    Red cowboy boots

    I've been a loyal customer of this cobbler for years. Even though I no longer live in San Diego, I still make the drive from the OC because I trust him completely to handle all my boots, shoes, and handbags with expert care. Since I have slim legs, my boots often need adjustments in the calf, and I also struggle with oversized straps on my bum bags. He always customizes them flawlessly to fit me perfectly. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and he's worth every penny!

    This place is awesome. They do such a great job. Any bag or pair of shoes I need to fix will always be done here!

    I am so happy with the results of 4 pairs of shoes and a purse that I recently took to the shoe cobbler. i've been coming here for years and they just do an outstanding job. it's the only place I'll ever go to get all my shoes and purses fixed.

    my uggs were stained almost black from using a bad waterproof spray, now they look good as new! good price too

    Thank you again Humberto for doing amazing work on my shoes! He gave my Louboutins a makeover with red rubber soles so I don't slip.

    My skyscraper red bottoms never looked better, thanks to Humberto! I scored some awesome Christian Louboutins at an amazing price that were in mint condition aside from the requisite paint coming off under the toe box! Gotta love consignment stores! Humberto is my go-to guy for shoe and handbag repair so rather than get them repainted the classic red, he suggested I get red rubber soles instead to help me prevent slipping and to give my shoes better grip. I agreed wholeheartedly as I figured the paint would just come off again the minute I walked in them, lol. It only took three days before I had them in my hot little hands again at a reasonable price. His work is always flawless and turnaround time is quick. Parking here can be a pain, so I usually park by Draft Republic. Come here for all of your cobbler needs. Humberto is the best!

    Humberto is simply the best for orthotic lifts for orthopedic patients. Lifts are comfortable and great from a medical standpoint.

Most of the time, I drop off several pairs of shoes and they call me the next day and I pick up my shoes and I'm delighted with how they look and with the ridiculously low price of $2.50. Because I'm not ridiculously cheap, I've usually tipped just as if the price were much higher. Before I knew that you could drop off shoes, I would come in and sit in the chair and get educated on which shoes to buy, which ones not to buy, and how to take care of them in a very pleasant conversation. Because this isn't a fairy tale, I'll tell you that sometimes, no one would call after several days and when I called, I was told the shoes were ready to pick up. This happened often enough that I once made the mistake of simply going back after three days to pick up my shoes with out calling first. They were not done. Very annoying. The last time I went to pick up my shoes, I was surprised to find that they had taken the ridiculously low $2.50 and doubled it to $5. This is an interesting time to double prices. I dropped my shoes off there because it was so cheap and convenient. Now, I could just use the guy closer to home for $7 and save the time for $2. That said, the shoes looked like brand new when I got them back. That was money well spent. Nordstrom has been shining the same pair of Cole Haans for 5 years and someone asked if they were new a few months ago. If you already buy high quality shoes and use shoe trees, the next step is a regular trip to the shoe shine stand at Nordstrom.

While we both remember the great quality of work and decent prices, I will say they have gone up a lot and some of their work is great and other times it's been okay, but at least we got the fix we needed. In our most recent visit, I was able to get my mom's cowgirl boots stretched and they did a fantastic job! The toe box was pointed and very tight but after stretching they have been super comfortable to wear. I did drop off my husband's Sperry decks to be resoled and they did a good job, I just know it wasn't exactly what my husband nor I were expecting. The shoes are definitely a lot thicker now as they resoled on top of the worn down original sole. We assumed they would have taken off the original sole and put the new soles on, but again it got the job done and my husband can wear his shoes without slipping on every surface. It might be helpful to be more clear with what you want when you drop them off, as we had just assumed it would turn out a specific way because we were asked no questions. Dropping off the shoes was a little concerning too since all they did was hand us a slip of paper with incoherent writing on it and our last name (written by us). We didn't pay until we picked up the shoes. They only accept cash which is important to know before going. They won't call you when they are done with your items, they just give you a date and when you show up they are ready. Clearly their system works for them. I'm just glad I was able to get some more life out of my husband's decks.

I will likely try a business shop vs home shop next time. I called multiple times and arranged for a fitting to alter two jackets. First Don said he was available the next day and to call back. I did and arranged to stop by, kept asking for the address, and finally he gave it to me, but called back later and ask I stop by later that day. When I tried again in the afternoon, he gave me an address and said his sister is helping him and will meet with me. Went to the home and the man introduced himself as Don so I was so confused. He said a business partner is sending him leadals, maybe that is Don? The woman (Loan) was very sweet who did my alterations. Anyway, whoever I ended up being sent to was ok but it wasnt Don and cant find her listing to leave a review there. Leaving this here so others are aware they may be sent elsewhere instead of Don. The alterations for 2 jackets were ok. One jacket was perfect but the other was looser and not quite as tailored. Price was cheaper than standard so I was not too upset, you get what you pay for.
