I had a great experience. I needed a last minute shoe repair and he came through for me. Super friendly and fast - 30 minutes and I'm all set! Thank you! read more

I've been going to Rico's for years now and have followed him to this location from his previous shop. I love his professionalism and his craftmanship. Yes, prices have increased but unfortunately that's the economy that we are in today. read more

Charged me upfront to clean Ecco leather shoes. Had long conversation about what I needed. Picked up shoes today and they never cleaned them. Yelled at me calling me vulgar names and was trying to throw me out of his store. He even admitted he never tried to clean the white soles and charged me extra $10.00 for it. I have before and after pictures. I will be disputing the credit card charge. I only went there because a coworker recommended this place. BEWARE read more

Yes, they're still at Willowbend Mall all these years later! I was so relieved to find out they're still here after some of my favorite shoes were ruined the night before! I went to a day party where they had a decking type of flooring and chose to wear heels to the event-needless to say I thought it was over for these shoes when one of the heels went right through the slats and got tore up honey! I mean toeee up toe up lol! But thanks to Rico shoe care they were brought back to life omggg and the only thing I regret is not taking a before picture because they were truly resurrected by this shoe magician!! The right one was worn also and he fixed that one too! All for around $20! Thanks again- a happy customer for life! read more

Rico Shoe Care Center - Heels brought back to life! - Shoe Repair Near Me - Plano, Texas

Best place for quality repair work on shoes or handbags! Quick turn around, as well! A zipper broke on a fairly new (and nice) weekender bag. One tailor I took the bag to said it would be a $40-60 repair & a few weeks. Rico's charged $21 and the bag was ready for pick up THE NEXT DAY! The owner said it could be ready in 30-45 min (same day), but I could not wait. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent workmanship always! I have been using their services for years! Great service and prices!

I brought in a pair of Ugg boots I originally purchased in January 2014, they were sufficiently loved and showed it. Damaged from salt, city streets, and the occasional trip, they had seen better days. I was ready to donate them and get a similar pair of Ugg boots this season, but when I tried on the new boots they didn't feel as good as my beat up ones. I was perplexed and decided to shop around a little, then I saw this store. They did an amazing job restoring my boots. We discussed changing the color of the heel and it turned out great. My total was $50, a lot better than buying another pair of $200 boots. These should last another 4 years now, no problem. read more

Rico does a fantastic job! I've used him for several services- nonslip soles, stretching, polishing, etc. I found this shop several years ago when I lived near Willow Bend. I now live in Rockwall and still drive all the way to Plano to take my shoes to Rico. Absolutely worth the drive! read more

Just got back from picking up my Lucchese boots that were re-soled and an antique briefcase that had a cracked leather handle he repaired... he charged me $140, and here's what I got: The briefcase handle re-cracked within 20 yards of walking out of the store. The heals of the boots now look pink or magenta when they used to be brown. The stitching around the boot has some kind of brown stain scattered on it. The seams up the boot shafts have a brown pasty material on them. The stain he put on the soles only went around the sides, leaving some ugly yellowish unstained portions on the sides visible. The bottom of the soles had some various stain marks, random holes, cuts in the leather, and pen or marker lines. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in the work they did and will be having everything redone by a boot repair shop in downtown Grapevine this week. read more

I used to go there and have fancy shoes upgraded and put a sole on them and was happy with service , he used to charge me $70 This time for same service he is asking over $100 and when I took 8 pairs of shoes still want me to pay full price When I asked why he is telling me his rent went up as well !!! He is also becoming rude and arrogant and keep telling me how amazing he is, when I went to his store he ignored me for 10 min ! I would highly recommend to avoid this place since this Man is very greedy and all He cares is to take as much as possible money out of your pocket There are many other shoe makers and shoe repair around , don't let this man abuse you and take your hard working money out of your pocket I would recommend to report him to BBB if he keep over charging his customers , so authorities look in to his business manners and take action against him read more

This place came highly recommended to me from a friend of mine who use their services regularly. And this place will not let you down. I recently took two pairs of heels to them to add some non-slip half soles so I'm not sliding around when I'm running from one end of the building to the other at work in a mad rush of ungraceful adulting. For about $20 a pair, they did a beautiful job installing high quality soles with excellent grip. You can't even tell they were added by a third party! They finished the job in a little over an hour. The lady at the front desk area was very sweet and knowledgable about my questions and was happy to show me the soles to check if I approved of them before the service was done. I highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Dropped off two pairs of shoes to be restored over the weekend. We agreed on a Monday pick up. Couldn't make it Monday so came back Tuesday at 5:50pm. Store was closed an hour before it was supposed to, per Willow Bend website (7pm). No signs or hours posted on the door or window. Good quality work otherwise. Needs to improve communication of business hours. read more

I have been going to Rico for the last 6 years 2 different locations. I recommend him to all of my friends and family. If it's leather he can restore it to look like new. Great place, convenient location upper level inside Willow Bend Mall near Dillards read more

Terrible service. First of all he does not speak English very well and is hard to understand. Told me he was going to stitch a piece of leather together. I went back and the small leather loops I gave him were SUPER GLUED together. Yes, super glue and be charged $11 to glue something together for me. If I wanted something super glue I could have done it myself at home. read more

My heel broke on my favorite pumps. I Googled local shoe repair and Rico's populated in the search. Its located on the 2nd floor of Willowbend Mall; right outside of Dillard's. Rico and his wife are very sweet and took care of me. He stated that the way my heel broke, even if he fixed it, it would break again. He didn't want to take my money knowing that the heel would break. He recommended I just purchase a new pair of pumps. Now, I go to Rico's for all my shoe care needs. read more

I am really happy I found Rico's shoe care center. I stumbled upon his shop when I was shopping at Anthropologie. I had some Christian Louboutin pigalles that I had worn down the soles on and scratched up the higher part of the heel from leaning them against the back of a chair. Rico was very friendly and professional. He even had another customer's Louboutin on site that he had finished so I could see how mine would like like after. The turnaround time was quick. I dropped them off in the afternoon and picked them up the next morning and they looked great. I am so happy to find a place I could trust my shoes with. I plan on bringing him several more pairs to replace the heel taps and re-sole! read more

Excellent service and true old school quality workmanship. Outstanding value. I brought in an old pair of AEs that AE would not resole. In 2 days Rico had them looking like new and charging only 1/2 of what AE would. I'm now a customer for life and telling my friends that Rico will do you right! read more

A little hard to understand, but the guy did a great job with my shoes. For $20 dollars, I can get a few more years out of my shoes.

Service was fast, fair and Rico did an excellent job gluing a specialty shoe which had separated at the "upper". Shoe was ready when promised and the turn around was very short (1 1/2 days) Due to its location it is easy in/out, with tons of parking. read more

Poor customer service. Very unprofessional in the way he handles his customers. Make sure you can understand him before you leave something with him. He'll belittle you for not understanding AND you won't get your money back. If there was a 0 I'd rate this place a 0. read more

I was disappointed when Rico did shine on my two pairs of shoes. I read all the good reviews and thought he was good but not really. He charged me more than he quoted verbally when I brought them in. It was like only two or three dollars more a pair but it seems like he was trying to make more out of me because I was in a hurry. Very expensive, close to $40 for shining two pairs. One of the pairs came out uneven color and he didn't even took the shoe laces off. terrible experience and I won't go back again. read more
