Excellent experience! Visiting from out of town and I had a pair of shoes that I wanted to wear with my dress that were pretty scuffed from the last affair. Since the spot was right next to the hotel, I thought I would just bring it in and see what they could do. I believe it was Julio who helped me and he showed me a little spot test and said he could have them ready for me within an hour. I returned and they were ready to go, and they looked even better than I could've imagined, and especially with such a short turnaround. This place isn't cheap but you get we pay for and and they did a fantastic job. Thank you! Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend this place.. I've known them since 2014. They never disappoint me yet. So I have these Bally's sitting in my closet since 2013. Over the summer I noticed the soles dry rot. I didn't wanna just throw them away. I really love these sneakers. So I came up with an idea. The Leather Spa. Work there magic. Now I have a brand new fur Bally's read more

This place is definitely more expensive than typical cobblers, but they specialize in designer items. I somehow ripped my Loro Piana Summer Charm Walk loafers, and they repaired the suede to look brand new. I've had other shoes treated and repaired here before--it's pricey, but I think it's worth it. The downside is they push store items on you, which can be a bit annoying. Also, the wait time can be up to three weeks. read more

Having known that Leather Spa is Christian Louboution's unofficial official repair shop for quite a while, I wanted to wait until I could actually take my Loubs to a physical Leather Spa store. Sure, they can do it all online, but nothing beats doing something personally. So on my latest New York trip, my shoes were sufficiently beat up enough after almost two years of wearing them to justify a trip here. Staff here are great. I really wasn't sure whether to go for a full redo of the red lacquer, which quite honestly I didn't see the point of because the second you walk out the door it's getting scratched again, or the red rubber sole, which I wasn't sure about at first but warmed up to once they told me how they did it. Basically, they scratch off all the remaining red lacquer on the bottom of the shoe and then put the rubber sold there so that it's evenly layered with the remaining lacquer. After discussing my options with staff, I decided to go with the rubber sole, because quite honestly as much as the lacquer is the trademark Louboutin feature, I'm not going to waste my time redoing it again and again and again. Also, my shoes did feature some general wear and tear, so I needed that fixed. They grabbed my address and told me it would be about 3-4 weeks to ship back home to California. Obviously, I couldn't write this review without actually receiving the shoes and evaluating their work. I can see why Christian Louboutin himself has blessed Leather Spa. The red rubber sole fits perfectly, and all the scratches and imperfections my shoes had gathered over the nearly two years of use were all buffed out. Honestly, it almost felt as if my shoes were new again. I am extremely happy with the work Leather Spa did. Staff were great on explaining exactly how everything would work, and the shoes were fixed as described. Since I have yet another pair of Loubs, I'll definitely bring them to Leather Spa once I need to read more

I recently lost a ton of weight and my brand new Gucci belt that I purchased just a few months before was several inches too long. I went to the Gucci boutique to ask them to add extra holes. They told me that they don't add holes but referred to this place. They said that they refer lots of their clients to this location because they do good work. Good enough for Gucci, good enough for me! I had the choice of getting the leather cut shorter (they would cut near the buckle) or add more holes. They quoted me $48 to cut it shorter or $2 per hole. No brainer. I did the holes. I only needed two extra holes on the belt. I picked it up an hour later and it was done and perfect. The two extra holes looked exactly like the original holes. Evenly spaced and the holes were the exact size. Final price was $4. They don't even add tax. I was so happy with the service and the quality of work that I just gave her a $5 and told her to keep the change. I ruined a different Gucci belt several years ago by taking it to a random shoe repair place that placed the holes too far apart and not in line with the other holes. It completely ruined my belt and I believe they charged like $10 for the holes. Do yourselves a favor and bring your belts to this place. I have several other belts at home that need shortening. I will be bringing them soon! read more

1 start for the clean space 1 star because the lady helping me out was somewhat pleasant. So I go into have my backpack repaired. Once of the straps had come undone. A simple fix, though. You just need to insert it back in and then sew. So the lady looks at it and says "it's going to take about three weeks." Three weeks!? Really!? On something that would only take 5 minutes to fix? But having never had a bag repaired, I'd deal. Then she tells me it's going to cost $96 (NINETY SIX DOLLARS!!!!!) to fix. Let that sink in... 3 weeks.. and for $96. So I left and went to a shoe repair place a block and a half away and the nice guy looks at it and says "That's going to be $15. Would you like to pick it up today?" Which place do you think I went with.. LeatherSpa.. what are you thinking!? read more

I brought a Chanel and a Celine bag here. Both were hack jobs yet it cost me almost $700? All this place does is spray paint the bags with the color, maybe rub it down with some generic leather oil. Both my bags started cracking within a week of getting it back from them. They are definitely scam artists here. Never again! What a ripoff read more

My bag has the same handles which my old repair shop sewed on. When I picked up my bag the staff member at the register said they "tightened" the handles. Initally, when I took my bag in I was told by their staff that leather handles would be replaced. Why would I pay over $120.00 to have the handles tightened? That doesnt make since. I am very disappointed. read more

