This place is amazing! I had a bag waterproofed and got caught in the rain a week later and it still looks perfect. A charming family owned spot. And the price was decent, too. I will definitely be back. read more

My favorite pair of boots was starting to show obvious signs of wear and tear and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the manufacturer makes these anymore. I was hoping to get a little more use out of them before having to scrap them and brought them to The Cobbler to see what they could do. They offered me a couple of options - one was just to repaint and touch up so it looked a bit cleaner, the other was to also resole to also get more life out of the shoe. I was able to go with the option that best suited my needs and my shoes were ready to go at the scheduled pickup time a week later. They will also give you a text when the items are ready. Customer service was great and the quality of work is high. Definitely recommend. read more

This business altered my wife's wedding dress, and the result was exceptional--truly one of the finest I have seen. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect a high standard of excellence. They also provide convenient service, traveling from San Mateo to San Bruno to meet client needs. I highly recommend them for dressmaking, garment restoration, and accessories; they are dedicated to restoring items to their original quality. The Value is fair!! read more

Mom and pop shop. They were able to fix both heels of my boots, my Tory Burch sandals that my dog decided to make a chew toy out of and put an extra hole in 2 of my belts for less than $100.

Had two expensive shoes re/soled and a heel replaced. Top quality work. Will use again.

I am so happy that I found Jay and his wife. We used to go to our local cobbler in San Jose but the quality was just not good. I found Jay on an online Luxury forum. He came highly recommended. I first came to Jay to repair and replace a button snap on our LV Damier Azure Wallet and Zipper on an LV Sarah Wallet. They were done fairly fast. The next work done was a project LV Sac Souple that had damaged handles. I wanted to use the duffle for my DJ cables, headphones and accessories. Overkill but I wanted to go to gigs in style! I asked him to add some d-rings so I could add a strap. The project turned out perfect. The straps look perfect and he was able to condition and tone the vachetta to match. The d-rings were exactly what I wanted. I now have a vintage duffle that's original and useful. I highly recommend Jay and his wife for all your leather work and projects. read more

This mom and pop shop fixed the soles of my boots and gave it new life! The turn around was reasonable about 1 week. Would definitely come back. read more

We are lucky enough to live close by to The Cobbler - they are friendly, efficient, and very reasonably priced. They altered the suit my husband wore for our wedding and helped detail our shoes we each wore on our wedding day. I wanted to add holes for bows on my shoes, and my husband's boots were water-damaged with broken laces. In less than a week The Cobbler returned them to us as requested and good as new. Can't thank them enough! read more

The Cobbler - Shoes detailed by The Cobbler - Shoe Repair Near Me - San Bruno, California

I sent a message through their website asking about my high heels that are peeling from the inside, I got a response back saying the the job would be to expensive and it wouldn't be worth it as it work cost more than the shoe, ok that ms fine I said I then asked what suggestions they had as how I can remediate my issue on the shoes. I didn't even get a response back. I guess because my shoes aren't designer, it's not worth their time. You would think that business is business and providing good customer service to everyone regardless of whether they have designer clothes or shoes, you would still be able to get good service. read more

The cobbler was such a life saver! I needed a last minute re-sewing on the ankle strap of my favorite heels that my puppy had chewed up. I needed the heels for a wedding and had gone to another shoe repair shop only for them to say they couldn't get it done for at least 2 weeks. When I called the cobbler, they were able to take in the shoe right away and had it ready sooner than I had asked. The pricing was super affordable and I'll definitely be going back if my puppy gets into any of my other shoes. read more

Seems like im always in need of a good cobbler these days, and THE Cobbler is my new favorite gem. Needed my Ferragamo belt sized && honey they had me in & out within 15 minutes. When I walked in a young lady was picking up her YSL bag && it looked like many others trusted them with their high fashion bags. I will be back most definitely! read more

Needed a couple of designer shoes repaired. One pair needed the heels fixed, the souls replaced, and overall cleaning. The other needed a band reattached. I went ahead and got the sounds replaced as well. Though a little pricey (which I expected after reading reviews), the end result is fantastic. They're like new again! I worked my favs to work and got so many compliments! Happy with the experience and will definitely be taking any future shoes ti The Cobbler for repair! read more

I brought a leather belt and asked Jay to punch two extra holes for a tighter fit, but Jay cleverly suggested that he shorten the belt from the buckle side of the belt so that the existing holes remain but the belt sizing is adjusted to be shorter. In less than 15 minutes did a beautiful job on the spot and you would never know the belt was modified. Very reasonable price for his service. Highly recommend! read more

For the record, I am an avid Fluevog user. I have A LOT of Fluevogs (you don't need to know exact numbers) that I've been collecting since 2010. The pandemic took a toll on my Fluevog habits and until recently, they've been wasting away in my closet. I've been slowly getting back into the Flue-groove when I realized a number of pairs needed some TLC. Nothing major. The glue on some of the heels just got old and my heels were falling off. I've heard lots of good things about The Cobbler and since they're local, I thought I'd give it a shot. I just picked up three pairs and the workmanship is impeccable! They replaced the outer soles and heels on two pairs of boots and did a heel replacement (I provided the heels) on a third pair. The couple is super nice and I love the attention to detail. For the heel replacement, they nailed and glued the new pieces to keep it secure. I typically buy my Fluevogs at the Haight and I've been to the cobbler they recommend. Sadly, after two trips to their SF-based cobbler, The Huz and I found ourselves looking for better options. (The heel work we had done ended up falling off and we had to glue it back ourselves.) I'm so happy to share that we now have a reliable cobbler that's close to our home in San Mateo. Yay ! I hope the folx at this family-run business are ready because I'm about to be a new regular. read more

