    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.

    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.

    Toe protector
    Tan D.

    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.

    Damaged heels

    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. To make it worse he says I brought them in, in this condition, completely lying to my face! 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!

    Repaired heels
    natalye l.

    Did an unbelievable job. He redid the souls and the heels and they were torn in the center and fixed that as well. Very happy with the outcome. The secret is leave your shoes and don't rush experts. Trust me you will be very satisfied

    Purse handle repaired by me!
    Spmg M.

    Couldn't fix the purse I brought in, but they previously repaired some shoes I'd taken in. They did a good job on my shoes. They didn't have the hardware for the purse. I ordered it from Amazon and repaired it myself.

    New heels

    This place gets the job done! Quality work Took two boots to get fixed One for a heel repair, since it was worn out. The other was to trim the back of the heel a bit since it wasn't symmetrical when bought. They took good care of them and I'm extremely happy with the results.

    Repaired handbag and storefront

    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.

I called to ask for a rough estimate for a very simple repair on my vintage Australian UGG boots. The sole was completely intact and had simply separated, so I was only looking for a basic re-glue, not a resole. I understood that they might need to see the shoes in person for an exact price, but I was hoping for an estimate. Instead, the conversation became unnecessarily uncomfortable. I was repeatedly interrupted while explaining what I needed, and the tone of the conversation felt very condescending. At one point, when I explained that I wanted the boots repaired as soon as possible, he commented that it was summer and then brought up having Chanel boots in the store, which felt completely irrelevant to what I was asking and just bizarre?? Almost like he was trying to show off his customers shoes. I was eventually quoted $25 for the re-glue which was also insane but after the way I was treated on the phone, I decided not to bring my shoes in. I understand that a business may need to see an item before giving an exact quote, but there was no reason for a simple pricing inquiry to turn into such an uncomfortable interaction. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be returning.

Champ Shoe Repair replaced the worn/missing heel tip, glued down some material that had started peeling, and also treated the material because the black dye would transfer onto my skin whenever I wore them. I would literally come home with black marks going up my feet and legs from the straps! The gentleman did good work, and everyone I interacted with was very friendly. I believe this may be a family-owned business, which I always like supporting. There was, however, a bit of a language barrier, and I misunderstood exactly what was included in the price. I thought more of the bottom sole was going to be replaced. When I initially picked them up, I spoke with who I believe was his son, but he wasn't sure exactly what work had been included on my ticket, so I left the shoes there again. When I returned later and spoke with the original gentleman, we were able to clear up the misunderstanding. For me personally, the repair was also a little pricier than I expected--probably more than I originally paid for the shoes! But I really like these heels and wanted to save them, so I went ahead with it. Overall, they did a good job and were very kind. I haven't worn the heels yet to see how well the dye treatment worked, so I'll have to update my review once I do. I wouldn't discourage anyone from coming here at all; for my own budget, I would probably shop around for a less expensive option next time.
