Arturo’s Shoe Fixx

The best shoe repair in southern California.

I had a beautiful pair of louboutin boots, and they were destroyed from wearing them out! Arturo’s not only fixed up the soles and replaced missing studs, but the cleaning of the suede– I didn’t think was possible ! Looks like I have a brand new pair of shoes !!! I will definitely recommend, and worth the cost !!

I have taken my Louboutins, Rock Studs, Chanel, etc to Arturo and he has yet to let me down. My shoes always come back beautiful and they always last years. Neimans sent me to Progressive for my repairs because Neimans partners with Progressive, and therefore my repairs would be gratis. What I got from Progressive was a sloppy mess! They basically glued the soles on with Gorilla Glue and my shoes looked terrible. I will never stray from Arturo’s again! My opinion is that compared to the price I pay for my shoes, the repairs are not at all pricey, relatively speaking. One last note, the ass hats who have posted on both Arturo’s and Progressive’s Unilocal page regarding «being disrespected» need a swift kick in the ass. No one cares about how «disrespected» you were because the cobblers didn’t kiss your ass, or give two shits about how much your shoes cost. Literally, no one cares. Do you want your shoes repaired and/​or resoled correctly? Do you want to pick up your shoes and have them look good as new? Then go to Arturo’s. They are cobblers here to repair your shoes, not your assistant who lives and dies for you. That is all, carry on!

I have been taking my shoes and handbags to Arturo for more than 25 years. He is a master at his craft! He has exceeded every expectation. Even though he is in Beverly Hills, he does not overcharge and when he says something will be ready it’s ready. I highly recommend Arturo for all your foot wear and handbag needs. His staff is very accommodating, Friendly and the whole field is like being one of the family. Keep it up Arturo!

I love Arturo’s !!! I have being going for years — they always did a great job!!! I hope Arturo will keep on working for many years to come in good health — he is a true artist!

I love Arturo’s! They just made my favorite boots like brand new again.
I highly recommend.

This place is the best. I bring my high end shoes here to maximize their longevity. They’ve done an amazing job on all the shoes I’ve brought in… heels, flats, boots. They’re very attentive to the smallest details, tiniest scratches and scuff marks. They replace both rubber and leather shoe bottoms. I’ve yet to be disappointed. Customer service is also great. Staff are very friendly, helpful and professional.

Overpriced, sloppy, careless and snobby. I gave them 10 pairs of designer shoes to fix and clean for me and I could not believe how poor of a job they did for what they charged me. Avoid this place.

My puppy committed a horrible criminal act and decided to use my beloved Manolo Blahnik sandals as a chew toy. The heels were wooden, making the repair all that more difficult. I drove to Arturo’s in Beverly Hills from Pasadena as I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the repair. I had a pair of pricey heels repaired several years ago and was impressed with the work.
I picked up the sandals today a week later, and there was no evidence of the crime. Craftsmanship and attention to detail is par none. Arturo is 89-​years-​young, and is always there, working away.
Was the repair expensive, yes… but it was absolutely worth it as no one else in Southern California could do the work Arturo’s does. Word of warning, do not lose your claim check. There are no computers and it’s cash or check only.
Hopefully my puppy has stopped her criminal activity on my shoes, if she hasn’t, I will be seeing Arturo.

This place is so insanely Italian, I’m surprised they don’t serve Negronis at the door.
The guys here are the absolute best — every project is done with extreme care and professionalism. They’re very friendly and can do a range of alterations.
Side note: it smells really good in here… that fresh leather & shoe polish smell.

Ari and his team always do a great job!
If the shoe fix isn’t as I like it, Ari will take care of it :)
CASH ONLY!!!

