Highly recommend this shop for cleaning bags and shoes! I called to multiple places and everyone refused to clean the suede on my bag that got dyed indigo from my jeans. He gave me a quote and had it ready next day. He got it ALL out surprisingly without compromising the suede. It's a little stiffer now but I know it'll soften when it settles. read more

Excellent work. Got 4 pairs of shoes repaired and wife is very happy. Heels were in awful condition, to the point of showjng metal in one case. He cut the heels and installed new material and it is an exact match in every case, even the red pair. Well done. read more

Shoes on the Run for the win! With another atmospheric river sliding through Portland, I thought I was in dire straits when the entire toe of my beloved (and only) pair of boots decided to make a break for it by separating from its stitching. My past experience with a cobbler had me assuming it would be weeks before I could get the boots repaired, so imagine my surprise when the owner of this shop said he could repair them same day! Thus enters our hero, Shoes on the Run, stage left. He also pointed out the soles were wearing dangerously thin, and quoted $75 for heel and sole replacement and to fix the aforementioned stitching... for the pair. He turned the boots around in 2-3 hours and totally saved the day. Thanks SotR, you've earned a new fan! read more

Stopped in Portland for work and my workboots were getting torn up ....they needed attention, but I needed them back same day. The owner said "no problem" and at the end of the day all looked great! Wonderful work! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! The first time I went I brought in a couple pairs of red bottoms that I thought were long gone and they brought them back to almost new condition. And for such a good price. Today I picked up a purse that was showing some wear and for only $35 it looks BRAND NEW again. Such an amazing hidden gem. read more

Shoes On the Run - Shoe Repair Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My fabulous suede jacket was missing a snap. You may be asking, "what does this have to do with a shoe repair review?" We'll, I'll tell you. I brought a packet of snaps in as he did not have a snap to fit my fabulous jacket and I waited about two minutes while he popped the snap back on the jacket. TA-DA! Good as new. I have also been bringing my snazzy heels and Frye boots to him for years. He is capable of bringing rundown shoes back to life. What's more, he does it quickly and for very reasonable prices. Be prepared to pay for this magic with either cash or one of those archaic check things people used to use in the 1980's. No credit cards accepted. read more

Been going here for years. Always does a good job an quick service. You have to ring bell at outside door to get buzzed in.

Great service, very fast, good prices. I actually live out of town part time but I bring my shoes here.

Came in on a Monday at 11am with 3 pairs of Christian Loubotin. Done by 1pm the same day. Showed me two red options for the sole. The smooth ones or the one you have more grip on. Chose the second one. Very pleased with Anatoliy the owner. He did a fantastic job! Happy lady over here! Per pairs Sole $40 Heels $15 Stretch $15 - Can literary walk in them now without trying to stretch them myself! Cash only. read more

This is a quality shop and they typically have shoes ready in 1-2 business days. Once I just needed heels and they repaired my shoes right then and there as I waited. The work they do is also the best I've seen from any cobbler downtown. Make sure you bring cash or check as they do not accept plastic. They will kindly remind you when you drop off your shoes so that helps. read more

Shoes On the Run - New heel and 1/2 sole - Shoe Repair Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Very fast, reliable, shoe repair. If you love a pair of shoes, it may make more sense just to put new tread on them rather than buy another pair. Quick turnaround. We tried other repair places and this is the best. Some repairs are simple and can be done while you wait. So it's quite convenient. Not just shoes, repair leather, like a purse. This repairman is creative. read more

I wanted to add rubber soles on my leather shoes, it took them 1 hour to do that, and they did a great job with fair price. In general I would expect longer time to complete such service in America. I was satisfied that he was fast, professional, and no other bullshit. Some reviews said the owner was not nice. I disagree. Or maybe he was not nice in an American way - the fluffy fake niceness. I think most service people here in this country are really "NICE" to talk to, but meanwhile they deliver a mediocre work. And people call that great customer service. read more

Fast and excellent workmanship. I have taken in a few sentimental pairs; my mom's Multnomah Clogs from the 70s, and 25yo Fleuvogs. He never disappoints, I highly recommended him. read more

Shoes On the Run - Mom's 1973 clogs. - Shoe Repair Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have been a customer of Anatoliy 's for 16+yrs. He has repaired/refurbished/replaced missing parts, handbags, shoes, & belts. He was on our list of "go-to" business partners when I was employee of Brooks Brothers & Saks 5th Avenue. Anatoliy does impeccable work in a reasonable timeframe at a fair price and has gone beyond expectations with a particularly difficult item. I highly recommend Shoes On the Run! read more

The best shoe repair in town. They have resoled and repaired out shoes for years, even do custom stretching! Cash only, so plan ahead. read more

I've been here several times to get rubber soles added to my leather shoes and boots. With the shop's fast service, okay'ish prices, and convenient location, it was looking like I would keep coming back for years to come. Today, though, a new boot came back with a deep gash on its side. I only noticed when I took it out of its bag hours after I came home from their shop, which is part of the problem, as I would have accepted an apology and would have written the incident off as bad luck (despite the cost and rarity of the shoe itself). Instead, it seems like they hoped I wouldn't notice or wouldn't notice until it was too late to trace the cut back to them. As it is, I can't continue to support a business with low integrity and will be looking for a new shoe repair shop. read more

Fast efficient friendly service. Not necessarily the cheapest place but the quality of work justifies the very slight premium. Thumbs up.

