My buddy from work recommended this place, as I was tired of the attitude and high prices at the cobbler in Pleasanton. This guy is close to performing miracles--he takes his craft seriously and delivers excellence every time. And, he'll be honest if he can't help you. I had an older pair of leather sneakers, and he said the white sidewalls were too far gone to repair. He has fixed soles, heals and polished uppers on all of my Allen Edmonds, Cole Hans, etc. he is a true craftsman. read more

I support local businesses. This place is a bit pricey and if you lose your ticket you may lose your shoes forever! Luckily I found my ticket/receipt otherwise the guy was having trouble finding my shoes. Not too organized but they do a great job renewing your old pair of shoes!! read more

I have been coming here for over 20 years. Dan has helped me with several different types of shoe repairs (boots, sandals, heels). He always does phenomenal work and has helped extend the life of my footwear by years! If you pay in cash you get a discount and remember to get one of the loyalty punch cards too! read more

Good Customer service is hard to find nowadays!!! specialty shoe repair is also hard to find. Ppl just don't want to do it so I am happy to have found this gem ! The owner is very personable I hope he does not retire soon! read more

Dan is the best cobbler! Amazing work and yes he is honest. He will let you know if he can not do the work. Had my shoes resoled and they look brand new. Highly recommended. read more

Great service. I have had shoe repairs, belt repairs and purse repairs over many years. I hope they find a new building asap.

Tri-Valley Cobbler is the best shoe repair in the Milky Way! No kidding. Excellent service from this humble yet superbly talented establishment. Amazingly experienced cobbler. Hard working and charming, too! read more

This place is truly worthy of 5 stars. From service to craftsmanship and everything else in between, I can easily say they are good peoples and knows their craft. And when I say they I meant Danny, the owner. Lol Been there multiple times with heel repairs and always satisfied. Reasonable pricing and quick turn around time, checks all my boxes. Recently, I took my Birkenstocks in and Danny was able to clean up the footbed real good, looks brand spanking new when I picked them up.. Ready for summer! My go to for all shoe needs and occasional purse needs. Highly recommend! Best in Tri-valley. read more

Nice quality work. Fast and great customer service. I am so sorry that Tri-Valley Cobbler is permanently closed.

I've brought my boots and shoes to this cobbler for decades and have always been very happy with his work.

It's nice to still be able to go to a small business like cobbler tri valley to get shoes repaired and give them a "second life" so to speak. Quality work and quick turnaround. Definitely would recommend them with quality shoes that deserve quality craftsmanship. read more

I have taken shoes,boots etc to Dan for at least 25-30 years and he is awesome!! So very nice, humorous, and very honest!! His prices are very reasonable, he never tries to make a "killing" at the expense of his customers..If a shoe is beyond repair like such was a pair of mine the other day, he tells the truth... instead of pretending to fix them only for the shoe to fall apart again, and re-charge. When he leaves on the 30th I will truly miss him! I think it is absolutely awful for these "money hungry" people to just throw away businesses and the owners just like they are nothing..just for the money!! I wish Dan all the Blessings he deserves and if he does retire or whatever he does he will be successful, and appreciated, because people will realize what a good upstanding man and individual he is!! And for the individuals that closed down that whole little strip mall and ran people out of business, just remember this:: What goes around... comes around!!...We ALL (with NO exception) reap what we sow!!! No matter how much money you have!!!! Good Luck Dan.. you deserve it!!! read more

Walked in to a very nice and bright store. The gentleman that helped us was friendly and was able to help us quickly. We were in and out in 5 minutes happy. What was a big problem for us was fixed fast and with a smile. We will be back. read more

Used Dan for years No job to small , no job to large Same result each time... first class workmanship, always meets his timelines and is a great guy. Quality service from quality guy read more

Great experience! Dan replaced the heel tips on two pairs of vintage stilettos. The results were perfect, and they were ready for pickup as expected. Experienced cobblers are getting harder to find these days. Very reasonably priced and friendly service. I will definitely be returning. Thanks, Dan. Five stars!! ***** read more

Went here to fine-tune 2x cheap holsters for snubbies. Told me he can do it on the spot and to come back in 20-30 minutes (could have been faster but I was window shopping at J&R next door so I lost track of time). Before I paid, he even suggested for me to test fit them next door before charging me. Talk about small-town customer service. Grand total $10.95. read more

