The Service requested was the replacement of the tab of a heel on a boot. In order for both boots to be even, be aware - Both heel tabs had to be replaced? even if only one was missing a tab. Technically the tab was not missing. It had gotten loose but he couldn't put it back. He had to add a new one to each boot. I felt it was pricey but he did clean the heel and possibly paint it. Not sure but heels look nice. read more

I needed my cowboy boots resoled and upon finding the spot - it's outside the village on the Main Street - and was told they'd be ready in a week. All in all the resole cost 140$ which I thought was fair. A week later, Lo and behold they were resoled, clean, and moisturized. When I have another pair of shoes I love and am in need of a fine quality repair I will for sure be coming back here. Thanks!! read more

GREAT service! I took a pair of shoes in to be resoled and was super impressed by his workmanship. I tend to be on the picky side and was very happy with the detail to perfection. I live 3 hours away and dropped the shoes off before a USC football game, came back the next week to pick up my shoes and they were ready. Highly recommended. read more

The heel cap of my dance stilettos fell off today, and I needed them fixed by tomorrow for a performance. I called to request replacement of a heel cap, and whether I could get it before the next day, which he said was possible. The price was reasonable ($15) to replace the heel cap, and he got the job done in 30 minutes! I'm happy with the service and speed, and would definitely return if I have any other shoe-related issues. read more

I had dropped some Vaseline on my new Birkenstock clogs. I decided to try to clean it with saddle soap I had got from Amazon, but due to a lack of instruction and expertise I ended up making it 10x worse (saddle soap disaster are not in the photos). I brought it to Sean and he even said there was a good chance the stain would never come out. I just picked up today and both clogs were SPOTLESS. I was so shocked because I had believe these clogs were ruined beyond repair. I recommend bringing your stuff to Sean before you ruin it from DIY cleaning. $35 dollars wells spent!! read more

I brought a pair of Gucci strappy heels to be restored. I bought them in 2002, and they're probably my favorite pair of shoes, but the black leather straps and insoles had become faded over time. The Village Cobbler made them look great! Highly recommend! read more

I came here to get the heel cap of one of my high heels replaced. He was able to do it same day and it was only $15 - I called around at some other places and this was the best price. He finished in about one hour, I'd definitely come back to this repair shop again! Quick and professional service. read more

I wish I took a before picture. I have a pair of beloved Frye boots I got second hand. It's so hard to find a cobbler who does quality work. I wore the boots in New York and they were very worn down and I felt they were unsalvageable. Sean gave them a brand new life and the workmanship shows. I will now only take my boots and anything else to Sean. read more

Fast yet quality service. Dropped my shoes off on a Monday and picked them up Friday morning. He fixed the sole like new.

I paid $80 for a sole protector on my boots. A little more than what my friends told me they pay, but it's still cheaper than other quotes I got. Quality of service was excellent. read more

Sean is beyond the coolest! I took my Burberry Shoes to fix stitches only and the price is amazingly reasonable! In addition to that, my shows was not the cleanest but Sean cleaned my shoes at no feewhich impressed me. (THAT'S RIGHT - FREE!) He made my shoes look super duper new and it feels amazing to see my Burberry Shoes again after fixing the stiches and cleaning. Thank you Sean! read more

Sean was very nice... Very helpful... And did a great job restoring my 3 pairs of Shoes... Allen Edmonds who needed much repair! Thank you Sean ! I look forward to bringing more business!!!! read more

Excellent work on resoling my Thursday boots. The new soles are high quality and the boots feel great. If you are deciding between getting your boots resoled or just buying a new pair like I was, I highly recommend getting new soles here. Not only will you keep the leather that has already formed to your feet but you will also end up with new soles that are better than what Thursday boots come with. read more

He didn't do nothing but re-do the straps on my mules with rubber. Cobbler? Yeah right. that little shoebox he's working in....His attitude was unpleasant.....I'm certain if I was a male or different ethnic female, his ;$@-Would've been friendly. RIPP OFF read more

