    New sole to help with the imbalance
    Elizabeth C.

    I just moved from NYC where I relied on the Leather Spa in Midtown, so I was looking for a new spot in LA to get my shoes repaired. Sweet Grandma and Grandpa team did an amazing job fixing Prada heels I got in 2016. The sole had been worn down and the heels were chopped up from NYC subways and many events. With just a two day turn around, they added extra durable soles and my shoes look brand new. I am so grateful, thank you! I will be back with future shoe and handbag needs.

    After the resole + heel cap + shine (I only asked for the bottom to be shined, but think I would be happy with all of it shined)
    Alison L.

    My vintage cowboy boots lost their heel caps and I needed them quickly repaired. The Shoe Doctor is in K-Town not too far from where I live so I thought I'd try them after reading a few positive reviews. I don't speak Korean but I didn't have any issues communicating my needs. They suggested that I get my soles redone in addition to the heel caps and they'd do a free shine. The quote was $60. I did need new soles so I agreed and asked that they only shine around the bottom of the boot as I wasn't sure how it would turn out - after pick up I would say I'd trust them to shine the entire boot. I dropped my boots off on a Friday and they were ready by Tuesday. Shoe Doctor is a Mom and Pop repair shop run by a nice couple on Western near 4th Street. I was able to find metered street parking on drop off and lot parking out front on pickup.

    Here are before and after pics.

    I got my favorite pair of boots resoled and polished here. They did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

    Fixed heel
    Karina K.

    Very nice man, he gave my friend and I good deal, did everything very quickly, I was offered to pick up shoes next day! I had to fix my heel, glue it back and on the other pair of shoes I had to have a new layer on the heel as old one worn out, and I am very happy with my results! I will definitely recommend this place and will come back if I need anything ever again.

    Before repair

    I got two pairs of boots resoled here. They did a great job, and also cleaned and polished the boots. The points for my pair of pointed boots were worn and they repainted and fixed it for me too. Friendly, family run business. Drop off, pay cash, and pick up a few days later. Resoling two pairs of boots (bottom of sole and back heel) cost me $60 each. I'm not sure how much resoling costs nowadays, but with HCOL and increases in raw material costs, this seems reasonable to me and I am happy to support a local business.

    Amazing job for good value. Will be coming here for shoe repairs going forward. They also open extra early which is helpful.

    Took in two pairs of Ferragamo shoes I've had for years and they came out great. One pair of low heels and one pair of wedges. Will be back.

    So glad I found Deluxe Shoe Repair! I took in my son's Jordans because the stitching/glue was…read morecoming apart, and I wasn't sure if they could be saved. Luckily, I came across this place and decided to give it a try and the best decision. Sako was amazing. Super friendly, honest, and took the time to explain what needed to be done. He made the whole process easy and stress-free. Within 24 hours, he texted me that the shoes were ready for pickup, which was impressive. Not only did he double-stitch the areas that were falling apart and make them solid again, but he also cleaned the shoes, which was a really nice touch. They looked great when I picked them up. Fast turnaround, quality work, and great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back here for any future shoe repairs and highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    I wasn't hoping to end this experience with a bad review.. however the owner Sam reached his limits…read morewhen it to came to the point of verbal abuse. 1. I brought a pair of boots to narrow the shaft and was told it was do able and of course right after mentions his quote of " i am a repair shop not a manufacturer" and charges immediately upfront.. I guess knowingly that if the outcome is bad he can speak to you any way he wants as you are obviously not going to get a refund for his messed up job. Even if you try to explain your dissatisfaction he will NOT listen and verbally attack with bad words in front of his daughter and wife and not take grant it for his messy job. Shame on you! Please do yourself a favor and don't get fooled by the 4.8 reviews on Yelp. This man has zero manners. Below are the pics of how crooked my shaft is and had to ask him to clean his messy glue stains off my shoe. So if you want your shoes ruined it's the perfect spot!
