Found them on Yelp and they got my shoes right! Nice to have a local cobbler in your zip code.

Always the finest craftsmanship and professional service. Meticulous attention to detail. read more

"CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME, C.R.E.A.M.! GET THE MONEY, DOLLA DOLLA BILLS, YA'LL!!" After completing a run on the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge (pause, check out my review for that bridge ) I called Hall's Shoe Repair to inquire if they could fix an old pair of running shoes. The gentleman on the line answered my questions and told me to come on in. With the old shoes in the trunk, I zoomed over to Ghent and rushed to the repair shop. The running shoes were 2 years old, and a portion of the fabric had torn from the sole. I wanted to give these shoes a little more life. He told me that he could easily repair the shoe. The price $10-not bad! I reached to whip out my card and he apologized that he didn't tell me they only accept cash. Because he forgot to tell me, he allowed me to pay when I picked up the shoe. They normally take payment when you drop off the shoe(s). Definitely giving him some kudos for that. 2 days later, I arrived with cash in hand and the shoe looks great! The service is fast & efficient. If you need shoe repairs, this is the place to go. But remember, before you drive here ask yourself the question Gangsta Boo asked 21 years ago: "WHERE DEM DOLLAS AT??" Cuz this is a CASH ONLY establishment, baby! read more

Friendly service! I visited to have a belt resized...I'd purchased an expensive leather belt and didn't want to hack extra holes into it myself. The wonder was super friendly and took care of it on the spot. Shoe repair is a dying art...in a society that would prefer to chuck an old or worn pair of shoes rather than repair them... I appreciate businesses like this. Thanks Hall's! read more

They did an amazing job with fixing my cowboy boots! will be going back to them for the next repair, they even shined them for me!

Affordable and professional service--nice folks too! I brought a pair of boots here that I love, but that started squeaking. It was driving me crazy so I never wore them. Finally I took them to Halls, and the cobbler here said he would be able to fix them -- five days later and they're silent like before! Price was really reasonable, to boot. Thank you!!! read more

Brought my boots in because the right foot zipper kept splitting from the bottom-up. The pull broke off from trying to get it zippered-down after it split so I could get the boot off. Before bringing them in, my husband tried to fix the zipper, twice, and it failed. He even removed the cross-tab that holds the teeth in place at the bottom, cut one tooth out and re-aligned them, replaced bottom tab...still a fail. I TOLD the gentleman this, expecting they'd have to put a new zipper in. He told me they could repair it and to pick them up in two days. 15 bucks ( a real deal, I thought) and 2 days later my boots were ready. He handed me the boots in their brown paper bag with order# affixed. I took them out to examine, all they did was replace the pull and "tighten" some of the teeth-which (remember) my husband ALREADY tried. I saw that the bottom cross-tab was sticking out, like it had pulled away from the zipper. I showed it to him and he took the boot back, pounded it down and handed it back. I asked if he was sure the boots were actually "fixed". He just said "we've never had a problem before". I was skeptical, but took my boots home. The next time I wore them the same thing happened. I should have known. A complete waste of my time and money. (photo is when I looked down while seated at a restaurant, wearing them after the "fix" read more

My dog chewed the top of my Birkenstock's off, I loved these specific ones so I wanted to get them repaired rather than buy a new pair. I just picked them up and let's just say I 100% wasted the $80 to fix them. The footbed looks fine but the straps are ruined. Overall, very disappointed. read more

I called just before closing to inquire about a repair the next day. They were very nice in answering my questions, and did not sound annoyed that it was almost closing time. I arrived the next day, to have a couple of holes put into a leather belt. Unfortunately I had to leave and come back because it is cash only, and pay up front. So, I left, came back with cash, and they took care of it in less than five minutes! Both the gentleman that I spoke with the day before, and the woman who took care of me the next day were very nice and professional. Just remember to take CASH! read more

I just picked up two pair of shoes that NOTHING was done to them. The bottom was dirty as I handed to the owner and her excuse for not cleaning was "you are going to walk on them anyway why do you think I should bother to clean the bottom of your shoes." Originally I came in and said: I want my shoes to be cleaned and polished," she quoted me a price, requested cash only payment in advance, which I did....and here we are...a total rip off. Very upsetting. read more

Best soul repair I've ever had. These boots are better than when I bought them. Carolina boots. They don't make this type anymore. They listened to my needs and picked the one that I needed. No arguments, and held on solidly read more

Deserves a 5* rating! This is the second time I had my daughter's boots resoled and polished and they always come back looking better than new! My child loves her boots, wearing them trekking across campus as well as climbing rocks for photo shoots! While they accept only cash or check, they are worth doing business with. Check out the photos as sentiment of their craftsmanship! read more

A great little cobbler's shop like you'd expect to find tucked away in a big city. I've had them replace soles, heels, sueded a pair of shoes, and also reconditioned and cleaned a leather handbag for my wife. Even if you didn't ask them to polish your shoes when they did a repair, they did it any way. A real old-school asset to the area. read more

I use Hall's to repair my Birkenstock's. From new soles, foot beds, and even a pair of woven leather 3 strap sandals my sweet Scamp feasted on. I didn't think I would ever be able to wear those $275 woven Birkenstock's again. He saved them! The three straps had been chomped on-Mr Hall repaired them. He is my go to for any type of shoe repair. Even if I do have to travel 36 miles from Newport News-gives me a reason to play on Colley and 21st Street! Thank you Hall Shoe Repair. read more

