This is my first experience, trying this repair shop. I have come back to the shoe repair store…read morethree different times and my items were not completed and every time I get a different excuse.

I liked that he walked me through it and I was standing there the whole time as he went through my items piece by piece.

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

Love this place. A true gem. Its not a gigantic store, but if you know, you know, everything in…read morehere is top quality, despite the pricing be affordable across the board. The owner Terry is always gracious in greeting me when I stumble through the front door,and James is as knowledgeable of everything stocked in the store as he is the stock market. Sometimes I stop in strictly just to peruse, and yet I NEVER leave without a purple bag of SOMETHING...The front window display is always changing and always fun to look at. thanks Ipso for being a true staple in our community.

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.

I would give zero stars for this review. Nelson prides himself as a true artisan, but that is not…read morean accurate assessment of his skill set. He regales with tales about his days doing shoe repairs for Nordstrom before striking out in his own, but his talents are quite limited. My experience proves he is no old-world cobbler. I took a pair of Stuart Weitzman Espadrilles for a resole. The finished product looked good; however, the repair was short-lived. I put the shoes on and my foot sunk through the foot bed; the entire wedge heel was crumbling beneath my feet: DRY ROT. I returned to the shop with my crumbling shoes and Nelson was nonplussed about the damage. He insisted the shoes were intact when he performed the repair but that cannot be true. Removing the old sole required handling the wedge, which obviously was already compromised. A skilled artisan would have said the shoes were beyond repair. Nelson was more concerned about the $255.00 payday he charged for the repair than the actual structure of the shoes. He stood dumbfounded and refused a refund because he performed the task of replacing the sole. Buyer beware of this so-called artisan; he is an imposter, a mere poser masquerading as a cobbler.

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.