Leather Spa - Downtown - I am not happy with the service I received from The Leather Spa on John Street. - Shoe Repair Near Me - New York, New York

I had a disappointing experience at this shop. I brought in a pair of $230 flats and paid $180 to repair them. Given the cost, I expected nothing but perfection in my repair. However upon picking my shoes up I was disappointed to see that repairing the sole of the shoe entailed them fixing only the sole of the heel and the top of the sole, not also the middle of the sole, aka the entire sole. This was a cheap attempt not to replace all of it. I was mislead when I dropped the shoes off and was told that would be done. How a shop could lie to you and charge such a high price is disturbing and upsetting. I've never had an issue at other shoe repairs between what is communicated will be done and the work that is actually done. I will advise the shoemaker not to recommend this shoe repair to customers. Please be painfully explicit if you intend to spend your money here Photos demonstrate the lack of work done. read more

Let me make one thing clear- I have been using leather spa for years now. I have referred countless friends and family members here. However i had a very poor experience today as part of the customer service. I handed over a pair of Sophia Webster metallic shoes for a tap. The right show had two small scratches as pictured below. When I got the shoe back, there were many more scratches on it. I asked about the scratches- and the leather spa had taken pictures of the scratches from before as well. The manager DID NOT acknowledge that there were more scratches when I picked up the shoes, even though the pictures clearly show them. I was not looking for money back or anything. He also said that there was nothing they could do about it. Fine. But a simple ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their mistake would have sufficed. Very disappointed in the customer service I received! read more

Definitely worth a visit for a shoe shine. As someone who rarely carries cash, the ability to pay for the shine with a credit card is amazing. Further, the nice leather chairs with the recently added iPads allow you to browse the internet during your shine. A number of popular apps are installed, including news apps like CNN and BBC, as well as Reddit. I've never had to wait for a shine, and they always do a great job. For $6, it's a deal you can't beat and the price leaves room for a nice tip. They will occasionally get busy towards the middle of the day, and I've been told in the past that they weren't doing shines at that time, despite the sign advertising the same. This was a bit annoying, but what can you do? I'd advise they make clear that shoe shines aren't available at a specific time if that is the case. I also get the sense that shoe shines aren't a revenue driver, so you're treated in proportion to the value you give the company. This shows through in service. Beyond shoe shines, my girlfriend took some shoes here for resoling, which took approximately 2 weeks. She's been happy with the result. She also purchased some water proofing spray, which is one of their many leather accessories that you can purchase in-store. If you're in the area, cashless, and need a respectable shoe shine, definitely take the 10 minutes to stop by. read more

Wow! These guys are truly the best. I took my great aunt's 1940s patent leather and bakelite purse here for a major cleaning. It had been sitting in my grandmother's basement for over 70 years and was dull, scratched, and stinky. I picked it up this morning and actually GASPED when I saw it because they did such an amazing job. The leather is supple and shiny and the bakelite (which I was particularly worried about) is perfect. They even cleaned it TWICE for me at no extra charge to remove the smell. They are miracle workers. The staff was also amazing - kind and sweet. They both called and emailed me to let me know when the purse was ready for pickup. You would be a fool to take your precious leather goods anywhere else. I look forward to bringing in my Alexander Wang bag next for a tune up. Thank you Leather Spa!! read more

Best shoe shine job. Ever. This review is regarding Paul, the Ecuadorean shine jockey at the Brookfield Place/WTC tunnel shoe shine station. Stopped by on a whim to rejuvenate my four-year-old battered Kenneth Cole workhorses. Was seated promptly during the end-of-day rush (5:30pm) and Paul went to work, starting with a neutral cream, then rubbing in at least three layers of hard polish which were driven home with both wet and dry buffing that brought my old shoes to a near-golden shine. Seriously, the shoes looked better than when they were purchased new. And for $6, the result was an absolute bargain worthy of a generous tip. This was in stark contrast to the hack jobs available at several store-based shines at Midtown competitors, which consist of maybe a layer and a half of a brown cream-based treatment and dry buffing only. Those polishes last about a week; wonder what kind of mileage I'll get out of this one? Additional credit for the modern shine station, which featured both AC power outlets and USB ports to give the phone its own electronic shine during the wait. read more

Based on other reviews Leather Spa is great for shoes, but apparently SHOES only. I dropped off my favorite leather belt so that the screws on the buckle could be reinforced and for a new notch on the tightening end. I assumed they were professionals at this place.. they convinced me they knew how to make the belt how I wanted using their preferred method, reassuring me of the results. A month went by since I dropped my belt off and they never called or emailed me to tell me it was ready. I figured they were probably too lazy to let me know and that my belt had to be finished by now so I went to pick it up. When I saw it, it had turned into a child's belt - all I wanted was an extra hole! They had cut off a little over 3 inches and there was no extra hole whatsoever. When I tried it on it barely fit, only on the very last notch which left me with no versatility towards wearing or would be useless if I gain any weight. They told me I approved the cutting of 3 inches and I said there had to have been some miscommunication because I approved minimal cutting where the leather meets the buckle. The staff argued with me when I expressed my disappointment and offered no compensation. I would not have been upset if I brought my belt to a cheap repair place where I knew what I was paying for, but leather spa is SUPER EXPENSIVE. I truly expected to be happy with my investment and it's not the case. Do not risk bringing your expensive or favorite leather bags and accessories here. read more