A reliable place for all your shoe and leather fixing needs. I have taken multiple pairs of shoes here to get a new zipper or soles, and to make fixes on leather purses. Everything has come back quickly, exactly as I wanted, and at a very reasonable price. I always worry about places like this becoming too "old fashioned" and dying out, because every town NEEDS a place like Halls! Hope they're around forever! read more

I took a very expensive pair of Christian Louboutin patent leather shoes to Hall's Shoe Repair to get the soles redone and some extra padding put in by the toe area...when I picked up my shoes there was a scratch on the patent leather and a slight tear...I pointed the damages out to Mr. Hall...he basically shrugged his shoulders and said how do I know his shop was responsible for the damages to my shoes....being the OCD person that I am I took pictures of what my shoes looked liked when I dropped them off to his business for repairs and showed them to Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall continued to stand his ground that the damages made to my shoes were not an issue or concern of his. My feelings are/were very hurt because I trusted him to provide a service that I paid him for; I didn't expect him to damage my shoes nonetheless treat me rude as well as question my integrity. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED SUBSTANDARD! read more

These are the experts in shoe repair. They are very reasonably priced, prompt and do great work. They are, though, cash only at drop off.

The convenience of Hall's to my house was the initial driving motivation to drop off three pairs of heels for repair. The shop is situated right next to Kelly's Tavern on Colley. I warn you, the smell of shoe polish and cigarette smoke just about knocked the wind out of me, but I persevered. For $45 I had the heel caps replaced on two pairs and the soles replaced on one pair of rather expensive heels. I got them back 3 days later in pristine condition, and $45 was a small price to pay compared to what I would've paid to buy new. The counter sign indicates that a deposit may be necessary, but I wasn't asked to put one down. Hall's only takes check or cash, so be prepared. read more

I love this cobbler shop! I've always been satisfied with their work- from replacing heels, to repairing belts and handbags. Be prepared to pay with CASH only. Curbside parking is free but open spots are scarce most days. If you can, go early in the morning! read more

I asked the older gentleman for the cost of a repair. He told me $9 and a young child, who could have been his granddaughter said " no, it's $5". I never returned because I always felt I was being charged more than his white clientele. read more

Tried to bring in a shoe to be fixed but they said that it was beyond repair =( O well. It's a small store close by the Naro and it says "Shoe Repair." Best to park along the street. Make sure to bring cash or check because no credit cards are taken here. A lot of people seem to come here because they are always busy. They require a deposit so bring money with you! read more

I am not happy with the service and will never take any shoes there again. I not only had bad service but the lady working there was very rude :( Initially I took my ballroom dance shoes to Hall's to have the top lift repaired because it had broken off the heel. The inside nail had to be removed and a new top lift had to be nailed on. It should have been fairly easy to do but when I picked them I was told that they couldn't be repaired so they glued the existing top lift on the heel. The next time I wore them it broke again so I took them to the shop recommended by my dance studio and he repaired them properly and securely. He said that the previous cobbler should have been able to do the work as it was very straightforward. read more

This is the worst shoe repair service I've ever experienced. I dropped off two brand new pairs of boots never before worn to have them stretched. When I picked them up, they looked like they had been worn for a few seasons. The leather looked as though it had been exposed to water and then dried out, scratch marks all over the boots with the finish completely worn away on one toe of a boot. I called the owner to ask him what they had done to my boots and he didn't think that just stretching shoes would cause any damage and I could bring them back to have him look at them. He was not offering up any apologies nor did he really seem to care. Do not take your shoes to these people because once the damage has been done there is no turning back. read more

My wife and I have been patronizing Hall's since they opened in Ghent more than two decades ago. From the first time we used their services to today (4/30/16), we have always been completely satisfied. Whether we needed shines, sole replacements, or repairs, the work has been done well, promptly and at a reasonable price. Be advised that they now require payment in advance and that do not accept plastic. read more

Here's why I realllly like Hall's Shoe Repair: I took in a pair of well-worn Ecco shoes, and--after Mr. Hall examined the hole in the leather and the wear...and saw they were Eccos--he asked me, "...sure, I could work on these, but did you buy these at Nordstrom's?" I realized I had, and said "yes." They were at least a couple of years old. He said, "take 'em to Nordstroms, then. They should exchange them for you for a new pair. If they don't, I can take care of them for you." I'm sure many shoe repair businesses would either overlook that, or take them anyway just for the business. He did not, and additionally he had reminded me of Nordstroms fantastic return policy (so Nordstroms gets 5 stars, too). So, I got a new pair of $145.00 Ecco shoes! Mr. Hall's honesty denied him the business of repairing this pair...but he well-deserves this 5-star review. Go visit them! When he does repair my shoes, he's a master. read more

have gone here 3 times already for 3 different pairs of leather boots, and keep getting compliments on my 3-4 year old boots! this place keeps my shoe-wear very stylish, safe, and savvy. description of service: heel replacements, fill and repair. additional services: they shined up the leather each time for free, so i tipped! drawback: one heel that was nailed in to my black leather boots fell out months after repair read more

I dropped a pair of shoes off here for conditioning and polishing. I ended up polishing them myself! The final polish was haphazard at best and looked like someone gave up halfway through. read more

Great job with my boots and my wife's shoes!!! Great price and on time. Highly recommend

This is the best cobbler around!!! Everything I bring to them comes back shiny and almost new. They have fixed everything from torn pumps (that I love and wore out) to resoling men's dress shoes. I have used them for many years, so they have repaired MANY shoes. I tried another cobbler in Hampton, since I moved there 8 years ago, but will never go back to the Hampton guy. It is worth the 25 minute trip to Ghent, and not only for the shoe repair, but for the kind and friendly service. Try it. You will like it. read more