Lovely couple, wonderful service on my vintage LV bag, reasonable pricing and quick turnaround. Highly recommend!! Impeccable work and came out beautifully. read more

The Cobbler - speedy 30 with added d rings - Shoe Repair Near Me - San Bruno, California

So pleased with the incredible work from the two owners! I brought two purses and a pair of shoes that were so badly beaten up over the last 10+ years for almost each of them. I was a little worried about one item that seemed like it was past the point of repair but am blown away by the face lift my bag received! Thank you so much! Worth every penny for these items to have a second life! read more

I have had a green embossed leather satchel that gets fuller each time I travel and I asked my regular cobbler if he could sew a couple of D-rings for me to attach a shoulder strap. He and other cobblers I visited said no. I went on yelp and searched under luggage repair and found The Cobbler. Not only could Jay the owner do it, but his wife Dana found a couple of D-rings that were antiqued to match the antiqued hardware on the satchel. I told Jay I needed it in 5 days and he did it in one day, at a very reasonable price. To anchor the D-rings he found some dark green leather that went really well with the green of the satchel. Amazing! Btw, Dana is a seamstress and I observed her fine workmanship in the shop. read more

Jay is a great guy. He does great work. This is a local business that we should support. He is a full service cobbler.

Dana is very detailed and really good at what she does. I highly recommend The Cobbler.

Jay is a real craftsman. He did a wonderful job doing a full JR leather resole with combo heels and Triumph toe plates. My worn out Allen Edmond Plymouths are BETTER than a new pair fresh out of the box. I am super-picky about the details, so I appreciate the quality of the stitching, sanding, and even how he carefully cut out the toe leather to perfectly fit the toe plates flush for an OEM look. It takes time, skill and patience to do these jobs well, so I'm very glad to find a local cobbler I can trust w/o having to go through the time and expense of mailing my shoes away for recrafting. You can't do better on the Peninsula. @Jay: I hope you don't mind that I grabbed your photo off Facebook for this review! I forgot to take a picture myself before I put them on. I'll be back with Fifth Avenues for the full treatment next week when I pick up my Strands. read more

Jay and Dana are super nice. Easy to talk to and do business with. I came in to have 2 vintage bags fixed - one to have the strap shortened and the other to have the zippers changed and handle redone - and also had a pair of Ferragamo shoes resoled. Decently priced and I was quoted 2 weeks, but I needed the bags a week sooner and they were able to meet my request. Highly recommend. read more

I used to come here over 10 yrs ago to have new soles put on my Danner work boots. Been here a few times for the same thing. Owner was pretty old and finally sold the place. Brought a shoe to the new owners to fix. The sole was coming apart. Probably cheaper to just buy a new pair but this pair is practically new with not much wear at all. Jay quoted me $15 to re-glue it. Totally reasonable!! Picked it up in a week and it looks good. Haven't worn it yet so hopefully it holds up. So I go to put it back into the closet and of course, I noticed the other shoe is also starting to come apart. WTF?!?!? Went back to Jay and was help by a female this time. She was really nice and remember the other shoe being repaired. Picked it up in a week and it's as good as new. Still haven't worn it yet. read more

Fast, affordable and friendly service. Brought in my Gucci bag to get the strap adjusted and they did it in 10 minutes. Paid $10.

I was in search of a tailor to replace some metal buttons on my son's leather jacket and after reaching out to several local tailors & their sharing that they didn't have the right tools for the repair needed, I thought of stopping in to "The Cobbler" to see if they could help. It was my lucky day as not only did I meet the nicest people, Jay in particular, but was welcomed and reassured that the jacket could be repaired with minimal expense and in less than 24 hour turn around. I will be highly recommending The Cobbler to "all" of my family and friends. What a joy it is to meet business owners like Jay and his family in our local community. By the way, the jacket came out beautifully and better than I ever expected. Thanks a million Jay and to your team! A new & loyal customer, Cristina read more

They did a stand up job replacing the zipper on my couch cushion. It was done in a timely manner. Will definitely use them again.

Came in to ask about repairing a pair of old chukkas that has seen more than a decade of wear and sadly starting to fall apart. Was I was toying with idea of doing a rather expensive resole but was convinced by Jay, the owner, to opt for a less costly, yet effective, repair and to perhaps consider the more involved alternative in the future. And with that small gesture I think he may have just gained a lifelong customer. I will have to update this once the shoes come back from repair, but so far so good! read more

I am a frequent user of shoe repair services and have been on the hunt for a reasonably priced and quality cobbler. After calling numerous shops to repair an expensive (and new!) combat boot, I landed on The Cobbler because of their fair prices, quick turn around time, and the many positive reviews they already had. Their estimates came in anywhere from $30-$50 less than other highly rated cobblers I diligenced in the surrounding area. The owners diagnosed by boot as a zipper misalignment, and charged me $15 for the service. They were able to realign the zipper within 5 business days. Very sadly, the zipper busted again on my first attempt at wearing. Needless to say, I was frustrated. However, I have rated The Cobbler as a 4/5 because they replaced they replaced the zipper tab at a discount (would have originally cost $25, but knocked the $15 zipper alignment off the total) and returned the boot to me the next day. Obviously I would have much preferred it was gotten right on the first attempt, but I appreciate their quick and respectably priced corrective gesture. $25 to repair a $400 boot - can't really beat that. Assuming my replaced zipper lasts through my next few wears, I will definitely go back in the very near future. read more
