    $490 down the drain

    I took two pairs of boots to this facility. One pair needed a simple alteration, and unfortunately the work was very poorly done. The stitching did not match, the lining was popping out, and the work was not done in a straight line. Overall, it was a horrible job and very disappointing.

    Repaired a leather backpack and some Timbs. This is my go to spot now for shoe and bag repairs now. Pretty happy with the service.

    Great customer service. Had some items repaired here. Really happy with the service and pricing. Now this is my go to spot for shoe and bag repairs

    They did a great job with my shoes. Repaired the heel, polished them nicely and even colored in the tips, which were peeling. They look like new.

Every time I walk into his shop, I'm greeted with seeing how diligent and tired he is to do it all by himself. Unbeatable prices too. In the many years ago, I've lost count of how many pairs of shoes I've brought to him over the years, and I trust him completely with all of them--especially my favorite name-brand heels and boots. He treats every pair with such care, and I honestly hope he stays in business forever because I'm definitely going to keep him busy! I tend to wear my shoes down "like cray-cray," which always makes me think of my absolute favorite fairy tale from childhood: The 12 Dancing Princesses. You know, that story about the twelve royal sisters who would sneak out every night to dance until their shoes were worn completely through? I feel like a modern-day version of them minus the dancing lol but just daily usages, every time I drop off a bag of shoes at Iggy's! It remains one of my favorite stories to revisit--if you haven't read it lately, I highly recommend picking up a copy. It's such a charming classic!

He is respectful and pleasant so there is nothing else to be desired and I will definitely return for future work. -Cash only -Looks like he gets busy so it's ideal to drop off items well in advance of any dates you may need them for.

Mr Kim owner of Kim Su once again here in Gardena northside he did not only for $30 replace the bottom hill rubber texture contact plates but he matched the left leather stacked heel with a right TPR textured exactly the same in grand and the perfect reddish Finish which is absolutely necessary if you know anything about Footwear leather Italian red shoes or if you're going to go to work and you wanna pop some luggage color shoes leather fashion sneakers Luggage colored slip bonds I don't care what type of construction they are the key is in the vintage rubbed out Cordovan reddish touch or accents you find in the real leather uppers. Lastly Mr Kim had these pairs done the next day secondly I know shoes I actually designed shoes for over 15 years and created one of the most popular brands made in the past 15 years it is the number one footwear growth brand in the nation. No already with me on best of the baby for the Covid capsule and those who know our drivers on all platforms do you know what I've had my hands on product designs the global travels culinary arts SAG, AFTRA, and BMI publishing's. LSU right in this world I don't give a shit, the fact of the matter is everything that I've done gives me the user experience to come to a good and fair and objective conclusion in every decision and every choice that I am about to make. With that said Mr Kim gets five stars there are a few other stores a few other footwear repair and finishing locations that are going to take over 75 pairs from me within this year. That goes all the way from all leather no don't buy plastic cheap sneaker freaker shoes that are completely Gin in my pocket. And I don't hustle people give away shoes to Michael's learning Place auntie Jefferson Foster Home's and in Vietnam through southern Asia all the way to Africa and Nancy South America and I just donated one brand look it up Rawtoons donated over 75 custom-made Kuyt print hoodies 20 shirts all in bags all custom designed by Rawtoons the top graffiti artist friends of Crayola, Jay rock and Artists. That being said their shoes I can't wait to Vermont if I can put them on right now before I head over to Manhattan Beach California to get a nice hibiscus iced tea and then get in a workout on the basketball court back in Gardena I hope to see all the beautiful people in Gardena.

They have their own parking lot with free parking. Be careful not to park in their lot if you're not actually visiting the business (or the spa next door), as they have signs all over the place that clearly state that they tow vehicles. Dry cleaning only takes a few days, and hemming took less than a week. I didn't have any firm deadlines, so time wasn't of the essence, but let them know if you do and they can work with you. Keep in mind that hemming and tailoring will require you to change into the clothing on-site so that the tailor can pin the adjustments. There is a restroom in the very back for privacy - a bit tucked away and generally not for public use, but it does the trick. If you're trying to adjust pants or a dress, be sure to bring the shoes that you'll be wearing so that you have a solid idea of how the item will look once adjusted. Prices are a bit on the higher end compared to other small tailor and dry cleaning businesses that I've been to around LA. Tap to pay is your best bet for speed and convenience. The gentleman who owns and operates the shop is personable, efficient and polite. He has a huge fish tank and quite a lot of fun decor.

I had a pair…read moreof shoes from the '80's where one heel completely came off as I was walking and the other pair was just about to do the same. I noticed this shop took over the old One Hour Photo that had been here for decades, but closed. It's in the CVS shopping center, right next to Noah's Bagels. I took my shoes in, the proprietor and shoe repairman came out from the back. He gave me a quote of $30 to re-glue both heels. I took them in on a Saturday. He asked me if Friday was okay? I said yes and paid in advance. He gave me a copy of my receipt and stapled it to the ticket. Not too talkative, but he's a busy guy. He has quite the workshop back there, behind the counter. From the front, you can see his work bench and machinery. When I came back, there was a line. I also noticed there was a significant volume of shoes that were repaired and ready for pickup. I gave him my ticket, which he used to pull the plastic bin my shoes were in. Yay, new glue. I'm happy. I noticed he repairs purses, so that may be next on my list. He also sells merchandise.

For those of you who are from this area, and/or may remember, this business is located in the same location that used to be the one hour photo forever. The one hour photo is long gone, but this business has taken over the space. Once inside, you'll find a whole lot of shoelaces. I find this really helpful, if you really want to get some colorful shoelaces, or a very specific type of shoelace, this business probably has it hanging on the wall. Great stuff! Mainly, most people come in here to get their shoes repaired. FYI, this business also does luggage and purse repair, extra key creation, and a few other things, as well. We went to this business to have a pair of shoes repaired. Basically, the processes is, the owner takes a look at what needs to be done, tells you a price, you pay it upfront, and then you come to pick up your shoes when they are done. For us, it was one week later. This all seems very fair and very reasonable. So, if you need some shoes repaired, or some luggage repaired, or even want a great set of shoelaces, this is your business to go to.
