That part required no finishing and is something I could have done myself. I expected proper hemming on both layers for the price, so this was really disappointing.

It is so difficult to find a shoe repair shop in or around Oakland anymore. This neighborhood shop…read moreis very small, a little hard to find, I drove past it 2x! Hahaha. The owners are very friendly and there was a little bit of a language barrier, but I think we worked around it just fine. I had 3 pairs of shoes repaired and 3 pairs of boots resoled and they did a wonderful job; great craftsmanship! The only downside is you cannot pay with any kind of cards, credit or debit are not accepted, so be prepared.

Multiple times, over and over. Nothing. Maybe they're a front for the CIA or the cartels (or both?) or maybe they are just rolling in so much money that they don't want or need new customers. Whatever their excuse, I am so glad I learned about their lack of professional courtesy and general ineptitude now, rather than later. That's why they get a star from me. I dodged a bullet! I strongly advise you to avoid this outfit.

I've had three pairs of designer shoes repaired here, and each one was restored to perfection. The pricing is very reasonable: I paid $15 for a simple heel replacement and another $15 to have the cloth strap on my Valentino slides reglued. My Tory Burch sandals didn't survive a night of salsa dancing--the straps came completely off both shoes--but Ike's brought them back to life for $45, and they looked brand new! They have a clear policy of paying in advance for repairs, and they accept all forms of payment. There's plenty of street parking nearby, which makes dropping off and picking up easy. They also carry a wide selection of shoe accessories like inserts, laces, polish, and leather oils. The owner has been at Ike's for seven years and took over the business just last year. His craftsmanship is amazing--he truly has a gift for reviving worn shoes and giving them a second life. One less shoe in the landfill is a step in the right direction, in my opinion.

During my last visit she had updated her design with different hardware to hold it together and offered if I wanted to update my piece at no charge to me! I declined appreciatively because the screw in rivets on my key chain, to me, look more badass ;) trust me this is definitely a place you can count on for quality and service.

He specializes in high-end luxury shoes and leather goods, and you can immediately tell he truly cares about quality craftsmanship. I was in a bind with a brand-new pair of Louboutin oxfords that needed sole protection before a wedding, and Torre was able to turn them around the same day. The work was flawless, reasonably priced, and done with an incredible level of care and attention to detail. He also cleaned up a very dirty YSL wallet and somehow made it look practically brand new again. Beyond the craftsmanship, he's just a genuinely fun person to talk to and clearly passionate about what he does. Super happy I found this place!
