Oscar is very nice and polite. He goes above and beyond very nice Guy family owned business. Love it.

Since living in Burbank for over 35 years, this is the only shoe repair that we go to. The gentleman behind the counter is the best in the business ! read more

Oscar is very professional and friendly with exceptional customer service. After picking up my boots, payment time came when I tried to pay with card, he said cash only - no problem, I didn't have the full cash needed but he told me to come back with the rest next time, then he said not to worry about it. I assured him I would return with the rest of the cash to pay for the repair when he said "don't worry, you can pay me back next time." If this isn't exceptional customer service, I don't know what is. I will absolutely be returning for future repairs and 100% recommend him for your shoe/boot repair needs. Give this man your business and he will return it tenfold. Well done Oscar. read more

Excellent job resuscitating my water-shoes which are not available to buy anymore! The explanation of a needed repair, the quality of work and repair time were all excellent! Highly recommend! read more

The owner of the place is one of the most honest people I've ever met. My family and I have been taking shoes to him for well over 15 years. He will tell me point blank if it is worth repairing my shoe or if I am better off purchasing a new one. He does such clean and excellent work and his pricing is lower than what I have found so far. I took a pair of Christian Louboutin's to another local shoe repair, I had called and asked how much to re sole my heels and they had quoted me a price, when I took in my Louboutin's the guy literally tripled the price because he claimed " those are expensive shoes." I turned around and took the same shoes to Glenoaks Shoe Repair and had them done for a fraction of the initially quoted price from the other place. read more

This place is wonderful. Not only did Oscar fix everything we needed beautifully, in a timely manner and within a fair price, Oscar himself is one of the kindest, most welcoming store operators. He's the reason I want to support small business. He loves what he does and he spreads love to him customers through his work and his general kindness. And I must re-emphasize: he fixed zippers, a shoe's sole, and cleaned the shoe leather all beautifully. If you want to support small business and decent, hard workers- this is the place. read more

Oscar is the only guy I will take my shoes to. High quality repairs at a reasonable price.

I took my shoes for repair and the repair was great although because I lost my ticket to pick it up, the shoe repair man gave me hard time and was extremely rude. He needs to adjust his attitude because he'll lose clients just because of how he's treating the clients. Too bad i won't be using his services just because of his attitude otherwise i like how he repaired my shoes. read more

I will never go anywhere else for shoe or bag repair. I brought Oscar 2 pairs of shoes and a backpack and needed one heel replaced and two zippers fixed. Not only did he do a beautiful job fixing everything, he walked me through exactly what he needed to do first, what would need to be replaced, and how much everything would cost before I agreed to it. He added zipper stoppers in a color that made the shoe look even better, and the heel he fixed is indistinguishable from the other one (see photo for comparison; they are only dirty because the photo is after I went hiking in them). The backpack was a complicated fix, but he worked with me to find a solution I'd be happy with. To top it off, he cleaned and polished my leather boots for free, and he always brightens my day when I go in and chat. He's a very smart man. I recommend taking some time to talk with him when you bring in your items! read more

My girlfriend recommended this place to me, she lives down the street. I needed a leather belt repaired and a older pair of my fav boots cleaned up w/heel repair. When I entered the shop I was greeted kindly right after I walked in. I showed him what I had & what I would like done. He told me what he could do and and set a price right then and there. Excellent price and excellent quality craftsmanship. read more

My shoe broke on my way to work the other day. I found this place on Yelp. I called and he told me to stop by so he can take a look. He explained to me that it would be a little tighter since he has to pull it tighter to sew it. That wouldn't be a problem for me at all. He double sewed my shoe very quickly, and only asked for $5! I left 10 and still didn't feel like that was enough. So impressed! read more

Glenoaks Shoe Repair - Interior - Shoe Repair Near Me - Burbank, California

CASH ONLY This owner is awesome. Old school, old world, the shop is about 50 years old and has neat things to look at while you are in there. The owner , Oscar, is a real pro. He did a great job on my docs. Another time I went in there, and he actually tried to turn me away saying I should contact the company directly and make them fix the issue for free, instead of trying to charge me. I appreciated his honesty. Easy to get to, always parking right out front. Go here if you need shoe repair. read more