As you can see in Sean's reply, he blames the customer and even tries to gaslight me by making you believe I'm a fool reviewing another cobbler! Yes, this review is for the one and only cobbler at USC Village run by Sean. He did not even offer an apology for his rude behavior, which was to scoff and blame me. "Who even shows up at the opening time?" Nor for making me wait outside 20 and 30 minutes, subsequently making me significantly late for class and forcing me to lug around heavy boots all day long, for two days since it happened twice read more

This man does a high quality job but he will nickel and dime the heck out of you. $80-$100+ for something you can go to K-town for or DTLA and it will be $20 for the same quality. This man has been overcharging for years and is sadly very greedy about it. Go to Korea town where you can get 5 shoes repaired for the price of one that this man does. Honestly dude, you do good work but you're not the only game in town. Others do just as good for a fraction. You're monopolizing the USC community. Please Stop overcharging an arm and a leg. it's very obvious but it's clearly a cultural characteristic..... read more

Amazing job restoring my favorite pair of black leather boots! I bought these boots like 5 years ago and they are my go to pair during winter -- LA winter that is. I've worn them in the rain a lot, which is not ideal, because I've had to replace and or re-glue the sole a couple of times. I brought them in to VC and the owner was amazing! He re-soled and stitched the leather to the soles to avoid this from happening. I paid $75 for the labor and I think it's fair given the craftsmanship, and extra detail to my needs with the boots. They look like new! Thank you so much VC! If you have any leather shoes that need TLC, do yourself a favor and take them to the VC! read more

They lost my shoes and tried to gaslight me into thinking I never even brought them... after charging $20

I had two heels that needed their tips replaced. I always wear my jimmy choo collar sandals since they're super comfortable!! Due to that I wore the heels out so much and the tip was stuck in. I brought the shoes in and I'm so happy with the results. Also Sean mentioned that he can order tips for louboutins that match the thin heel. He put new tips on my louboutins and they feel the same and comfortable. I needed the shoes quickly since I was going out of town and I was able to pick them up the next day. Super happy with the results. Will definitely bring in more shoes that need work:) read more

After living in NYC, I learned the value of a skilled cobbler. It's just too bad it's taken me over 14 years back in la to find a real one again. But alas Sean, a skilled and true craftsman has made me one happy gal. This is an artisan, I have taken three pairs of shoes, one purse and one vintage belt in the span of two weeks. Yeah he's the one! read more

First time working with a shoe tailor and I'm grateful I worked with the village cobbler. My Birkenstocks were a size too big and Sean resized the shoe beautifully. He's thorough and has a keen eye for the details. He asked me to come in 2 times for a fitting, which I appreciate. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend. read more

Showed up during their stated business hours on a Monday, no one there, doors locked, no one answering the phone. Not ideal.

The repair was so well done I could barely see the stitching on the boot. Great job and reasonably priced! Thank you read more

I took a bag to get fixed and was told that it would be fixed by the following Tuesday. I called on Tuesday and was told he hadn't started on it and to call back two days to check progress. I called again and again it wasn't ready. I forgot how many times i called to get him to finish it. Just the worst customer service! The whole time I was being patient and understanding since he had my expensive bag but at the end, he ended up being so rude to me because I was 10 minutes late to pick up my bag. This was very ironic as I had wasted so much time to follow up to get him to finish the work he was paid to do. I will never use him again nor do I recommend him. read more

Smooth experience. Nice location right outside the village at USC. Near Trader Joe's. There isn't parking, a few street side meters so be prepared to look for parking or ride with someone who can turn on the hazards while you walk in. The worker was eating lunch but stop and took my order. I had to repair the zippers on the backpack. It was $40 to repair two zippers, but I could have it back next day if I needed it. The shop is quaint and the worker does leave for break. So call and make sure someone is there before so you won't worry about parking and miss him. I like to support small businesses, so I would go again. read more
