Over the years, Elio has refurbished my handmade cowboy boots. His attention to details is impeccable. Elio customized med bracelet with exquisite Italian leather. He's a master craftsman. Moreover, my cost was surprisingly low compared to similar businesses. Recently, a handmade messenger bag required buckle repair. Over to Elio's I go. Elio is GONE! Evidently retired. read more

Elio is master craftsman! We had a bag that some good friends gave us and one of the handles broke. He was so pleasant and friendly to deal with. When I walked in I asked him to be honest and let me know if he could repair and if it was worth fixing ! He was honest and a jokesters saying, "if I didn't return he could sell it for a good price". He stated the work would be completed the next day. He did an amazing job he reinforced each handle and reinforced the handles that were not damaged. Looking at the bag now you can't tell which one was broken. The price to repair was reasonable. I couldn't have gotten a new bag for the price he charged. I would recommend him and the business to anyone that needs leather repair. A true craftsman! read more

Excellent service, AAA+. I will be bringing all my shoe and leather repair to Elmo's.

A little shop, with a huge talent! I had a pair of leather bottomed oxfords, that were too slippery to walk on. I didn't really know the best option in which to approach this problem, so I brought them to Ellio's. I picked them up a day later, and my expectations were beyond exceeded. For only $18 he did a phenomenal job. Any of my future shoe problems will be brought to his doorstep. read more

Very pleased with my recent experience at Elio's. I brought in a like new pair of Valentino shoes where a small strap detached from the shoe. He carefully looked them over and discussed the repair which was surprisingly more complicated than I realized. The man (Elio?) said that because he had to undo part of a seam to reattach the strap, and warned wouldn't be able to perfectly match the original thread. I trusted him anyway because he had such great reviews, and he had my shoe ready for pick up the next day. When I picked up the shoes, they were absolutely perfect! If you are inspecting with a magnifying glass up close you can kind of see a minute difference in thread color, but I guarantee that no one besides me and Elio will notice. In the end it was only $12 for a repair that saved a $1400 pair of shoes. I can't speak highly enough about this place. read more

My cowboy boots came back perfect with new sole, heel and shine in a timely fashion. Looking better than new! Elio does great work!

Class act cobbler! I had a pair of dress shoes re-soled. Quality work at a very affordable price. The shoe shop is behind the tailor shop.

Hands down the best shoe repair in the area! Also very reasonable prices. Hours are M-F 10-5:45 pm & Saturday 9-2 pm.

Amazing. Beautiful work, reasonable price, speedy service with a smile. I don't think you can beat this cobbler anywhere in the Capital Region. Not only were my shoes expertly repaired but we're polished and buffed - they haven't looked this good since I bought them years ago. Bellisimo! read more

A professional cobbler. A tad more expensive than Colonie Shoe Repair on Central Avenue but still very reasonable. Excellent quality.

I've brought a couple of dress shoes to Elio's for complete overhaul. In my opinion he is the best around and the dress shoes look almost brand new once he is done with them. Definitely worth the price. You will get quality craftsmanship. read more