I've been coming here for year's and my guy ALWAYS comes through. This is what a small business is all about. Year's of experience with bee VERY reasonable prices. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS.. read more

I needed a simple fix on a belt. He took care of it for me and it was perfect. Even better yet, what an amazingly nice guy. Let's make sure he keeps his doors open by giving him tons of business. read more

I haven't been here in a while and I was sorta in the area and needed a key cut and remember that the owner did this so I stopped by. I had two special key blanks that I brought with me and he looked one and told me it wouldn't work as it wasn't the correct blank so I got back In the car and realize the second one was actually the correct blank and brought it back in and he immediately started waving me away with a scowl on his face saying he won't cut any keys that aren't from his blanks..I used to be a regular here and I guess he didn't recognize me with my mask but he was just SO RUDE. I'm honestly super bummed about this interaction and probably won't be going out of my way to bring anything here ever again... :/ He also wasn't wearing a mask. read more

I took two pairs of shoes to fix the heels that were pretty much shredded and coming apart. When I received them back they were in tip top condition and beautifully repaired. You can tell the owner takes pride in the work he does. Ultimately I never met Oscar but his son Mike took care of me from the moment I walked in till the moment I picked up my shoes. He even called me to give me an update on pricing and the time they would be ready. I think its quality customer service that you don't get anymore from anywhere. Just a note for customers, its cash only. Thanks for taking care of my shoes and your great service! read more

One more glorious review for Oscar at Glenoaks shoe repair. I took a couple of my favorite sweet babies for some repair and they came back to me LIKE NEW!! Like seriously... Like new!! This is the kind of shop that makes you never want to move out of the neighborhood. read more

Very glad to have found this establishment close to my neighborhood. They are true to the craft and did an excellent job on two pairs of shoes that I've had for a long time. Very much satisfied with the work and the customer service; the gentleman that worked on my order was very friendly and professional. read more

Worst customer service I have ever received. The man did not want to listen to what I had to say and refused to help me with what I wanted. He was very very rude and practically yelled at me. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Are you having a hard time finding a good place to fix your louboutin's? Need your heel tips replaced or the rubber sole done? Need your so Kate's maintained? Whether they are patent leather or suede, this is the place to bring them if you're in the Burbank area. He does an amazing job! read more

Best shoe repair store! Very clean work and super friendly! Highly recommend for all shoe types! A+

If there were more stars available I'd use 'em. Oscar is a joy: so friendly and really understands that customer satisfaction is more than just fixing whatever shoe problem you bring in. I had a bad experience with another shoe repair shop in Glendale who shall remain nameless: I took in a pair of boots with a block heel where one of the heels was separating. The woman working was not friendly, quotes me $40 (!!!!!) to fix both heels, and expected payment in advance. I should have taken my business elsewhere but the place was close to my job and I didn't feel like running around to different places. The job was average. I had a shoe emergency (broken strap on day 2 of wearing them) and also a purse with a broken strap so I returned to Yelp to find a better shoe repair shop. Oscar's reviews speak for themselves so I took my items to him and he showed me why my shoe broke and assessed my purse and explained that the metal piece that he would replace wouldn't be the exact color of the existing one but he'd match it as closely as possible. Price quote: $14! $7 to fix the shoe and $7 for the purse and he said he'll only take payment when the job was done and I was smiling at the results. I returned to pick up my items today and am so happy with his excellent work! Oscar reinforced not just the broken strap but all 4 with nails so there will be no more accidents and my purse looks like new, I can't even tell which strap was broken. Do yourself and your shoes/purses a favor and go to Oscar! read more

An absolute sweetheart. Very easy to talk to, takes fantastic care of your shoes! Went in just to have a few pairs of leather boots and a pair of suede heels cleaned and buffed and he had me in and out in no time with lovely results!! read more

Happy to get my loub hi heels and Chanel purse and was so nice and honest I recommend this place and trust his work!

