Finding a truly skilled cobbler can feel like a game of chance, but finding one who actually brings your favorite pairs back to life is a game-changer. After striking out with a few other repair shops, walking into Campus Shoe Repair at the Topanga mall completely changed my expectations. Unlike other places where the fixes barely seem to scratch the surface, the results here are both visible and durable--they genuinely make your shoes feel brand new again. It is easy to see why they have been a staple in the community for over 35 years; the craftsmanship is simply unmatched anywhere else in Southern California. A huge part of that experience comes down to Mr. Vik, who has been my go-to guy. He is endlessly patient, remarkably courteous, and has a way of treating every customer like family. If you want your shoes repaired correctly the first time, skip the frustration and go straight to the best. read more

Finding a place that truly cares about quality craftsmanship is rare, but Campus Shoe Repair is absolute perfection. I recently brought in a pair of shoes that needed some serious TLC, and the care and attention to detail they put into them completely blew me away. read more

They messed up my Jordan's and I had to take it to another shoe repair shop for the bad work. Thanks anyways

I brought in a very beat up Fendi Bag that I bought second hand to possibly get fixed. It was distressed, missing a screw on the buckle, and needed a new strap. While it took longer than was quoted, I am very impressed and happy with how my bag turned out. He fixed everything he said he was going to. I'm glad he took the extra time to fix my bag. Thank you! read more

Campus Shoe Repair - the bag after getting it repaired - Shoe Repair Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I entered with a pair of flats that needed a good clean, mostly interior and soles of shoes. Customer service was initially good, very nice man. However upon recieving my shoes after the four day wait period, they were in exactly the same condition . The man claimed they went through a wash and steam process, yet the shoes were *not an exaggeration* exactly how they were when i brought them in. I was told upon dropoff that it was a full clean, so obviously i expected a thorough cleaning of soles and interior as well, especially for the price of $45. If I had known, I would've gone to youtube and figured out how to clean the shoes myself, which I will have to do after this experience and waste of money. After POLITELY explaining my issue to the man at pickup, he lowered the total to $35. But not before scoffing and rolling his eyes at me. Honestly even $35 is a crazy steep price for just throwing the shoes into a washer and steaming them. If you want a job well done, I recommend taking your business elsewhere or just learning how to do it yourself. read more

Top notch quality service. Made my old beaten up Ferragamo loafers look brand new. High-quality craftsmanship, reasonable timeframe, fair price, attention to detail and great service. Did a great job explaining options. Highly recommended for anyone needing shoe repair. read more

Brought in 2 pairs of men shoes for repairs and both pairs turned out great. Happy with the service and pricing.

I wish they would have done a better job on my Gucci sneakers. Didn't do good on the paint job. Not my cup of tea

We got referred to them by Nordstrom and let me tell you. Amazing and glad we found them. I had my Red Bottoms painted and a purse fixed and it was great and They did it fast. We definitely will go back for any repairs. We live in Santa Clarita and will drive to them. read more

Listen! I'm not one to blast a business unless they totally deserve it. If I could give negative stars I would. Call me a snob. Call me OCD. IDC! I TAKE CARE OF MY THINGS! 3 things I hate in this whole universe. LIARS, CHEATERS, AND THIEVES I've been to campus shoe repair 3 times. They came highly recommended to me by several people! Including employees of Niemans and Nordy's. The very first time I had my Louboutin's red sole sealed. Perfect no complaints. The second time I brought my husband's Louis Vuitton loafers to get sealed. He got them back with damage to the wooden heel. Tapered off at the corners and heavily scratched. They offered to shine his shoes and they completely wiped over the silver LV emblem on the side. C'mon guys a little attention to detail would've been nice. And how about let's not be so careless?? We were so upset but quickly realized what can really be done?? Let's move forward. This third and final time sent me over the edge. I brought my Louboutin's in to have the heel tips repaired I keep my heels in the original box. And brought them in as is. In it's original box with my dust bag and my replacement heel tips with the bag. I left them there for a week to be repaired. I come back my dust bag is missing and so is my little heel tip bag. The employee tried looking for it and basically gave me this look like "hey sorry. What would you like me to do?" He gives me Victor's card and tells me call him tomorrow and discuss with him. Following day. Today. I get a call from Victor and he says I sent a new dust bag to the Topanga location. And 6 heel tip bags. Go in and take your pick, or take all 6 if you want... Look I dont want extras I don't want discounts, I don't even want a friggin refund! I just want my things taken care of and given back just as i brought them to you. I'm standing there having this argument with the lady as I'm back picking up my shoes and she says "they'd never remove items out of boxes unless necessary. Like if the shoes were in the dust bag" I'm sorry... What??!!! My bags were in immaculate condition never used. And would I really make a stink if my S*** wasn't missing?? C'mon lady!!! Do I really want to be sitting here arguing over a dust bag?? Normally probably not. But it's the point... These dust bags go for $45 a piece on Ebay and the heel tips bag roughly $15. I started getting so frustrated and explained my bags were near perfect. Not a wrinkle, not one piece of lint. No stains. The drawstrings never pulled. So what does she do? She dumps about 15 heel tip bags on the counter and she says these are all brand new. They all look the same. Take your pick! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT??? So what are ya'll doing? Taking people's dust bags and heel tip bags and reselling them online??? GTFOH!!! I'll never ever come back here for you to steal or lose or ruin my designer things ever again! And people... if you're missing your dust bags for your shoes or handbags after bringing them in for repairs. Don't worry because you can buy them on ebay. Or just let them pull out 15 and take your pick on the nicest one. I'm sure people are just leaving them there for circumstances like this!!! read more