Anatoliy worked his magic on a pair of my favorite leather boots. They were beaten to death from a few years in college and salt damaged from 3 Minneapolis winters. The shop is downstairs, look for the large Anatoliy window sticker on the ground level. He added a rubber sole and heel which improved traction and now they are in much better condition sans the white salt lines. A bit of polishing and surfacing helped hide the cracks. Well worth the $60 to refresh them. Bringing my other shoes back. No credit cards! read more

I had been needing to get my boots re-soled and re-heeled for years (The shoe goo can only do so much)! I stopped by on Veteran's Day to get an estimate and dropped it off with a time to pick up THE NEXT DAY. When I came to pick it up, I arrived a couple of hours before I had told him I was coming. Thankfully, my shoes were finished and all I had to do was pay. Service here is fast and the quality of work is AMAZING! I trust them a lot! They shined my boot and made it look brand new. I had gotten a heel build up, new heels and soles = $45! Tip well because they do marvelous work (I did)! Cash or Check only!! read more

I came in to get two pairs of fluevogs polished and weather-proofed. Cost: $5 for shoes; $7 for boots Time: less than 10 minutes in an out. Fantastic! read more

Unfortunately one of my dogs has developed good taste in shoes... in more ways than one! She destroyed part of a zipper on an expensive pair of boots, it looked un-fixable. The shoe repairman (cobbler?) here was great. I brought it to him around lunchtime on Wednesday and he told me it would be ready on Friday. You can definitely see that work has been done (i.e. entire zipper replaced - pretty hard/intricate work on leather boots!) when you closely compare the two shoes next to each other, but no one would be able to tell when just wearing them. He only takes cash or checks. He asked me for a 50% deposit on the job, and quoted me what I thought was a fair price - I would have been willing to pay double! Very happy I did not have to go searching for new boots - especially when these boots were a gift and I would not have paid that much myself to replace them. THANK YOU!!! read more

The tips of my heels wear down quickly from all the walking I do. I can always stop in and they will repair in 5 minutes for $15. Looove it!

Fantastic job! Saved my Doc Marten zip-up boots by replacing the man made zipper backing with actual leather. Also resoled my favorite knee high boots that had sprung a leak. Now the soles will outlast the boots! And it was all done for far less than another place quoted me. Finally found a great shoe repair place! read more

Incredible. Walked in, waited a few minutes, and the guy said he could fix my handbag while I waited. It took just a moment (needed a rivet), and charged only $5. Who knew it was possible to get such fast service? read more

Anatoli is great!! I found him and his shop thanks to Yelp, and while it took a couple of passes to find him in a car, it was definitely worth it. I'd found a real steal of a pair of much-loved but worn out shoes for $5 at Value Village. They had no laces and were in definite need of being looked at. I was willing to spend up to $35 or so for them to be cleaned up. I showed him my shoes, and he looked at the somewhat frayed part above the ankle and said there wasn't really anything wrong with or to be done with it, but they could be well polished and appropriate laces to be bought for $10. And they'd be done in 30 minutes. :) I ended up coming back a few hours later due to other errands, but the whole experience was amazing. Any shoe repair I'll get done here. He's knowledgeable, fast, and beyond reasonably priced. So many stars for him!! No credit cards. Just remember that and get cash prior to picking up your re-loved shoes. read more

My wife's wheelchair pouch needed the strap fixed. I didn't expect him to open the seam and do a first class repair, but that's how he rolls. He said he learned the business in a Russian shoe factory. He's been plying his trade at this location for 12 years. I like craftsmanship, I like fast friendly service, I like this guy. I suspect you will too. read more

Excellent service! Shoes On the Run is located downstairs in this office / retail space and is easily accessible from the MAX line. The proprietor is very friendly and has always been very helpful. My first experience here was when a pair of boots I had for years ended up with the soles tearing apart. I was afraid I would have to spend $130 to replace them (they are from a specialty company in England) but I decided to give this place a try on a recommendation from a friend. I was so glad I did! The owner (at least I think that's who he is) showed me different options for the sole replacements and I decided on the heavy-duty work soles. It cost around $70 (including tip), only took a few days, and greatly extended the life of my boots. My girlfriend also had her work shoes repaired here as she had a similar problem with the soles being ruined; they were fixed equally professionally and just as quickly. They also sell laces, polish, and other shoe accessories. Highly recommended! read more

This is the best shoe repair place in I have ever experienced. I had a pair of boots that I wore down to the heel taps, the heels were torn to shreds. I took them in on a wed and got them back by Friday. It is also so affordable for what kind of work he did. I was so happy because it felt like I got a brand new pair of boots. I will be telling everyone how amazing this place is. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU read more

The thread in my leather shoes came undone. This upset me. So I looked up local shoe repair and Yelp directed me to this place which happened to be really close by. I walked in five minutes before they closed to the sounds of Russian television and took off my shoe. I showed the guy my problem and asked how long it would take. He said five minutes and it would cost five dollars. 30 seconds. That's how long I waited until my shoe was fixed. It did indeed cost five dollars but that's a great deal and super, super, super, fast. Also, this place is CASH/CHECK ONLY. No worries for a five dollar thirty-second shoe repair but a good thing to know anyway. read more

Took a pair of dirty tan suede mules here for cleaning and they look brand new. So excited and happy with the results. Pumps also re-heeled and prices are fair and work was quality. Very happy. Thanks! read more