BIG NOTE: whenever I see nothing but 5 star reviews, I think it's an army of sock puppets/paid reviewers. For this business, I can guarantee that it's just the service. He's a really nice guy, really inexpensive, and extremely fast. *Extremely* old-school. How old-school? On the inside, he sells a handful of leather belts and random items. He also does keys. If you ask him to sing, I bet he would sing. Etc. Shops like his make me wish that all retail magically reverted to whatever it was in 1940. In any case, he fixed my shoe perfectly - it needed quite a bit of stitching and some leather buffing. He did all of it and charged me five dollars. :blink: I almost feel bad when I'm charged so little. So go to his shop. And his hours are 8:30 to 5. read more

Been here only once, but I honestly do not want to bring my business elsewhere. Oscar stretched out my leather derby skates for me, and did a wonderful job doing so. He is very courteous and sociable, on top of being a pro at what he does. My skates never felt better. Quick turnaround, and great prices, but the service is what gets you. Thank you Oscar! read more

Old shop, old fashion service! I went in to get a zipper repaired an a motorcycle boot. Job well done for just $12. When I pulled out my debit card the owner apologized and showed me a sign buried under some papers on the counter that said Cash Only. As I didn't have enough cash on me I was told very nicely to take my boot with me and come back tomorrow to pay for it. When was the last time someone trusted a new customer like this? I went to run some errands, wearing my repaired boot mind you, and came back with cash within the hour to pay the shop. I now recommend the shop to my co-workers and I will be a customer for years to come! read more

This was my first visit to Glenoaks Shoe Repair, but it definitely won't be the last. I took Oscar a battered leather Kate Spade purse I've had for almost 15 years and he made it look like NEW. Replaced the magnet/snap closure and restitched perfectly, and re-colored and polished the leather (which is an unusual color, very hard to match) beautifully. Not only that, but the pricing was very reasonable - $45 for the entire job (the closure repair being $10 of that). He was very up front about the cost and how long it would take, as well. I had honestly just about given up on being able to save the bag and Oscar did it! He is a true craftsman, an honest businessman, and a kind person - so glad to have a trusted place in the neighborhood to take my business! read more

Oscar, who is the owner is very nice and welcoming. He truly loves being a part of the Burbank community and takes pride in his work. Great prices. This is my new shoe repair shop! read more

My family has been coming here for years and we are always treated with so much kindness. The owner is truly skilled and knowledgeable. He can bring any worn out/old shoe, purse, or leather good back to life. I don't know how I manage to destroy the heals on all my shoes, but he's able to fix them and extend their life span. Quick turnaround, unbeatable skill, and affordable & quality work. read more

This place was fabulous! I'm not the type to keep shoes that are worn.. But I have a pair of Michael Kors that I love, and are the most comfy shoes for work and play.. So I keep them around. One of the heels' sole was exposed and the steel was making a clicking sound every time I stepped, so I checked out yelp to see where I could get a quick fix. Found this spot and made my way over. The owner was great! Super helpful and accommodating. $6 to fix. Would be ready in 2 days. Perfect! I didn't pick up my shoes for about a week, but he had them polished and ready when I arrived! Thanks fellow Yelpers for helping me find this little spot. read more

Hands down the best place for shoe repair that I've been to. Great job at a great price! The gentleman that works there is so nice and knows so much about shoes. I had some suede boots that were extremely slippery (especially in the rain) and I came in to have non-slip patches put on. The minute he took a look at them after I explained what was going on, he told me that the problem was actually the plastic heel that the shoes were made with, so he expertly replaced them with rubber ones and I haven't slipped in them since! Not only did he change out the heels (and save me some money from buying those patches), but he also refinished them so they looked almost new. On top of all that, I brought in two other pairs of shoes to be repaired and he gave me a deal because I brought so many in. Definitely definitely definitely recommend. read more

This guy is reasonable with pricing and is fairly available especially if you call him to wait for you if you are getting close to closing time...he actually cares and stays for you to help you...he is excellent with his talents and skills....recommend without any reservations....you will be coming back for all your shoe repair needs. read more
