He knew exactly what we wanted. My daughter had a bag that needed a shoulder trap. He was able to sew on loops for the trap. Work was excellent. Great place and top notch work. I will be taking my shoes next. read more

Brought in my worn down Birkenstocks and the shoe cobbler was able to switch out the soles an now my favorite birks are back in action and look like new. Just an FYI, it does take some time for him to work his magic so don't expect a one week turnaround be patient. It's worth it. Highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Have been coming here for years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best repair guy around! Has even fixed a couple purses for me :)

My Louis Vuitton never full purse was breaking and I tried to take back to the store to send for repairs (isn't that part of the deal for that much money?) but they said no they wouldn't be able to help. I tried Everett's and Victor was great - he inspected the rips on the leather near the top and said the best thing was to cut around it to remove the ripping part and then restitch the cord around the top back on. I trusted him and I'm so glad I did! It took the few weeks he said but it looks like a new bag and his work was excellent. He is a good person, man of his word and is very good at his craft. Don't hesitate to go there and let's keep supporting good people like Victor and his business. read more

Took my boots here for a cleaning and they did an awesome job. The leather looks refreshed, the color came back nicely, and they clearly took their time with the details. Fair pricing, quick turnaround, and friendly service. Love supporting a solid local shoe repair shop -- I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm very pleased with two projects I requested to be done at Everett's the past month. 1. My favorite purse broke where the strap meets the purse and Victor was able to fully repair both ends like new again. I'm so glad to use my favorite purse again! 2. I bought a pair of Clark's heels which were comfortable in the store and then too loose at home. I took them to Everett's, where Victor took measurements and figured out a way to tighten the closure strap so that they would fit properly! I'm super pleased with the result. Victor will ask you if you have a date you need them by. If you're not specific then expect it to take longer because other projects that do have a deadline will take priority. I did not specify other than to say by Christmastime so the purse took 2 weeks and the shoes took 4 weeks. They were worth the wait. He takes the time to ask you what you're looking for and to give you options and advice as needed. He's friendly and does excellent work. I do think the prices are reasonable. read more

I was in need of a good cobbler to install toe protectors on my Allen Edmonds loafers. I was wearing out the toes quickly and decided to find a different cobbler to install them. I had another install toe protectors on my Crockett & Jones and they were not flushed. These were perfectly flushed. Needless to say he has 3 others shoes right now having toe protectors, custom leather insoles and one full resole being done. I'm not going anywhere else for shoe repair, finally found a true craftsman of shoe repair. Over the years of buying Goodyear welted shoes I learned key terminology to ask a cobbler, and this by far the most knowledgeable and honest one I met. If you are in a 30 mile radius and need a true shoe cobbler take them here. I previously considered shipping my shoes out of state to cobblers in Florida or Tennessee that have strong brand names on the internet. I'm saving shipping cost and taking them over here instead. Anyone who knows good quality craft shoes knows JR leather, full brass Triumph toe protectors are all high quality materials that need to be installed with the highest of quality. read more

I don't usually write a bad review, but this couldn't go unnoticed or unsaid. I took a pair of high heals for an easy repair, the heal needed a new cap. These are Italian high heals from brand Rossi. That's not the point, however when fixing the show they either touched them some chemical or heat and damaged my shoes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To make it worse he says I brought them in, in this condition, completely lying to my face![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can never deal with dishonest people. Tell me you screwed up and maybe we can see how to work through it but to straight lie is despicable service. Never again. Don't trust these guys with any valuable shoes, may huge mistake!!!!! They deserve a NO STAR! read more

I honestly never use a Shoe Repair. My husband had some sketchers that were new and needed to be re-glued. I was told to pick them up today and when I got there, they weren't ready.

My old Birkenstocks look like new. Reasonable turn around time (2weeks) to repair the worn out soles.

Everett's Shoe Repair is fantastic at repair of handbags and shoes. My sister recommended I try out this shop, and I am so grateful that she did. My handbag was in severe disrepair, the handle had broken off, Everett's Shoe Repair was able to magically repair the handle and I am now using one of my favorite bags of all time once again! Their staff are kind, efficient, and humble. I was so impressed they also repaired my sandals which had completely broken. For anyone with cherished footwear or handbags you would like to revive, try Everett's Shoe Repair, a lovely brick lined shoppe in the heart of downtown Claremont. read more

