Great cobblers are hard to find these days, and to know we have one in our neighborhood makes me even happier. Quality work can't be rushed so know that this is not an in-n-out kind of service. You'll need to drop them off for a few days as the cobbler is the only one with the ability to do the work and I'm so grateful my friend told me about Gino's. My beautiful shoes have a refinished sole and new heel. Super happy with the outcome. read more

Probably wouldn't have noticed the shop without a Yelp search. Great work, great prices. Gino does a great job!

Every interaction with this business has been disappointing. The proprietor is rude and unhelpful. He acts like he doesn't want your business. They also only take cash, which is absurd. I can understand wanting to avoid credit card fees, but this makes it very inconvenient for customers. Add a surcharge if you must. Despite all that, I have some very nice handmade hiking boots I wanted restored and conditioned, so I dropped them off. This guy simply put basic black shoe polish on them and didn't even polish them. They looked horrible. I had to take them to someone competent who had to clean them with saddle soap to get the polish off and then condition them correctly. Now they look and feel brand new. To add insult to injury, when I went to pick up my boots, this guy hands me one boot. When I ask where the other one is he said that's all I brought. He argumentatively insisted that I'd only brought one boot. Luckily, I spotted the other boot on one of the shelves, so he begrudgingly gave it to me. This is seriously one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. It goes without saying that I would never recommend this awful business. Look elsewhere. read more

Steve the Cobbler Specialist performs truly magical work. Every time I bring in my shoes, they come back looking brand new; it's honestly amazing. His craftsmanship, attention to detail and care really show in every repair. I'm always so impressed with the results and wouldn't trust my shoes with anyone else. I highly recommend Gino's Shoe Repair. read more

Gino's shoe repair is the best and the owner, is the best cobbler in the world. His craftsmanship, demeanor, and skill is beyond! I bought a pair of designer boots and the shaft of the boot was super narrow and my calves are not the skinniest so I could not zip them up, but I didintl want to return them, so I tried to stretch them and failed, so I took them to Gino's shoe repair and Steve did an amazing job stretching them out so I can now zip them with ease. I was so pleasantly surprised. They needed to be stretched quite a bit and he did it, as promised and he did it in a way that the boots still kept their shape and now I wear them and zip them up with ease. I am beyond happy and grateful and will bring all my shoes to Gino's shoe repair. Steve was beyond nice, kind, and just a joy. Highly, highly recommend and thank you! read more

Don't bring your nice sneakers here!! I went in for a simple sole replacement and somehow he significantly messed up the back of the shoe - it's scraped off on both shoes even though there was no need to touch that part to replace the black soles. And it was $60. Beware. read more

Steve at Gino's is great! Always friendly and helpful. Service fees appear fairly priced for the region. He does great work on shoes! I brought some fine bags to him for repair and color touch up, and he was honest and informative about what he can do and what he is uncertain of, which is super helpful in deciding how to do delicate repair work. read more

Excellent service, gives great advice on necessary repairs and is up front about everything.

Gino fixes everything, I have been going to hm for YEARS! There are so few shoe repairs anymore, and Gino's quality of work surpasses any of them out there. He always greats you with a smile .His prices are very fair and no matter how small or large, he will not turn you away . I went to him to replace zipper in my favorite shoes, He said "let me try something , Then and there he put some lubricant on the zipper and it has been working fine the last year ! read more

Professional, friendly, reliable and excellent workmanship. Will come again and highly recommended

I needed to have a pair of ballroom dance shoe heels cut down about a 1/2" to a more comfortable height. Steve did an excellent job lowering the heels and re-tipping the shoes. He also moved the heel to make sure that it was balanced properly. I was able to use them for a dance party and they worked beautifully. I also found out that he is an Argentine Tango dancer so he definitely understood my situation. :-) read more

I went to Gino's to repair two pairs of my shoes. I am very pleased with the work he did on my shoes, they look brand new. The leather on one of my shoes was really damaged from rains and general wearout + the heel was worn out. He restored this pair like magic with very high quality work. You can't see the wear out on heel anymore, he leveling is perfect. i did feel he is a bit pricey but I have never spent on shoe repair before, so I don't have a comparison point. But overall I am very pleased because it was like I got two brand new leather shoes. No complaints. read more

Since I am barely wearing real shoes right now I decided it was time to get all my shoes and boots repaired. Gino's is no nonsense and does a great job from heel replacement to fixing a torn suede boot. I even had him fix the clasp of my wallet. Decent prices - the quality is excellent. read more

One of the best in san mateo county. Craftsmanship you no longer find. Repeat customer.

I brought a pair of Italian shoes that I have forever and I don't want to let them go he fixed and they look like new thank you...!!!

