week. I did and there was absolutely no change to the boot. He said he did the work, I say he didn't. I did a better job at home. read more

This is an AMAZING SHOE REPAIR! I just picked up 2 pairs of boots that had heels replaced. I am blown away by the excellence of this work that was done! So beautiful and well done! In a world where shoe repair is disappearing and I had to drive nearly an hour to find one, this man is keeping the seed of mastery and craftsmanship alive and well on the planet!Thank you! read more

Just picked up a pair of Florsheim men's shoes that Refugio performed his magic on (had dropped of on Tues, ready on Sat). New high quality rubber heels on each rather than replacing the fake wood trim on the sides. He also had polished them which was so nice! He is a master and has handled high end things for me down to rescuing my favorite TJ Maxx wedges. One thing that sets him apart, is that he will happily discuss what you want done and give you options and fair prices. Love this place and have recommended to 4 different friends who now use him. The only thing about telling people about my secret place is that the word will get out and he will be too busy! read more
