The folks are extremely friendly and replaced the heel thingys (my word) on my favorite pair of red boots. I highly recommend.

Back again for another review two years after my last one--the quality and service is just as superb as it was then. Had sole protectors and heel guards applied to a new pair of Weejuns because I want these $200 shoes to last, and couldn't be happier with the workmanship. I highly recommend Franzone Shu Repair and hope they're around for a long time to come. Do check the hours before making a trip because they're limited compared to many retail businesses! read more

Franzone Shu Repair - Sole protector and heel guard - Shoe Repair Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

This is one of the few, if not the only shoe repair shop in the region - it therefore takes a long time for a repair, and costs quite a bit too. That being said, I had some leather boots with an internal rip, and they did a phenomenal job with repairing and restructuring. The 2 month wait was worth it, and they were very professional. I will certainly bring all of my future show repairs here read more

He always takes great care of my shoes and they are normally done before the due date

Service was friendly and thorough. The repair was done well. Only open limited hours.

Always good service and reasonable pricing. In demand but will get your job done. I am a repeat customer.

I went in to get my boots stretched. I left them there for a week and when I went to call to see if they were done the man hung up on me as I was speaking so I drove straight up there and with a smile on his face he handed me my boots. When I get home I realized he hadn't touched them they hadn't been stretched at all. It should have raised the red flag when he never asked me where I needed the boots stretched. He did say that I could come back and get them restretched I guess for the first time if they didn't fit and of course they didn't but after taking my money and not doing anything I'm not going to trust the guy with my socks much less my expensive boots. Be careful the guys lazy and weird and don't mind taking your money and leaving the job to do whenever he feels like if he feels like it at all. read more

This was my 2nd repair here. The first shoe repair went fine. This time I brought in my Chanel clogs because the rubber type bottom sole started to become loose. I paid $30.00 & picked them up about a week later. There was glue all over one side of the shoe. He also had a spot of glue on the suede part of the shoe. When I brought this to his attention - he said "I don't know how it got there. I wondered did you do that". Yep, that's what he said to me. I had already decided to bring my other shoes & a LV purse for repair. Buyer beware. He didn't care about my business - current or future no read more

Best shoe repair!!! My daughters Doc Martens needed to be repaired and wasn't sure if they could be, but what an amazing job they look brand new. I thought they were about 6 years old but they are 10. So, FANTASTIC job on making them look brand new. My daughter is very happy to be able to wear them again. Thank you so much!!! read more

First of all, don't you want to call this place Friend-Zone Shu Repair? I mean, chances are you might not find the love of your life here. And if you somehow met someone you're interested in, odds are you might be friend zoned just because that is so commonplace in today's internet dating society. Anyway, this is a classic shoe repair shop to include all the vintage-looking machines being handled by an experienced-looking cobbler who has seen the movie The Cobbler starring Adam Sandler. He was a nice guy who seemed pretty busy. So busy in fact that he could not do a same-day or 1-day shine job. I paid the man ~$12 to shine my military boots, which is a little on the expensive side but he did a great job and would recommend this joint if you don't want to drive any further. Friend-zone! read more

Great service! Would highly recommend! I had a pair of boots repaired. They did a wonderful job. The price for the repair was very reasonable. read more

Got my shoes back (not worked on) and refunded after I got tired of waiting almost 3 months for quick heel repairs. To quote them, they have almost 2,000 orders sitting there and they get to them whenever they can. Maybe stop taking orders until you catch up with your work read more

Great customer service. I needed a zipper put into pair of Justin Ropers boots. Terry did a great job on the boots & had the ready sooner than I expected. If you need shoe or boots work consider Franzone Shu Repair. read more

Took over 3 months to repair two shoes and cost over $100 unacceptable terrible customer service

I dropped off a loafer that needed rethreading. The shoe and threading were a soft pink. My shoe was rethreaded with a dirty white string, looped way too many times. It looks horrible. I will never use this business again. I was told pink threading isn't sold. Well I know that isn't true because pink threading was already in the shoe. I went to amazon and found a threading that is the same color and thickness. I will repair my shoe, myself. What good is a specialty shop if the shop does not have b access to products or have any concern for quality care??? read more

Excellent service, great work done quickly. It was a pleasure - i can't wait to return!

This is not just a shoe repair business, rather, this is a Master Craftsman practicing his art! Worth every penny!

I rarely need to use a shoe repair shop, but when the only thing wrong with a good pair of well broken in heels is the toe is a bit beat up and the taps are worn down it's cheaper to fix than replace. Franzone's made my 2 pairs of shoes look band new for $34. To replace these two pairs of shoes would have cost more than 4x that price! The only problem is they are not open on the weekend so be sure to check the hours before you head over. read more

Love coming here - he's fixed many pairs of shoes for my family over the years. He also fixes my leather bags! You pay when you drop off, and sometimes the wait can be long to pick up when he's busy, but it's worth it! read more

Took in old hiking boots that I have had for 40 yrs. They needed heels and soles replaced $98. 6 weeks to get them back!! And he wanted the full price up front. I NEVER pay up front full price and told him so and took my boots. read more

I brought my old deck shoes there, I wear medical inserts and they redid the soles and heels wonderful job, they fit and feel great with my new inserts. They are expensive, but the old saying is you get what you pay for. They charged me $59.00 and a new pair is 70.00. But they don't feel as good as the ones they repaired. read more

Great old style cobbler shop. Friendly and professional. However, bring both your patience and wallet. They are very expensive and charge when you drop off. I still haven't got my boots back and it's been three weeks. Messages are not returned. Probably will not use them again. read more

The work was done right and ready when promised. One can't ask for much more than that. I'll be back.

I recently took my work shoes here that I needed done quickly due to a relocation with short notice. The man and woman working when I dropped them off were extremely helpful. They rushed the order for me with no extra charge, and even stayed after hours for me to pick them up. On top of that my shoes were pristine and the quality of work was exceptional. They even struck up a conversation with my shy 5 year old daughter and offered her some treats. All in all I would highly recommend this shoe shop both for workmanship and also customer service. read more

The guy making the boot has little to no bedside manner. I think he might even be on the spectrum, which is fine? Just dint deal with customers. I brought in a pair of boots and asked for a vibrant sole. I didn't know they had options on soles and I wasn't told - there was a sign but, that doesn't mean choose the freedom sole he wants. Those boots are fine, I ended up liking the way they looked after my jaw dropping when I went to pick them up. I just went in again and had another pair of bits I wanted the same thing done but this time I can prepared to order the right sole. The boots are for a memorial of my husbands that was within a week. All good on the timeline but unfortunately I am struggling with finances since the death of my husband and could only work within my budget and would have to pay for them when I picked them up. NO DEAL. NO EMPATHY, NO COMPASSION. Just a straight no and goodbye. Plus this on top of his rude shitty behavior. He is an old gay man and obviously embittered about his meaningless life. That's all sad and stuff but don't take it out on your customers! Prick! read more

Franzone Shu Repair makes my list of "classic Pensacola" because they work out of a building that has clearly been with their business for decades. I tried them out on a pair of dress shoes, and I was really happy with their service. Instead of buying brand new shoes, I had them resole & buff my shoes back to an almost new state. Total price was about $30, so definitely a good investment. Worth a shot if you've got some quality leather shoes that you'd like to preserve. read more
