Excellent cobbler. I asked them for a complete resole on my brown leather boots. They did the job in a few days. They replaced the cork, welt, midsole and a new Vibram 700 outsole. Excellent job. read more

A wonderful, gem of a shoe repair place! I couldn't be happier with how well they repaired my shoe-boots. They look like new! They replaced the worn down heels with a good rubber, slip-proof heel, and glued the tips near the toe that was coming up. I brought them in on a Wednesday and they were ready on Friday! It was a quick 2 day turn-around to get them back--and they were nice and clean!! The prices are very fare--and they are very kind, friendly people. You couldn't ask for better service! Will be back! Highly recommend! *Just went back again the other day, and got the same wonderful service!! My shoes came back like new. They are true craftsmen!! So happy to have found this place!! read more

Love this shop. They cleaned up my suede shoes so beautifully that they actually look brand new. Previously, they have new soles on my Birkenstock shoes and this totally makes them like new. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Columbus Shoe Repair - These shoes had grease marks on the toes. Now after a visit to Columbus Shoe Repair, they look brand new!!! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I needed a cobbler cause I'm trying to do more adulting and not just throw things away if they're not 100%. I like my boots and wanted to resole them. Columbus came up as the best cobbler in the area, so off I went. Is $85 a lot to resole boots? I don't know, but I figured, let me try cause this is the first time I've ever done this. If it goes well, then it's well worth it. If not, then I learned a lesson. Couldn't be happier with the results. Resole came through really nice, the boots feel great, and he even shined up them better than new. Will def be returning, in the future, for all my shoe repair needs. read more

This is a wonderful shop staffed by friendly people who really know their stuff. They have repaired my Birkenstocks and my wife's boots, fixed my shoes, replaced the leather strap on my binocular case...and also provided me and my kids with excellent leather wallets and belts. Anytime we need any kind of footwear repaired, or want to buy any kind of leather item, we head straight to them. Couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

I go here all the time and finally wrote a review. This place is great! They are very good at what they do and they're also very friendly. I just got some lug sole boots repaired. It wasn't super-cheap (because of the lug soles) but it was reasonable--and these are boots that were originally quite expensive. I didn't want to just get rid of them and I didn't have to, even though these boots were trashed with a big split in the sole. I've gotten many things repaired here and they always do an excellent job. If you need new holes punched in a belt or shoe strap, they will do it right there and it's very cheap. read more

I recently brought a pair of ankle boots to Columbus Shoe Repair because a heel cap came off of the right boot. They did a great job of replacing both heel caps with much sturdier versions. The boots look better than when I initially purchased them! Turnaround time was less than 48 hours, and it cost $15 (cash only). I'm so glad I found this place and will definitely take shoes and bags there for repair in the future. read more

I have been putting off bringing some shoes to the neighborhood cobbler for some time and every time I bring my family's shoes in, I am so delighted. Columbus Shoe Repair has resoled boots, stitched together the toes of boots that came loose, shined and treated dress shoes with waterproofing, and replaced the sole of leather "dress sneakers" that I wore to death. NYC is hard on your shoes. I walk fast and am hard on my shoes. This shoe repair shop keeps our shoes looking and feeling great, at reasonable prices. Also the best place in JH for last minute kid birthday presents. Cash only! read more

I recently walked in to repair my watch, and they were fast and professional. I would definitely recommend their services. I enjoyed my visit and didn't feel rushed. It was a great experience! read more

They were honest about shoes that they couldn't mend and did an amazing jobs with the ones that they could. I picked up 2 pair and dropped off a third. read more

Seriously this place is amazing. I have had many pairs of boots resolved here and they even painted scuffed silver clogs that I had lost hope for. Every time I go, they do an incredible job for such a reasonable price. read more

Want to extend the life of your shoes? Come here to get your shoes repaired. Service is friendly, quick, and prices are very reasonable! I had the heel of my boot repaired since it was worn down. It is a wide heel, but the repair only cost me $12. The quality seems good so far. Worn it for a week and no problems so far. I dropped my shoes off on a Saturday and they were ready for me to pick up on Monday. read more