When my Givenchy purse broke three years back, I took it everywhere in New York looking for a fix. A custom metal pin in the handle had broken, and no one was able to replicate it. Barney’s couldn’t recommend anyone, and Givenchy in Paris had no more copies of the pin to fix it.
I shipped it out to Arturo’s, in the hopes that my old go-​to in LA could do the job. Lo and behold, it was fixed and shipped back to me within two weeks.
When it broke this time around, I sent it straight to Arturo’s. It came back yesterday, another perfect job

I went in to have a additional hole punched into my Gucci belt. I stood there for over 5 minutes without being acknowledged. Then to add insult to injury… another customer walks on and the owner assists her first. Horrible service!!! Do not go here. 5he service sucks!!!

This shoe repair shop works fast! I stopped in with two pairs of shoes, and 10 minutes later both shoes were shinned and the gentleman at the counter was pleasant and professional.

I have now taken four pairs of shoes to this shoe repair location. My shoes were ready on the day and time that was mentioned and in the condition if not better than what was promised. I’m beyond impressed by their ability to repair my shoes. I took in two designer dress shoes for my husband, a pair of heels and flats for myself. I brought a pair of heels in that we’re beyond needing a cleaning and they were able to bring them to their original condition. Thank you! This place isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for, it’s worth it when you consider the original price of the shoes.

I’ve had several pairs of shoes and a purse repaired and/​or cleaned and each experience was very positive. From inexpensive sandals to pricier pumps/​purses I’ve always been pleased with the results.
Definitely pricier than your average shop, might be because of location, reputation, or both. It was a convenient stop as I used to work half a block away, but even now I’d still drive over if I needed shoes or bags repaired. I’ve referred friends and family as well.
The best results I had were a pair of nude suede pumps that were ruined after a night out — $ 25 later they came out looking almost brand new. Another time was my beloved olive green lamb skin bag. I had spilled a few drops of water and it stained. They were able to clean it in a strategic way and it looks wonderful.
The reason it didn’t earn 5 stars is that their business hours are limited and they are more expensive than average.

Arturo’s is gd and you’ll agree once you see his work for yourself! I was recently referred to him by a friend… I took in a pair of beige YSLs that were stained/​scratched but were in semi-​good condition. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to get them cleaned or dyed black. He told me if I dyed them, they would look much better, so I took his word and had him dye them black. When I went to pick them up, I couldn’t believe those were my shoes. I could have sworn he switched them for a new pair at the ysl store across the street. They look and smell so brand new that I’m almost scared to wear them! Thank you arturo :]
So happy I trusted his judgment and can’t wait to take my other things to him!
Attached the photo so you can see for yourself.

Arturo and his staff/​family are wonderful. Drama free, get in, tell them what you need and get out. Come in, pick up and leave. No crazy lines, just simplicity at its finest. He took all kinds of things while I was there, like a stained red leather D&G mini skirt, the color was amazing and he took it and said he would do his best?! And a white leather D&G jacket with black scuffs on it from how someone packed it. My shoes were resoled with leather and a rubber heel to avoid future wear down like I had this time. He did an amazing job. They also cleaned the inside linen lining of my Gucci bag, spectacular. And yes you pay for what you get, quality cost. My fix it shop!.

Arturo and his staff are amazing. I’ve been coming here for 12 years and they are
consistent. I trust them with my Choo’s, Louboutin’s, Chanel’s and etc.
They ROCK. Period.

Back in January of 2009, I had taken a pair of black peau de soie shoes in since it looked as though somebody (me) had spilled chalk or baby powder onto the top. Since it is fabric and not leather or something more simple for myself to clean, I took it here to see what they could do for me. Less than $ 10 and not even a week later, I was treated to black shoes again! Now of course come February, someone steps on my foot as I’m wearing them, but that is not Arturo’s issue. At least I know where I can go to get them cleaned.
Fast forward to 2013: one of the bottom parts of another pair of heels has detatched, and I was wondering why I was limping around. Once again, I’m taking them to Arturo’s where I was surrounded by women who held Louis Vuitton bags and Louboutin shoes as I clutched my 2003 Kenneth Cole’s. Nevertheless, the reps still made me feel worth their while and again, less than a week (even with Christmas day thrown in), I have a great pair of repaired heels.
I highly recommend Arturo’s for any of your shoe needs, and apparently, handbags as well.