What a fantastic place. I was staying at a hotel nearby and had some new shoes that were a smidge too big. I took a chance and stopped in 10 minutes before closing and presented my problem. They knew just what to do. But they didn't just hand me a product, take my money and push me out the door. They personally fitted it in the shoe, made sure it worked and then presented me with a bill of all of 3 dollars and change. They could have charged me $10 for the quality of service alone and I wouldn't have blinked. This place is a treasure. A+ all the way! read more

Just when I thought it couldn't be done, they did the impossible. They cleaned my favorite boots after 2 shoe repair places said it couldn't be done. My favorite leather boots had severe damage (I really have no idea how they got stains on them, but the leather was also damaged) and I wasn't sure if they could be fixed. After visiting the leather spa, the manager explained the process to me and said the leather would be steam cleaned and the stains could come out, but it would take around 3 weeks and, and the leather may be slightly darker. He also gave me a quote that I thought was kinda high, so I took a change and got a second opinion. The other shoe repair places stated that "no one could get the stains out and the only option would be to dye the boots a different color". So I didn't want to change the color of my boots so I went back to the Leather spa and took a risk with my babies. Around 2 weeks later they said my boots were ready. I went to get them and they honestly look brand new. The color us slightly off but not more than the original color and I'm OK with that. All of the stains are out and the boots look amazing. I highly recommend them!! read more

This place defines what a good shoe shine experience ought to be: comfort seating, friendly staff, thorough shine from front to back to sides. The price is a lot higher than your traditional local places, but it is indeed the best, 5 star experience.

I haven't picked up my shoes yet but i dropped off my Louboutins to get the red soles repaired. i thought i wanted it repainted and but the lady explained to me exactly what the different services were and i understood better. so i opted for getting the red rubber soles put on which would be better so they wouldn't scuff again. i'm excited to pick them up and if was finished faster than i expected. i could've gotten them delivered (i live in jersey) but i hate paying for shipping lol so i will be getting them soon. i'll update when i pick up my shoes. hopefully there are no issues. read more

The man was very helpful I told him I wanted to add two holes to my belt and he was very helpful and it was very fast and only $2 per hole.

The manager at this particular location is wonderful to deal with and bent over backwards to make me happy. I've always been impressed with their level of craftsmanship but the outstanding customer service compelled me to write a review. read more

If you value your luxury bag please do not bring it to this establishment! I dropped off my Celine Trio bag to get it conditioned and have some scratches buffed out. When I picked up my purse I thoroughly inspected it and first off the scratches were pretty visible but apparently it was "the best they could do". For $140 I was expecting much more. But this is besides the point! The pristine gold Celine logo embossed on the front of the purse was returned to me noticeably faded and faint like it was rubbed off. I brought this to their attention and their response was that "no, we never touch the logo it's impossible for us to have done that". BS. When I dropped off my purse the embossed logo was vibrant an new and when it was returned to me it looked old and faded. A wild coincidence? More like incompetence. read more

I brought in my brand new pair of magnanni whole cut dress shoes to have flush toe and heel taps (which they call French toe plates) installed. If you love dress shoes, then you know that this is a very specialized job which is done at very few cobblers in NYC. The only other place in NYC that I know of which does this is B. NELSON, but I was hesitant to go to them after reading many bad reviews of them.) The Leather Spa is the place to go and did an awesome job on my shoes. It only took them a couple days to finish and I got an email and phone call telling me when they were finished. I am thoroughly impressed by Leather Spa. The employee who helped me, Jose, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Went in to purchase a pair of insoles to help with my flattened flat feet on the recommendation of my chiropractor who is one awesome guy. They were extremely helpful, no hard sell which I hate and is a big turn off. I ended up buying a new pair of laces and getting my 15 year old brown Dr Marten's [DMs] which I had bought on sale for about $30 in London - SPIT AND POLISHED by Sam the man. Yea a long winded story just to say this was my first shoeshine and loved it. Sam is the best shoe shine man in the world. Now my boots are like mirrors to my feet, I love it. read more

The shop looks absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. Both of the employees were helpful and knowledgeable. I brought in a new pair of Magnanni mens dress shoes to have a toe plate installed, or as they call it a french metal tip. I am very very particular about my dress shoes and this is a very specialized job. I only know of one other shop in NYC that can do this type of specialized job and that is B.Nelson or VIP shoe. I didn't want to go to B.Nelson because some of their reviews are very bad and didn't want to take the chance with this beautiful pair of shoes. I dropped the shoes off today and the employee said it should take about 4 days. I will update this review when I get the shoes back. read more
