I recently brought a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps for repair. Unfortunately, my heel got stuck between cracks on the pavement of the street that it stripped off the heel tip of one of my heels. I might have cried a little. When I was done grieving my shoes, I searched for a good local Shoe Man. I found Golden Shoe Repair and paid them a visit. Armando assured me he could fix my shoes and will be ready in a week. I asked for a receipt/invoice for proof of me leaving shoes behind. I was secretly worried about leaving designer shoes for a week. But after sneaking in a picture on my phone of the shoes on their counter with Armando on the background, I left more at ease. I said my good-byes and assured Armando I would be back in a week. I saw a young man sitting and waiting for his dressy shoes getting shined. So they do shine shoes for anyone wondering. :) They are Cash Only. read more

I wasn't sure if it was a shoe repair or a second hand store. A lot of electronics being sold (t.v.'s etc.) He did reattach a shoe soul well and he repaired a travel bag zipper. Friendly service in a chaotic store. read more

I took three pairs of shoes to be repaired and was charged $60! The first time I wore one of the pairs the shoe that was fixed, broke completely. I'm going to take it back and try and get my money refunded. I think he does too many things at one time. read more

Armando did such a good job restoring my black suede half boots, I brought him these 30 year old stilettos...he did his magic and restored the color, sewed close a hole...stretched to help made what was tight looser, and replaced heel tabs and glued what was peeling. These shoes 30 yrs ago cost a small fortune, so this repair was worth it to me...about 40 bucks. Also Armando called me to let me know the shoes were ready, as he promised when I first dropped them off. Also I think he turned on the air conditioning knowing I would be arriving within 15 minutes. Really thoughtful especially as it was a 100 degree day. Thank you Armando. read more

Do not go there!! Brought some Danner boots to get resoled. Went to pick them up and he put a different kind of sole on it. It was Vibram sole but not the one that was on originally. Told him that wasn't I wanted. He said they didn't have the one that was on before. Told him he should have called me to ask if I wanted that. Argued with him and he wouldn't fix the problem. Basically saying oh well, take it or leave it. Had no choice since I paid up front for it. Even gave example if I brought in some expensive LV red bottom heels and you put some black bottoms on it, it doesn't make it the same if it is the same name brand. The sole he put on was way cheaper too. Charged me $125 for this POS work also. read more

There are some professions where you really have to love what you do for a living to make your work a success. I think shoe repair is one of those professions. This is a small "Mom & Pop" shop inside a tiny strip mall on Montebello Blvd. The owner is a very nice gentleman who does excellent work and charges very fair prices. I've brought in dress shoes and boots that have separated at the heel or have had to be re-glued in a certain spot.(Before I used to just trash the shoes but I realized I was just throwing away money). The work here is always done quickly and professionally. Save your favorite shoes from ruin and bring them to Golden Shoe Repair to keep them looking great. Parking can be tight since this is a tiny strip mall. CASH ONLY! read more

Patrick helped us at the LB (stearns) location.. I made him aware of the shoes I currently have and quickly found me the in between Hokas and the fit like a glove.. there's no price on experience and knowledge.. thanks Pat read more

Easy! In and out. Price quote on the spot. Ready as promised. Keep local shops running! Would use again

I called to see if he was still in business. He had to leave the day I dropped off my shoe but he waited for me to get there and I was able to pick my shoe up the next day and it was done perfectly...he charged me $10 you need cash. I think I'm going to try other shoes that need new taps. read more

He did exactly what my shoes needed. Affordable and quick. Also, excellent customer service.

Sam did an excellent job on the 2 purses and 1 and a half pairs of shoes we needed fixed. My boots needed the heels replaced, and he also polished them for an additional $5 and they look brand new now! The purses straps have been repaired and also look great. My mom's 1 shoe loop was fixed perfectly too. All that work for $35 was well worth it. Not only that, but he was able to get our stuff done by the next day! Excellent shop, we'll be sure to come back. read more

I used to go to a shoe repair place in El Sereno, but lately their hours of operation have been inconsistent and I haven't been able to get a hold of them via phone so I had been searching for a new place. Not only is Golden Shoe Repair closer to me, his service and prices have been great! I've already been back 3 times in the past month. I've had platform sandals and boots fixed and some stretching done on a new pair of boots. This is now my spot for all of my shoe repairs. I love to support small/local business owners! Keep up the great work! read more

I was disappointed in the work done on a purse repair where the strap had to be reattached. On the upside it was done quickly within a few hours but the quality of the work was lacking. I probably won't go back there. If they did such a poor job on a simple strap reattachment, I would not take a more expensive item. $25 was an overcharge for shorty work on a $75 purse! read more

I've been coming here for about 8 years now and the only reason I give 2 stars not 5 is because he is inconsistent in how he prices his work. Each time, I come to re-sole my work pumps or the heels for my boots, and usually, it's about $4-8 per pair. This time, it was $10. He does a good job but I don't like his inconsistency. This is the first time he's hiked his price up like that on me, and unfortunately, that means I need to find a different place to come to now. Everyone else- you won't be disappointed in his work, but don't expect his prices to be fair, or to be rewarded in any way for your loyalty! Go somewhere else for consistency. I support small businesses and understand the struggle-- so I know it's "just" $10 to help the business, but as a customer, I put a premium on honesty, integrity, and consistency from a store owner! read more

I had an expensive pair of boots where the sole came apart from the top of the shoe. The man there was friendly, did beautiful work, and I was able to get them back the next day. Not the cheapest but not expensive either. I would use them again. read more

Did a decent job on shortening my purse strap, but quoted me $6.00 while he was looking over the purse. when my purse was done, I gave him a $10.00 bill and he gave me $2.00 change. I then told him that he had told me $6.00 but he only gave me $2.00 back. He then said, "No, you misunderstood me, I said $8.00 cause it had two sides." I said, no I heard $6.00. Again, he said I heard wrong. BEWARE, make sure you get a price quote BEFORE the job is done.!! I won't go back. read more
