    Photos before the patch and after. Also, the patch coming off ruined the boots more.

    DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! I came to this place because it's close to my house. I called before going and the owner said he works on leather and work boots as well. I brought work boots and I asked him specifically if he can fix the holes in the front and he stated he can. The first picture is an example of the leather he would use. I asked if it would be black because that's the example he showed me. He then said no don't worry I can put a brown leather to be similar to the shoe. The next photo is of the finished shoes. The leather just seemed like it was from a piece of scrap he found in the trash, it has written letters on it. He didn't even cut the leather patch to match the hole. He just cut two rectangle boxes and glued it to the shoe. it was not sanded down to match the shoe, and I told him I was not expecting this quality of work. He was so rude to me and threw the shoes back at me and told me to never come here again, he said I was wasting his time. He then was saying how much work it took to fix the shoes and this is the best it's going to get. I told him if he can please just take the patch off because I was not expecting it to look like this. As I was leaving he told me to never come back again.

    This guy should not be in business of repairing suitcases. He was recommended but I'm guessing that the people never used his services ever otherwise I honestly don't think they would have recommended such bad workmanship. My suit case handles broke off (both top and side) and needed them replaced. He said he could do it and do a good job (if this is good, I'd hate to see bad and cheap from him) so I decided to use him. Charged me $80 UPFRONT, wouldn't allow me to pay when I picked up. If I had known how he was planning on repairing the suitcase I would have told him to F off big time - he used a leather strap held on by screws on the side that left no real room to slip my fingers into and the top strap really isn't much better (as you can see from the photos). I'd stay as far away as possible from this shop and the guy that runs it. Not the friendliest person on the planet. Trust me shitty job for allot of $$$$. Overpriced is an understatement.

    So I have been living in Montebello for a very long time off and on and this is my first visit to this shoe repair shop. Both my parents and I have used other vendors in the city and in surrounding cities and this is the first time the prices have made me walk away. So here is the situation with my wife's shoes she has some high heel platform shoes that lost the platform part of both shoes. So all we need is for him to re-glue and maybe re-staple the shoes and those are his words not mine. The little shop keeper then quoted us $18 for that repair and I was like hell no cause my wife only paid $30 for two pairs in downtown. I was like thanks but no thanks and just walked out. I'm not sure if I am over reacting but for me that was to steep so I guess I have to take my old lady shopping again thanks a lot shoe guy.

    Sam is amazing! I took in favorite pair of old boots for a little shine and polish. I also brought along a belt that was a close match in color. Sam convinced me to replace the entire bottom of the shoe because they were high quality. I'm glad I listened. $75 later I feel like I have a brand new pair of boots and a brand new belt.