The new owner of Everett's shoe repair in Claremont is a legit craftsperson. He installed these flush Lulu toe plates onto my new Cobbler Union whole cuts. He even re-did the stitching on the toes by hand because the threading was frayed due to my own over zealous polishing. Hand stitching insures that the restitching remains in the original welt holes. Pricing is reasonable and comparable to mail-in services such as the Hanger Project and Potter & Sons. I also brought in some Frye boots for re-soles using high quality JR oak barked leather soles and I'm happy with the results. The shoes are probably better constructed and higher quality than when originally purchased. If you're looking for someone to re-craft some Goodyear welt constructed shoe or otherwise, look no further than Victor, the new owner at Everett's shoe repair. read more

I cannot thank you enough for fixing my favorite Japanese purse by designer, KMRii. It was such a complex design I couldn't even wrap my head around how to replace the zipper myself. It was well worth the repair and everyone was so kind to me at this Shoe Repair Shop. Exceptionally fast service and kind service, and I greatly appreciate it! read more

Absolutely love this place. Although I moved to laguna beach I make the trip up to Claremont for my shoes because Everett's is the best. The new owners have really stepped it up and I've brought leather bags, boots to resole, heels to stretch.. everything is done well. read more

Victor is my go to for my boot shine. He does great work and takes care you. He's communicative and his prices are affordable.

You won't get a big welcome or a smile even... but you will get GREAT workmanship! Ugly, dingy, old shop... It means they're getting down and dirty and not up charging for no reason. Worth every penny if you have really nice shoes. We all know good quality leather shoes are hard to come by. Taking them to a pro is a good idea! I would not trust my nice shoes with anyone else!

My husband loves bowling shoes and wanted to have a cool retro pair he found at the thrift re-soled for streetwear. He is absolutely thrilled with them. Recently he found a pair of used Florsheim Imperials (about $200) for $7.50. They had slight wear, but we know where we can take them to get them in tip top shape. Cobbling is becoming a lost art given the hold fast fashion has on shoes, but Everett's is definitely the place to take quality shoes that need some TLC. read more

Great shoe repair he knows what he is doing. I had a pair of Italian loafers repaired.

I took some slip on clog tennis shoes to glue them. He tore them open more then said $50.00!!!! For glue???? Guess what? My hubby bought shoe glue and they're good as new! read more

Checked this business based on Yelp reviews. I could not believe the exorbitant price he wanted to charge. Went to a place in La Verne off Foothill and the price was forty percent less. Sorry, friends of his must be writing the reviews I am reading. read more

Came across an old pair of Nike's that look like they were sitting on a shelf turning yellow and collecting dust for a few years. Everette's worked a miracle on these sneakers, made them look brand new and I can easily sell them at above market value. Though I think I'll keep 'em. read more

When I came to drop off the shoe originally the positive, friendly customer service was definitely lacking. Gave this place a chance still because there aren't many shoe repair places in the area. When I had replied to their missed call the lady on the phone was definitely still having heavy attitude stating she left a voicemail ect, I let her know I completely understood and apologized for not answering that I would come in later today to pick up the shoe. I arrived 15 minutes prior to closing on a Friday, being told that pick up is super fast I didn't think that i'd be preventing them from leaving their shop on time. Once I arrived they were already closed. Huge bummer. Will update the review once I see the quality of work but so far i'm just totally turned off by this shop. read more

I went looking for a resole on some dress shoes. The lady at the counter said, "A resole, I'll have to ask him." She walks to the cobbler who is hammering a sole on a shoe, and tells him I want a resole. He says, "A resole? I don't want to do a resole." She then tells me, he can't do it, he's about to retire. So, don't waste your time bringing this guy any work, he's done. read more

Attention: Everett's doesn't just repair shoes... He has repaired purses and jackets for me as well (all leather). The jacket that he repaired for me most recently takes the cake. I can't believe what a fantastic job he did. I thought I was going to have to replace my trusty old leather jacket I bought almost TEN years ago... The color had faded and little scratches were becoming more and more apparent all over. I couldn't find anything I liked as much as mine though, and leather jackets are expensive as hell now. Everett's told me to bring it in, and it came out looking like the luscious, jet black jacket it once was. I saved so much money, and I got to keep my favorite jacket. I also have to give a shout out to my girl at the front. She is always cool, nice and helpful (not weirdly bubbly). The man in charge of the actual repairing in the back is definitely not friendly, but that doesn't bother me... Technically, he doesn't work with people, he works with shoes and leather. So don't go in expecting that over the top friendliness you get at other places, and if you try to get sassy I would expect you might get it right back. I recommend bringing whatever you need repaired in with plenty of time to be worked on. Don't bring in a pair of shoes that you need that same week. He's busy and works by himself, I think. It might take time, but it's worth it. read more