I didn't even know Columbus shoe repair was the name of this place. Photos included. Just a filthy cracked up sign that says "center service shoe repair". My issue is the customer service. They run this place like they're doing you a favor. They get too busy to answer the phone and while they have decent prices and do decent work I never feel valued as a paying customer. I was told a resole and a heel grip would be 20$ and I needed to leave half. I left 10 dollars. When I returned I didn't have my ticket and he charged me 20$ to pick them up. He said he remembered very clearly the job was 30- I said if it was 30 I would have left 15 as the 50% deposit. Then he tried to say the young worker was "still learning". But no apology just an attitude. Always an attitude. Everytime I come in his first response is "it can't be done" or "it won't come out well"- no matter what I bring. I've been coming for years and I paid it cause 10 dollars vs 20 dollars isn't gonna change my life but he lost a customer today over that. Now that I'm actually looking at the shoes to take pictures the work is pretty sloppy. I know everyone is desperate for money and that's what people come to America to make but that's not how you do business. read more

THE BEST SHOE REPAIR! they're very friendly people! And work very quickly. I dropped off seven pair of heels in terrible need of TLC. Their prices are great ($6-8$ for heel taps), and the job is well done. They even fixed the scratches and minor things in the leather. I will definitely come back! read more

Columbus Shoe Repair - Just like new - Shoe Repair Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I have gone here to have my Red Wing boots resoled twice so far and they have come out great. I also brought my wifes shoes that were literally falling apart and they fixed them up like new. My wife also had a pair of brown FYE boots were almost worn down to the inner boot and somehow they were able to rebuild the entire thing which amazed me and my wife who thought she was going to have to throw her boots in the trash! I also had to have my motorcycle club colors transferred from a rotting leather vest to a new one, and after being turned away by my Dry Cleaner on the same block that I have been going to for over 30 years; I came here and they did the work without hesitation. Fast turnaround. Cash only. I like to support small family businesses like this because they work hard and do very good work also. Very friendly. They can fix handbags, shoes jackets you name it. If you are unsure, just bring it here. You will NOT be dissapointed. read more

Admittedly the job I dropped off was a simple one. After years of reliable service, the sole of one of my water-proof boots came undone. These are expensive boots and my go-to shoes when it's raining in New York. I can traipse around in them all day, walk through any puddle and my toes stay dry. These folks run a combo toy store / shoe repair place. Walk through the small shop (past the teddy bears and action figures) and there's a counter in the back. Nice attentive family with a southern cone accent. They took my boot, charged me six dollars, sealed the sole right up and made it look good as new. I had my boot back the very next day, just in time for rain. read more

A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of water-proof leather boots that cost me $150. Because they were so special to me, I seldom wore them -- I wanted to make these boots last forever...until December. One very wonderful evening in December, I took off my boots at the doctor's office and tried to put them back on and zip them up, but they wouldn't! This led to a really awkward trip home since my boot wouldn't zip up. My sister then told me about this wonderful little mom and pop shop in Jackson Heights that would treat my beloved boot very well. I went here yesterday (a Friday at around 5 PM) and showed the guy what had happened to my favorite boot. "Don't worry", he said in Spanish, "I can fix it... and if not, I'll just change the zipper. Come back tomorrow!" I was SO happy. Because it is a zipper, the fix cost me $20, but the boot looks as good as new. There is no longer anything stuck inside the zipper and it actually looks a lot better than my other (non-broken) boot. I have no idea why these guys have no reviews, but they deserve plenty... and they should all be awesome! read more

Inexpensive and spectacular repairs! The guy not only repair them but I received them with an unexpected shoe polish. read more

WOW! I left a pair of cream suede sandals here to clean. This was not an easy job and my jaw dropped when I picked them up: they looked brand new. This place is a gem for vintage-lovers and those who prefer to care for the stuff they already own. read more

