I had a fantastic experience working w/ K Shoe Repair. I brought in a pair of my favorite leather boots to get the soles repaired as I'd worn through the rubber and had started to damage the wood in the heels. After taking a quick look, they knew exactly what they needed to do to get them back into tip-top shape. Not only did they do a fantastic job replacing the rubber on the heels, they also repaired the wood -- really breathing new life into the boots! And to top it all off, they were able to get the job done a day ahead of schedule -- 10/10 experience!

With my shiney boots of leather.

Rambo did a great job on my shoes. He assessed the damage to the shoes and suggested the right fix for the shoes. A whole new sole would have cost more than the shoes actual value so he was able to sew in the old sole and fix it as needed. I appreciated the honesty and the timely manner he got in done in. He even had to call to remind me they were done.It took less than a week. They look amazing. Almost better than new because they are broke in. Doctor Martins can look too fresh for my person style right outta the box so I'm really happy he was able to save my old trusty ones with out costing me an arm and a leg.

New rubber sole over leather.

I've used this place for at least 5 years. The owner recently changed. Happy to report the new cobbler is doing a great job. She quotes accurate and fair prices and doesn't try to up-sell. She left my Allen Edmond and Magali shoes in great shape and told me another pair was simply not worth spending g money on, aside from the heel.

After scraping the sticker off for a few minutes, this part took remover to get off. Also, you can see it's not a clean heel replacement..

I'd like to start by saying that despite older reviews, there is no language barrier issue anymore. The gentleman referred to in several other reviews is no longer the one who runs it. In his place is a friendly guy who speaks perfect english. That being said, I would absolutely not recommend this place. I was leaving for a trip late-morning Friday, and needed simple heels repaired on a couple of pairs of shoes. · The sign claims they open at 9am. I showed up at 8:50am on Wednesday and the guy finally rolled up at 9:30 then proceeds to take his time moving stuff around before taking my info. I told him about my trip, so he had me request next day service to be picked up on Thursday evening. (Quoted me $32) · I ended up getting out of work late, so showed up FRIDAY morning before my flight to pick them up. After waiting 2 minutes while the guy texted at the front desk without even a "hello, one moment please". They had not even been started and needed to be searched for. They were clearly marked for pickup on Thursday and yet- a day late- they had not been started. Guy started to tell me about his other business he runs and how things get mixed up. He asked for half an hour to do them even though he knew i was trying to get to the airport. Fine I guess... · I came back in 30 mins and they were done, just a not-great, quick job. I am rung up and asked to still pay normal price!!! NORMAL PRICE for shoes which WEREN'T EVEN DONE a day late, were a rushed job, and for which I stood around waiting not one day- but TWO. RIDICULOUS. As if we were robots, he could not seem to understand why that seemed a bit unfair to me and countered "I brushed the suede on the one pair of heels- that's extra- i didn't need to do that." UHHHH, that was your choice and, frankly, I didn't ask for that and would have rather just gotten my shoes back! He ended up taking $2 off. Absolutely ridiculous that he could feel good about that. Other not great things: See image for the super sticky stickers put all over my shoes, which needed to be removed with remover! Also, the job was really not great at all. BEWARE of this place and the frustrations that come with it. If you value time or money- or shoes- at all, steer clear.

Do you LOVE fast, and efficient service? K Shoe is located in the Safeway parking lot. I had 4 sets of keys made in less than 10 minutes. Thanks Mr. K.

Repaired shoe. New heel, sole and a reconditioning.

Awesome restoration of my suede shoes and Italian dress shoes. See photos. This lady is the new cobbler at this shop and she's doing a tremendous job. Reviews older than 6 months are for the previous person.

Okay, the deal is that mr k doesn't speak English very well but is super nice if you make any attempt to speak Korean and be polite. I went in with a pair of very expensive leather shoes that had a really bad, deep scratch on the front. All I did was follow the advice of an earlier reviewer and say hello in Korean, mr k laughed, took my shoes from me and fixed them on the spot free of charge! I walked out of the shop 5 minutes later with a smile on my face. I have had shoes re healed here in the past as well and he did a good job but was not very polite then. The secret is to be deferential and speak some Korean. The guy does great work for a good price you just have to approach him in the right way.

Left - before. Right - after

Her service was lovely and prompt. She fixed the zipper on a beautiful purse I got in Italy with my family. Highly recommend!

One of the heel tips had come off and the boot was either sticking on carpet or clicking on other surfaces.