Been coming here ever since. Does really good job. Professional the cobbler let's you know if how you want your shoes done is not a good idea. He works on your shoes with passion and ethics not just for the money that is why you get beautiful result. read more

I recently stopped by Steve's shop to get some advice on rubber outer soles for a new pair of shoes. With his well-spoken honesty, he advised to wait until the outer soles had a bit of wear first. Then rubber outer soles would adhere much better given the shoe's synthetic sole. This is the kind of personalized expertise you don't find in most shoe repair shops. There is a world of difference between a classically trained shoemaker and craftsman versus a modern day shoe repair tech who only does "R & R" (remove & replace) work. The tech will never replace the craftsman, not ever. So, it comes down to the quality of the work you want to have for your shoes. Shoes that cost several hundred dollars, handmade by old-world shoemakers deserve the same level of skill that created them. If this isn't important to you or seems to be too esoteric, then by all means go somewhere else for your shoe repairs. You'll feel better and so will Steve. read more

Def delivered on time. Fixed the issue I had with my dress shoes. Price is reasonable!!

Always does a good job; reasonable prices; easy to work with. Shoes always ready when promised.

Every time I bring something to Gino's, I'm grateful to have a small business like this in my town. He is a true craftsman, honest and easy to work with. He's fixed and repaired everything from designer shoes and purses to a broken zipper on my husband's jacket. I completely destroyed a pair of leather boots (worn soles, frayed toes, an actual hole on the bottom....) and he repaired them, like new, for a fraction of the cost of new boots. Highly recommend this store! read more

Horrible experience. I sent some many of my Christian Louboutins to be added the red rubber soles and he ruined all of them. Crooked, uneven and terrible placement of the rubber, any good cobbler knows only to place the red rubber where it touches the floor. This is thousands of dollars wasted. Don't go to this guy he'll ruin all your shoes and charge you money to do so. NO EXPERTISE OR ATTENTION TDETAIL read more

Steve - great master! If you are old, but the heart of your favorite shoes, he made great efforts to restore their original appearance. Do not give false promises. I brought him a few pairs of shoes Gucci. Expensive shoes, but there is attrition from driving a car on the heel. The paint went on the toe and heel. For his work with a pair of Steve took the $ 40. It's cheap for a shoe that costs 700 dollars. The result exceeded my wildest expectations. I got new shoes back! Steve can clean your jacket. Increase the size of shoes, take in a bootleg. The store large selection of paints and aerosols for footwear read more

I have been going to Steve (owner of Gino's Shoe Repair) for over 15 years. At a co-worker's suggestion, I tried Steve and have only the best results. I am a shoe whore and have literally hundreds if not thousands of pairs of shoes. When I find a good, all leather shoe I like, I buy multiple colors and sometimes duplicates so I can be sure to have them year after year. Many times Steve has "saved" my fav shoe by adding thicker, rubberized soles and/or just fixing them. Even my cheap shoes occasionally needed regluing or work done, no problem. Steve is regularly very busy so you can expect to wait a week or so for any project. I like that I can call and he will stay late in the evening, as traffic will sometimes delay him, me and the entire Bay Area in the mornings. Therefore, I highly trust Steve and his expert work! read more

He was very honest and professional with me. I brought in a pair of Dansko clogs with the soles splitting off on both shoes. He told me it wasn't worth it to fix them because that type of sole dries out and would likely split again. I explained that I had worn the shoes at my wedding and that I wanted to wear them to my sister's wedding. He said he would fix them ($30) but couldn't promise I would get more than a few days of wear out of them and wanted to make sure I understood that before spending the money. He had the shoes ready on time and I wore them to my sister's wedding, danced half the night, and all was well. I really appreciated his professionalism and honesty. I would definitely go back to him. read more

This man did a great job on my Michael kors purse. We were originally supposed to take out the old rings holding the straps to my purse because one of the hinges had broken. Instead he was able to fix the broken hinge and made it look like new! He said the job was so small, he did it for no charge. Will definitely be coming back for other shoe/purse and leather repairs. read more

Gino patched up my 25 year old ballroom dance shoes. He fixed up exactly what needed to be fixed. Now they look and fit great.

This guy must be the most obnoxious person I have met. It is 3:30pm on Thursday afternoon. I didn't happen to have my shoes with me, but I was nearby and thought I will ask him a quick question. No other customer were waiting in the shop. This guy just erupted! He needs to see the shoes etc. etc. Fair enough! No problem. But why the outburst! Maybe he was having a bad day, but he clearly does not belong in a customer facing job! I am sure he doesn't care but he is not getting my business. I would not recommend you go there either! This guy deserves a negative rating! read more

We always bring our shoes here and have always been happy with the results. Reasonably priced! It's my go to shoe repair place now. The proprietor is very nice, and friendly. I changed the heel on my shoes and my husband's shoes (each pair cost me $25). I put a lining on the sole to protect the leather sole. He also wore my boots in the place where the sheaf had gone. Everything was done perfectly, shoes and boots looked like new. He is really nice and too bad I don't have enough shoes to take there for repair. His work is high quality. He also does keys. read more