This place is absolute first rate. Brought in my 12 year old dress shoes. It looked scuffed and old, and faded. The gentleman worked his magic, put some life back into the shoes and now they look newish. And all done in one day for a reasonable price. My highest recommendation! read more

I took my Danner work boots to get new soles. 6 day turn around time. Couldn't be more pleased with the results. New Vibram soles and braided laces. Will be coming back next time! read more

My previous review was from February 2022. Since then, I've come here a few times to get random things fixed... bags, shoes, birkenstocks. Danny is the best. Nice guy, great prices, very honest, and he does amazing work. I can't believe I didn't know about this place all my life. If he doesn't think he can do something well, he will tell you up front. One time I asked him for help on a bag that fell apart and he told me to find some screws. After I did, he helped me determine the right screws to put in and didn't charge me. Another time, I needed some glue on one of my clogs. He applied some on the spot and didn't charge me. I would rate this place 6 stars if I could. read more

I keep meaning to write a review for this place and I am finally getting around to it. Always treats me with kindness and respect, does an impeccable and professional job on all our shoes and helps us with choices when doing it. I wish I could give him 10 stars, because I would. If you aren't using Danny for all your shoe issues, you are missing out. Give them a shot and tell them that John Dutra recommended them to you! read more

Oh my gosh. 7 stars plus for this shop. My husband's new expensive sandals were chewed up by my daughters dog and kind of destroyed. He wanted to throw them away. But I took them to Cobbler Tri Valley & Boot Shop and he did a miracle on them. He added perfect leather, sew them up, made them new again and you hardly can see the damage. This man is so perfect in his craftsmanship, that we can be blessed to have him in this town. I bring all my shoes and more to him, and he somehow can fix it and make it look like new again. I'm so crateful that he survived the global Covid Shut Down. I always will be his customer as long as he is in business. Thank you for a really nice job well done. read more

This lightweight backpack I bought always had a shoddy zipper on it. It finally broke after messing with it for many months. I contacted the company but they said they couldn't replace it because it was after a certain amount of days. After doing some research, I found this cobbler that was open. The place near me was closed so I opted to try this place. It's a bit tucked away, right past the parking garage on Railroad right behind a bar. I called to get a ballpark estimate and it was actually much cheaper than when I brought it in. It took less than a day and now I have a backpack with an even better zipper on it. It's good as new now. Good thing because I didn't really want my backpack to get recycled or end up in a landfill. They're cash only so make sure you have some cash on you. Staff were friendly and were wearing masks during my transaction. read more

My mother loves this place and has had various shoes re-soled. It's a one-man show and he takes pride in his work.

Excellent work on my shoes, he is quick and the prices are very reasonable. He is a great asset to Livermore.

I was prepared to venture into San Francisco to get the damaged strap on my husband's climbing backpack fixed and figured I would start locally. In our initial phone call he confirmed he could do the repair and when he saw the backpack quoted a very reasonable price. Upon completion he made it clear the project had been more challenging than anticipated and didn't change his quote. The work is exquisite. Highly recommend. Cash only!! read more

Don't take debit or credit card. Asked for cash only. I believe they do good work but in this day and age who carries cash.

My 4+ year old Birkenstock sandals when from ratty to looking brand new after spending a week here. I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to bring my boots in. I only wish I took pics of the transformation. 10 stars!! read more

Been coming here for years and is always honest and does a great job on shoe repairs.

I moved to Livermore almost 7 yrs ago and have been bringing my shoes to him ever since. I am prompted to finally write a review because I recently took two pairs of my most worn Michael Kors high heels to Dan. When I picked them up they looked brand new, like I'd just taken them out of the box. Ladies, if you've got some heels you love but they have seen better days, have Dan take a look at them. He is amazing! read more

Do yourself a favor and bring your favorite pair of shoes that you hate to think about throwing away into this shop for an overhaul. I'm sure he does a lot more than re-soling, but every time I've gone in to upgrade some worn out soles, my shoes come back looking like new, but already nicely worn in. And for a fraction of the cost of new shoes. Having a local cobbler is a community benefit - enjoy it while it lasts and bring your shoes in. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. I have been taking my shoes here for years, I've never had a bad experience. I appreciate the patience everyone has when I ask a million questions. The prices are competitive, and the quality of the work is amazing. The care that is taken in the polishing or repair of my shoes is noticeable, almost like I'm getting new shoes! read more

Excellent work. Did exactly what I asked to be done. I am very pleased with the new soles on my irreplaceable slippers! Highly recommend Tri Valley Cobbler on Old First Street. read more
