The Gentleman (owner) was very eager to please.... I was in the area for a hair appointment & needed new lifts on a pair of heels.... I hoped to drop off & pick up after my appointment/ as I was on limited time heading south for the weekend. I was phoned while still at my appointment that my shoes were ready. I was very pleased and would highly recommend his services. He did a great job and I appreciate good customer service.... Very hard to find these days/ this business deserves a five star review!!!

Sewed up a broken zipper on a small leather carry bag given to me as a gift. Took a few minutes. Has previously made a pair of my old shoes look brand new, and fixed the velcro closures on a jacket. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Cash or check only. read more

Spring cleaning my closet I found two well worn pairs of boots that have not been worn in a long time (both needed new heels) and a good cleaning. I was so pleasantly surprised when I picked them up two days later. They looked nearly new !! It's nice to find a great shoe repair in the neighborhood. read more

I find the owner to be very rude, scary and condescending. He did a repair on my bag and didn't stand standby what he said when it broke again. He charged me so much and I couldn't believe he denied ever fixing it. He lost his temper, spit as he spoke to me and cursed at me. He sent me out of his store in tears. Other customers who were watching were in shock too. Be careful from this guy, as he's like an electric wire. read more

The owner always repairs shoes quickly & efficiently! We are pleased with all the work that he's done for us.

Friendly and professional - plenty of off street parking. I highly recommend Isaac. We will be back.

Main Shoe Repair in Livingston is owned by the Caldwell Shoe Repair which gets very high marks. I highly recommend these businesses if you have shoes pocketbooks, or leather goods in need of repair. Yesterday, I brought in a suede jacket that was torn. The owner quickly came up with a solution, (create a patch and sew it in such a way that it looks like it was meant to be part of the jacket), and in 2 hours, I got a call that the jacket was ready. I picked it up today and the repair work was fantastic. I will bring all of my shoes and leather repair needs to these ships, and so should you. The owner is personable, prices are very fair, and workmanship is outstanding! read more

Fixed my LV bag made it perfect. The zipper had an issue and he made it just like new. Best addition to the town!!!

I've had sneakers repaired for my son, leatherwork done on a belt and even a seam fixed on my golf bag which i was told to wait just 10mins before being done. Isaac has reasonable prices for services performed and is a humble soul who takes great pride in his work. read more

The owner is incredible to deal with and incredibly talented as well. Kind, fastidious, reasonably priced and knowledgeable.

Very thorough professional - did an awesome job repairing my suede shoes that I got from Australia. He completely turned them around and made them look like new. Thank you Isaac! read more

I wish I had taken a before and after picture, but he did an amazing job on my dress shoes. I had a heal that was coming off that was fixed and he managed to make two large defects in the leather at the toe completely disappear. I was shocked at how my shoes look brand new and it only costs me $40 compared to $50 or more when I had other pairs done at different shops. 100% my go to place now! read more

Great service at Main shoe repair! Quality, value, quick turn around are all components of main shoe repair. Highly recommend!

Prompt, reliable service, and excellent quality repair. Wife's shoes required work, and they met the challenge with excellence

Extremely pleasant and considerate business. Will be bringing my older bags back for repair.

I needed a full-sole lift on one shoe of a new pair, and they did a terrific job. This isn't the first shoe I've had done here. Always excellent work, and ready when promised. read more

DO NOT USE. I brought in a pair of dress boots for a new heel. After I picked them up I went to put them on and the zipper fell off in my hand. I brought them back to repair the zipper and he wanted to charge me. The zipper worked fine when I brought them in and fell off when I picked then up so he definitely is responsible. He told me he would have to take apart the leather to put the zipper back on and it was a big job. He insisted the zipper would not go back on without taking it apart. He even demonstrated how the zipper could not go back on from the top. He was very rude and nasty. I left the store and after 5 minutes I was able to get the zipper back on and it is now working properly. Not only was the owner rude about insisting that I pay for the repair, but he was DISHONEST about what needed to be done to fix the zipper. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN WITH YOUR SHOES. HE IS NOT REPUTABLE!! read more

I brought a messenger bag in today to be repaired. Isaac did a great job and it was ready in a couple of hours. And the price was great!!

Friendly man, incredible service and high quality job. Came here to get more holes in the strap for my Loeffler Randall wedding shoes and I am very happy with how it came out. My whole family comes here and we will continue to return! read more

Shoes came out like new! Had expensive suede shoes with stains and I can't believe what a great job they did. Highly recommend.

I was so nervous to get my beautiful bag fixed because the leather is very high quality. The intricate detailing around the shoulder strap had come loose and I didn't think it would be possible to repair. Isaac assured me it would be fixed within 2 days. He called me after 1 day to say it's ready. When I picked up my bag i was stunned. There was absolutely no way to tell that the bag had every been broken. His work was literally perfect and I am so happy. I intentionally waited a few months to write this review to make sure that everything stayed in place, and the strap feels just as strong now and looks just as beautiful as it did the day I picked it up. Isaac is a perfectionist and a very kind person to talk to. He really knows what he's doing and I highly highly highly recommend him and I would trust him with expensive designer bags & shoes. read more

This business owner should be ashamed of his treatment of clients. Ruined a pair of shoes and rather than making good and trying to fix them, gaslighted me. Bad enough that the work was shoddy, but at least own up to the mistake rather than becoming defensive and rude. read more

Great job on shortening too high heels and fixing and adding to soles of my dress shoes. Very prompt as well. I highly recommend.

the WORST owner is nasty and arrogant I was a great customer and he would not take one second for me went to Phoenix shoe repair up the street a true gentleman and did not even charge me ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL LIVINGSTON LADIES SHOULD GIVE PHOENIX A TRY AND BLOW OFF MAIN read more

I just returned from Main show repair on Livingston Avenue. I was very pleased with the professional job that was done on my 3 handbags and my husband's golf bag. I brought a pair to be repaired when I picked up the fixed items and Isaac fixed them for no charge. He is a very nice person. He was extremely fast in his repairs. Same day!! read more

I wish I had before and after pictures of all the shoes I've taken to Main Shoe Repair. For my most recent pair of boots that I took to get fixed, the bottom of the heel had fallen off and the leather around the sides of the heels were also falling off. These boots are years old and they look brand new! I've taken many other pairs in (boots, dress shoes, men's, women's), all with the same result. Their prices are very reasonable and their turn around time is fast - usually ready the next day or soon after that. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I don't ordinarily take the time to write reviews, but this one deserves it. I wandered into Main shoe repair because I happened to see the sidewalk sign that said they fix handbags. I had just returned from a trip and had a tote bag where the handle needed repair And all of the stitching needed reinforcement. The owner, Isaac, greeted me with a smile and assured me that he would take care of it. Less then an hour later called to let me know he had finished it. When I returned, I brought an expensive handbag with a complicated metal clasp that had broken. Isaac said he would do his best to fix the clasp. No more than a day later I received a call that all was repaired. Not only had he fixed the clasp and secured it better than before, but he also cleaned the whole bag for me free of charge! I will never go to any other repair store now that I have found a local, friendly, reliable place for shoe and handbag repair and cleaning. I highly recommend this merchant! read more
