Tucked in the back corner of the Raley's Shopping Center is a solid shoe repair place. While I love…read moremy usual shoe repair guy in Marin County, having moved to Cotati, I can't keep justifying the drive. It took me more than one pass to find the location as there isn't a storefront sign, only a sandwich board and window sign. It sits right next to Pound Melters. Let me be clear: my only reservations about giving this business five stars is that the cost ($38 for a polish and heel change) seemed a bit high. It was also charged in advance. The work was done on time, however, and well. It's a no frills shop, probably the least cluttered shoe repair shop I've ever seen. I'm glad that I gave them a try and I'll be back as I greatly prefer to repair what I have than purchase new. No complaints, besides I have a rewards card now!

I am slightly jealous that he is calling someone else his Shoe Princess, but what can a woman do??

Hello, I would…read morehighly recommend Model Shoe Renew. My father LOVED cowboy boots. So I took this pair he had to gift to a dear friend. I can't even fully express how impressed by how they restored these boots back to new. They cleaned, polished and shined the leather and replaced the worn out heel. I will definitely be returning for their shoe repair services and to shop their variety of good quality shoes. Support this business. Did I mention how affordable this service was.

My 84 year old father has a 10 year old pair of Redwings that he loves. He was recently walking in…read morethem and the sole quite literally disintegrated on them almost causing him to fall. I called my local Redwing shoe store and it was going to take them 10 weeks to ship them off and get them repaired with the original style of sole that was originally on the boot. I decided to call King Shoe Repair and told them about my problem and they said to bring them by and they could find a sole that would work and I could get them back much quicker. I was able to take my dads boots by a few days later and I was able to choose from three different style of soles for my dads boots. We decided to go with the ones that had the most grip and that would last the longest. Needless to say I'm ecstatic for how well they turned out and how quickly they were able to get them done for a very fair price. The owner of the stores customer service over the phone is very personable, professional and not rushed. It was an even better experience meeting them in person. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any type of shoe here. Very pleasant and wonderful experience overall with fantastic customer service.

Whilst waiting for my Uber to leave the charming burg of Healds…read more I happened to be in front of this shoe repair shop and thought..."maybe they have an olive green colored polish?" This very morning I happened to put on an old pair of olive colored loafers and noticed that they needed a little love. I'm all..."This is perfect! It's meant to be!" So I go in and ask the gentleman manning the place, "do you have such & such color?" He says yes and directs me to said option. It's the last one of this particular color. But of course it is. How many people have olive green, colored shoes? Perfect! Let's make it happen. I pull out my phone to pay and he pretty much says, "there is a minimum and it's $10.00." There is a sign on the cash register as well. Totally understandable. I get it! I tell him "Sorry I rarely carry cash and I understand." He proceeds to say "it's fine, he'll let it pass this time." "Wow! Thanks. That's nice of you." Then he proceeds to start to scold me for not carrying cash! I tell him "well, I don't carry cash because I always end up spending it or I end up giving it to homeless people." He proceeds to pontificate that it cost three dollars per transaction and that he has to pay for it and that, what if there is a blackout and all the cash machines crash and burn and Armageddon and blah, blah, blah! I'm like, "no shit. I understand how it works." But you're the one who is foregoing your policy. I didn't ask him to do me any favors. Don't give me the green light and then let me have it for actually using it. If you needed the $3 bucks so damn bad, don't sell it to me then! I was willing to walk out of there without the Goddamned, polish. And in all actuality, I'm helping this guy move a color of shoe polish, that no one really uses and he probably won't inventory again until he needs another huge shipment. So, you're welcome Mr. Ramos. You're welcome for me, helping you, move an item that's probably been on your shelf for months, if not longer. Him bending over a nickel to pick up a dime, really left a sour taste in my mouth. Instead of being a gracious, small business owner, and absorbing the lousy $3 transaction fee. You made the whole transaction miserly and cloyingly annoying. Next time just keep your mouth shut and let the customer think that you're a nice guy who loves to take care of his customers. Continue to do what you do best and stay triggered. I was a fan until you got cheap on me. Needless to say, from now on, I'll be purchasing my olive green, shoe polish on line, like all the children do.
