This is hands down the best shoe repair shop in Orange County…read more I've seen shoes that were ruined by other repair shops get completely restored here. The craftsmanship is truly impressive, and the attention to detail is second to none. If you own luxury dress shoes, this is the place to go for sole replacement, restoration, and maintenance. The quality of work is outstanding, and the results speak for themselves. The shop is clean, parking is convenient, and the owner is always friendly and professional. I trust this shop with all of my shoes and continue to come back because the workmanship is consistently excellent. In my opinion, his skills are simply the best.

Absolutely could not have had a better experience, it makes me sad that they have such a low rating…read morebut trust me this place is SOO MUCH BETTER TO GO TO than Uptown Cheapskate which is 10 minutes away. I went there first and I had the absolute worst experience imaginable. Rudest employees with the biggest attitudes. I work retail and I get having one of those days but seriously it's your job to at least pretend to be nice since you're getting paid anyways.. Regardless thank you Buffalo Exchange! Can't wait to be back

I went and sold several items and had a delightful conversation with the (I believe vegan) dark…read morehaired manager she was telling me all about her experience at universal studios. Shortly after, she had to go on break so she swapped with a buyer (she was wearing glasses and a pony tail) half way through. She was weirdly abrasive, not friendly, threw my items on the counter with no regard, loud and just overall was not a good person to interact with. Maybe she was autistic and didn't know how to socialize? Maybe she was having a bad day? Who knows. When I asked for the pen to write my store credit total on the card (normally they do this every time you cash out) she gave me, she practically threw it at me. So I threw it back at her after I was done with it. After the obvious uncomfortable interaction, she just walked off. Basic customer service was atrocious as soon as the buyer filled in.

I freakin love this place! All things goth, metal, emo, alternative!…read more Ipso Facto is a hidden gem of downtown Fullerton. It's on the far end of the strip. Quiet location. They have a ton of stuff that made my gothy heart throb! Shoes, shorts, jackets, pants, purses, jewelry, stuffies, crystals and incense. What more could an alternative style girlie want?! I grabbed some jewelry, a healing crystal necklace, some incense. Found what I was looking for, and then some! It's a sea of black clothing when you walk in- love it!! They had limited plus sizes, otherwise I would have gotten some clothes. Super fun store! Great selection! Prices were steep, but how often to you find a unique store like this?! Service was fine. This spot is a must if you are in the alternative scene!

May this place never die. I've been coming here via my friend since we were kids in the 1900's…read more Recently visited because my friend was looking for a Nine Inch Nails shirt. It's still a small store but it has all the goth goods you need in a pinch. There were Nine Inch Nails shirts but only a few designs that my friend wasn't interested in. The owner or shop keeper was talking it up with some kids at the register. Reminds me of the good old days when going to certain stores was a cool experience and Ipso is one of them. They are located on the west side of Harbor Blvd, north of Chapman and in the heart of downtown so there's plenty of restaurants and eateries to choose from and walking distance to the train station and if you want to catch the bus, it's on the same street as Disneyland, just a half hour south on Harbor.

Not a lot of shoe repair places around so I found this place. A little hole-in-wall store in a…read moresmall strip mall. Just off a very smelly broken parking lot. Must have sewer problems. I brought my shoes in that had needed a sole replacement. He gave me a price that seemed like a very very high price for sole repair. I could go into a detail story about how I had to go back 5 times to this store because my shoes weren't ready or the soles continue to come apart from the shoe and he had to repair again and again. This guy is a bad communicator, he says he called me when my shoes were ready, but he didn't. The store smells because he smokes in his store. Hope he doesn't burn it down and the other stores next too him. So much clutter and disarray in his store. He gets a 1 star not 0, because he did eventually and reluctantly refund my money back to me. I should have read the other yelp reviews before I wasted my time and patience on this guy.

Do yourself a favor and heed the previous reviewers' warnings: DO NOT GO HERE…read more I made just that mistake and am very, very sorry I did. The state of the place is horrendous--bordering on squalor. There is also an unpleasant odor permeating and by the looks of the thick dust atop the very outdated shoes lining the rickety shelves along the wall, this hole doesn't see much business. The proprietor isn't any better. He's slovenly, preoccupied and argumentative. On 06/13 I dropped off a pair of shoes for some heel tips, buffing and polishing up. Simple. I told him I wouldn't be picking them up for a while, as I wouldn't be needing them right away. He insisted they needed to be resoled, so I agreed to let him. For this he charged me $35.00. (His credit card machine "is broken," so he takes cash only. Yet he still displays a MasterCard/Visa sign in his storefront window.) I don't know if this was a fair price or not but I do know now that I got reamed. I guess he saw me coming. Towards the end of the month I phoned him to let him know I would be coming in to pick up my shoes after the 1st. He gruffly replied that he had customers and hung up on me. When I went in to get my shoes, he couldn't find them. He kept holding up random pairs of the dusty/nasty-ass shoes from his shelves and asking me if they were mine. When he finally did locate my shoes from somewhere in the back room, not only were they not finished, he hadn't even started working on them. He told me I'd have to come back before 5pm. Returning at my own convenience the following day, I arrived to discover that he STILL hadn't even started working on my shoes. He disappeared into the back for a while, and when he reemerged he held up one of my shoes (which are black stiletto heels) with a heel tip he had just stuck on it that was not only an inch too big for my heel, but beige! I thought WTF? and said "But it's not even the same color. . . ." To which he replied "Oh, did you want them to match?" as though I had a screw loose. I said "Well, YES, I kind of assumed they would." So, he told me to wait while he worked on my shoes. I waited because I didn't want to come back and find yet again that he never started on my shoes. It didn't take him long to finish. He did a hasty slapdash job. Instead of polishing and buffing out the leather uppers and refinishing the metallic finish on the heels, he simply coated the entire shoe with a spray polish, completely ruining the finish on the heels. While he had promised to buff out the scuffs in the leather when I dropped off my shoes, he never even pretended to have attempted this. Now I have to find another cobbler to properly fix what this inept, charlatan bozo has done. I started to write a review here the day I got my shoes back, but as upset as I was, I decided to wait until I'd cooled off. Well, writing this review has made me pissed off all over again. DO NOT GO HERE.