I was nervous to bring my shoes here because of the reviews, but was sent here by the shoe department at Nordstrom (apparently when they used to do show repairs, they sent the shoes to this place; so, it's pretty much the same). My fab and only worn a few times Louboutins look just as good as new, for a very reasonable price. Vicente and Vick provided great customer service and I will go again when I need more repairs. Thanks, gentlemen! read more

Great service and great work. I've had a couple of shoes worked on and the owner is great at what he does. Also very fair prices. Highly recommend. read more

NEVER GOING BACK TO THIS STORE AGAIN!!!!! Unprofessional!!! I went there on the 16th of June (Wednesday) to get me Goyard purse done, at first I was hesitant to do it but did it anyways to see if they are really reliable. The lady said my purse will be ready by Saturday. I came back Saturday afternoon just to make sure they have enough time to do it but when I arrived the guy they cannot find my purse. He called the owner/ the person that was assigned to do my purse and said it wasn't ready. I called the guy to complain because it was really u fair on my end. I didn't receive any call nor text message saying that it's not gonna be ready until Tuesday. I didn't want to make this review at first but when I received my purse I they literally ruined it!! On that Saturday afternoon when I spoke with that guy he didn't have the best customer service either he said that he can rush it, but I told he no because I don't want it to have a bad outcome. He was insisting that the lady even charged me cheaper than usual (40usd) which is not my fault because that's the price she gave me. I didn't ask any discounts or anything and thought it was fair price because all they needed to fix was the handle as it was torn. I told the guy that wasn't my fault but my point nobody from their store notified me that its not going to be ready until Tuesday. He was rude and said I can get my money back if I want to but it's to late because my trip will be on Wednesday and I am using my purse by then and I will not wait couple hours at the mall for him to bring my undone purse as I am working. I don't usually put this kinds of reviews but I think it's fair for other people to know this as I don't want it to happen to them. read more

After my discussion with the owner, he was able to rectify the issue with a refund......

Don't take your air Jordan 1's to here. Came here for a simple clean air Jordan 1 retro high og university blue. But they repainted and charged me 100 buck. Refuse to give me refund a discount offer me a 25 dollars discount next time. I recommend other shoe cleaning read more

They did an awesome job on my work boots. They were brown. They had scuffs all over the front. Had them dyed black and they look almost brand new. I was having doubts about how they would look but i couldn't be more pleased. They came out great. When i took them in they told me they wouldn't be ready until next week. I needed them for work the next day and they were able to accommodate me. Thank you! read more

I was referred to Campus Shoe Repair by a YSL representative when I went to see about getting my bag repaired. Campus Shoe Repair's prices are fair/affordable and they were able to fix my bag in a timely fashion. In fact, the final price came out to be slighly lower than what I was first quoted and my bag was ready sooner than I was told it would be. They definitely exceeded my expectations and next time I need any repair work done - they will be my first stop! read more

Had a quick turnaround and amazing service! They transformed my new tuxedo shoes to have much much better traction and it all looks seamless. Danced in them and woooohh they're perfect!!! Thank you!

I visited this shoe repair 3 different times on different shoes. All my shoes are high end designers and you might think no shoe repair can fix the problem. His work is amazing looks as if I just took off from the box. I'm so pleased with his work and so convenient while visiting to the mall drop it off. Im glad Nordstroms's sales lady referred me to CAMPUS SHOE REPAIR. read more

They ruined my Prada slippers I only wore them 1 time and I paid a lot of money for them

Was recommended by neiman Marcus for a free sole on my shoe. The repair was shoddy and I had to send them to another shoe repair to fix it again read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. If you want your shoes ruined and never be able to wear them again then this is the place for you. I brought my shoes so the bottom part can be fixed and got back a pair of shoes I'll never be able to wear again. The shoe repair man somehow managed to peal off the suede and left patches of bald spots all over the shoes. All the front desk lady could say to me was that "it happens some times". Unbelievable. read more

This is a great family-run business that pays attention and really cares about the customer. I wanted to refurbish my Ferragamo purse and was hesitant about where to take this. I spoke with Vic and Marel who both reassured me that they would do a great job and explained how they would get it done. And the price they gave me was unheard of. Believe me I checked all the prices and quality of work in the area before committing to anyone. Campus Shoe Repair quoted a price much lower than I expected to pay and indeed did an excellent job on the purse. It really looks new and clean. I will not take any of my designer purses or shoes anywhere else. read more

If I can leave 0 stars I would, horrible service lost my designer shoe, then found it at a different location. Told me I had to wait for them to drop my shoe off even though my pickup date is Friday. Also said pick up until midnight but the mall closes at 9pm. Owner or manager came in not one apology for having me wait a hour for him to bring my shoe from the Westwood location which I drop off at this location. I Will never go to this horrible place again. read more

Customer Service Fail. Had been a customer for some time, they did lot's of work for me and my girlfriend. Recently, "lost" her shoes. After 30 minutes plus, and yes we had the claim check, they found them but the shoes hadn't been touched. Follow-up a week later, can't find the shoes, again! Thirty minutes later, I ask for some consideration on the more than $300 charges and am told, "'If' I come back again, they'll give me a $20 credit towards my next repair." If... Too many good cobblers out there want our business. No need to give it to a business that doesn't appreciate its customers. read more
