    This is my first time ever bringing in shoes for repair. Yelp came in clutch once again! Parking is scarce in front, but you can find more behind the building and on the side. I brought in two pairs of wedges that I absolutely love because they're super comfy and give me some height (I'm not that much of a shortie), lol. As you can see, the sole on one came halfway up, and the other lost its keeper for the 2nd time. I really didn't want to toss these, so I was hoping I could find a place to fix them. Thank you, Tim's Shoe Repair!! Fast, friendly service, and the price wasn't astronomical. I was told they would be ready Friday after 3 pm (I took them in on Tuesday), but when I called in, only one pair was ready. They're closed on Sundays and Mondays, so I had to wait until Tuesday to pick them up. Overall, I am satisfied with their service and would recommend them. I haven't worn either pair since they've been repaired, but I'm hoping they'll hold up when I do. I'll update my review if they don't. These shoes have tons of life left in them! Thank you guys at Tim's, and I hope I won't have to visit again anytime soon, lol!

    I spilt GOOGONE on my Allan Edmond suade sneakers and they took care of a monster stain that seemed un recoverable I trashed my golden goose sneakers and they replaced the heal with a white wedge These guys have saved me $900 in sneakers today. Thank you Tim and friends

    I took in my Purses April 7. She didn't get to them and they weren't ready till May 9,2025. I didn't bug the lady I let her do her thing. I finally called her on March 8 asked if they were ready and she said yes I went in. Only two of the bags were according to her "ready" and done when I pick them up, the handles were sticky. They still have scuffs on them. They still had loose threads and she didn't clean in between the hardware, the inside of the purses were still dirty and when I asked her why the third bag never got sent out, she says that the leather restoration company in LA never came to pick it up and then she was so upset that they didn't call her and tell her that they weren't coming However, she never called me to tell me that there would be a delay so as a customer if she knows that my purse is gonna be sent out she should've called and advised me that there would've been a delay because a vendor didn't pick it up to take it out and clean it. She was expecting me to leave the Purse for over 2 1/2 months when it should've only taken a month. When I inspected the Purse, other two Purses I pointed it out to her that there was areas that were still scuffed that was not painted they were still sticking and she totally had a hissy fitz she raised her voice just take your bags and you don't gotta pay me. granted I had already paid her $35 as a down payment and I was gonna pay the remainder of the balance when I picked them up I didn't say much because she is an older elderly lady, but the service is just horrible. The fact that I couldn't have a conversation with her and point out to her where she failed to properly clean, restore the bags is horrible Customer Service and she apparently does not like criticism. I didn't have a problem paying whatever she charged me for the cleaning and restoration , but she has a problem understanding that her job is below satisfactory and unacceptable for the price that she set to clean them. And I only am posting pictures of one Purse because at this point why put in the other two purses to showcase what she failed to do. Since she didn't refund me technically I did pay $35 for my bags to sit in her dirty store on vacation for a month.

    Flush and clean

    I drove all the way from San Diego to have Triumph 150 toe tap plates installed in a new pair of Hermes Loafers. My shoes were treated carefully and done in 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

    A cobbler is a rarity now a days. A good one, even more rare. But artesian level? That's Tim's. Tucked away in a non descript strip mall, Tim's is a local find that's already in hero status to me. While the big online places take a week to respond; Tim's had three pairs of shoes resoled in just under two weeks. And the quality? My redwings - look better than they did new. The Allen Edmunds? Custom, and with new life. All of this with fast, easy, and friendly service. And - honestly, for the price, I'll have three pairs of shoes that will last me much longer than how I bought them new.

    Resoled shoes with dye job.

    I originally found this place based on the YouTuber "The Elegant Oxford", and decided to make the drive. This is my third repair with John and Linden, and they have always provided superb customer service. I'm constantly following up, and I really like the fact that they never turn me away or give me attitude despite my multiple calls a week. They preferred to delay my shoes to ensure that I got the best quality, and always called to make sure that I was informed about the repair every step of the way. As you can tell, these shoes were probably the worst ones I took to them and they made them look new. Beyond their skill, they have a true passion for the craft. When I asked them about the process, they did not hesitate to show me the machines and give me an idea of the progress of my shoes. When they speak about shoe repair, they speak of it as more of an art than a paycheck, and that alone gives me confidence that my shoes are in good hands. They have earned a lifelong customer from me.

    The nicest guys! Great work and value.