This is the second pair of shoes trusted to the excellent repair-persons at Columbus Shoe Repair on 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights. The all leather sole was dangerously slippery on wet surfaces and warranted replacement. Columbus Shoe Repair artfully installed a Vibram rubber soles. Shoes even returned with bright and shiny polish. Well done. read more

Columbus Shoe Repair - Excellent work! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Came here on different occasions - once to put more holes in a leather belt, another time to fix the seams/stitches that were coming undone on some of my heels and another time to stretch out some leather boots. The people at the service desk are very nice and the prices are soooooo cheap compared to places like leather spa! I would even trust this place with some of my high end pieces. Service is always quick and fast (winthin a few days, but you can request to have it sooner and they will try their best). read more

I took some vintage heels here and they look great now! Definitely coming back here if I need another shoe fixed. The prices are affordable and the quality of work is great. Make sure you bring cash. The store is cash only. read more

This place is still amazing. I took my favorite pair of boots in to get re-soled and re-stitched and they did an amazing job. My favorite boots are like new. They polished them up, too. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my shoe repair! read more

My favorite fall boots were in dire need of repair. These leather riding boots that I had purchased several years ago from Banana Republic, and have pretty much worn into the ground, had a missing heel bed? (not exactly sure what it is called) - that needed to be replaced. I heard about a shoe repair shop in Rego Park that I had considered, but learned that they were, a) soon going out of business, and b) a little expensive. Thankfully I found this place through a Yelp search, and decided to give it a shot and felt comfortable doing so with such great reviews. I called ahead and asked for a rough estimate, and when I brought the boots in, they stood by their initial phone assessment. I decided to replace both heels, so they would be even, and they also threw in a shoe shine because like I said, I wore these things pretty much into the ground and didn't take great care of it. Replacing the boots wasn't an option for me because the exact color of the boots (camel) is hard to find, and to be honest, I don't need/want to spend hundreds of dollars on a new pair of leather boots, when I got these puppies repaired and shined for a surprisingly, extremely, reasonable price (under $15)!! Yes, you know your financially savvy girl will be going here for future shoe repair needs. read more

Great, fast, friendly service, and not to mention my shoes came out flawless!

Excellent for only $20 fixed the front exterior of my Gucci shoes. Professional and respectful. I went to a place in USQ Manhattan and their service wasn't good like here. read more

This is a little nearby gem for anyone living in the area and likes to keep their more expensive and durable footwear lasting longer than the sole. I had two pairs of military 3 layer construction sole boots resoled here. Both were worn through into the midsole and probably even damaged it. So I got a full resole with genuine Vibram soles for a pretty decent price of $60 each and they even shined up my black pair and cleaned what they can on my tan suede pair. The job was/is great the soles are on seamlessly and have had no separation at all so far or any type of "wonkiness" to them. On the staff they're nice and informative but to the point and will help you out if they can. Overall I'm very pleased and will probably be using this place unless it's no longer geographically practical to get here. read more

A pair of shoes I brought in two weeks ago to have soles replaced have already started to peel away.

Very friendly staff who fixed my purse which I would have thrown away and they fixed it in five minutes.

I had a pair of work boots resoled. They did a great job at a fare and reasonable price. Boots were done when promised. The employees are very friendly. read more

All I can say is WOW! I brought in my favorite sandals which were destroyed.Thought I would take a chance and see if they could be repaired. They came out looking pretty close to new. The prices are also very economical.I will be taking more shoes next week. So happy to have found them!!!!! read more

The work is excellent! The older gentlemen at the desk needs a good lesson in customer service! He is certainly not an asset to this business! read more

I was recommended to this establishment by several locals who have had shoes repaired here, and I'm glad that they pointed it out since it would be otherwise easy to miss. I had a guitar bag with a broken zipper. They provided a quality repair for a bargain price, as well as excellent customer service. For those that are not local, the price is worth the trip,...I'll come here again first for any repairs. 5 stars. read more
