Tony’s Shoe Repair and Alterations

I purchased a pair of sandals at Aldos, but did not like the color, bone. I came to Tony’s to see if they can correct it to my preference, nude/​tan. I picked it up a couple of weeks later and they are perfect! friendly service, awesome job. Thanks Steve!

Came in with a weathered pair of Clarks Desert Boots that had seen better days, intending to get them resoled with Vibram (Tony’s is an authorized Vibram repair shop). Dude flat out told me it’s not worth it to spend that much on a resole when just replacing the boots costs the same or maybe even less. He recommended I spend a third of what I was prepared to spend and just repair the existing sole, and buy better boots (Goodyear welted) next time for a full resoling to be worthwhile. A few weeks later I picked up my Clarks and not only were they nicely repaired, but shined.
Sheesh, refusing money I was ready to throw at him. He’s either crazy or honest, or both, but either way I’m coming back with my future Red Wings.

Tony’s is about as professional as it gets! Steve was very knowledgeable, and personable. Steve not only had my blouse beautifully cleaned, and fixed the elastic on my sandals… but he unexpectedly was able to re-​shape the front of another pair of sandals, making them so much more appealing on my feet! This was a wonderful bonus that could only be accomplished by a professional who really knows their skill.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! finally went to pick my jacket and shoes after 27 days. dont get fool by this guy east cost phony accent and laid back persona it’s all upfront. doesn’t reflect his real business ethics. what happened? I went to his store 27 days ago to get my 2 faux leather jackets altered and my leather shoes repaired. I told him what I wanted to on the sleeves of the the jackets, shortened and possibly place couple buttons on the other. He said no problem and offered to actually place a zipper just like the other jacket, even better. I also asked to taper the trunk, he said no problem. so he gave a quote $ 20 for each jacket and $ 40 for the tapering and $ 35 for the shoe repair and gave a written receipt for the service I asked and charged me $ 60 deposit. sounds reasonable price. I asked when I could pick them up. he didn’t give me a specific date but said «dont worry i’ll take care of it and give you a call». ok? more than 1 wk passed no call from him so I called to check he said not ready may be next wk «I’ll give you a call» the wk came still no call so I called again, then replied it be ready tomorrow. I came for pick up. when I got there not all three were ready, only the jackets. I asked what happen to the zipper you promise, he said too difficult and complicated to do. you could call and inform me but ok this is what i had in front of me. i checked the work, one jacket ok and the other, the one he said he would put zipper look like i could done it my self, got a pair of scissor, cut and stitched it myself. so i asked to placed another layer of stitching so it looks nicer. he said ok no problem and i would call u when the shoes is ready, then charged me $ 100. few days after I got a call from him and told me the machine broke down. needed new parts. i would call you in few days. days passed no call from him so i called to check, he said the repairman brought the wrong parts. again he said he would call me. week after no call, at this point i had enough of his excuses. took another 2 calls finally yesterday he said «come pick up tomorrow» that took 5 secs. how hard was that to inform your customer what was going on. today charged me another $ 40, so i paid total $ 200 more than what worth the jackets. I tried to be reasonable with this guy and stated what he wrote on the initial receipt and he said «No it was hard job,» then should have informed me that you were having trouble and not saying «don’t worry i take care of it and call me back, which only happened once.
I’m reasonable when I do reviews and usually I don’t because they either meet or exceed expectations whatever product or service store/​merchant selling. I tried giving this guy credit but NO! he lost my respect! so guys TAKE YOUR BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE if you dont wanna go through to this guy B******T! plenty in the area.

As you walk into this small entrance, with limited nearby parking, be prepared to walk a block or two I was greeted by a friendly gentleman with the sharp Italian accent. I requested to have a pair of Gucci classic loafers stretched. He indicated that this is a routine practice and a number of entertainers get their outfits altered at his business. Was provided with a great consultation of the entire process. I was given a fair price. I picked up my shoes they were much more comfortable and treated with a chemical to prevent staining. They also repaired the designer Gucci handbag to the level of original production. Fantastic expert work!

Tony’s Shoe Repair is the best! I’ve been coming here for years. I’ve brought shoes to get fixed and clothes to get cleaned & altered. Steve’s very friendly and professional. I travel a lot for work and he always makes sure my clothes, jackets and shoes are ready for extreme weather. I highly recommend Tony’s Shoe Repair and Alterations.

I’ve been coming here for the past couple years and probably should have done this sooner. This time around Tony really came through. I needed a zipper repair on a travel bag asap and he was able to do it the same day, I was very satisfied with the results as well. He’s also fixed and cleaned up some black leather boots I had before bringing the travel bag and I was very happy-​its like I had new boots!

This place is awesome! The owner is super nice and professional. I brought in three pairs of shoes last week to add rubber soles because the original leather soles were pretty much destroyed. I was a little worried at first because they were very very expensive and very meaningful to me. Today I went to pick them up and OMG! The ruber soles are so nicely attached and he painted the edge of the ruber sole to be the same color as the edge of the original leather sole. Not only did he give me a VERY generous discount, but he also gave me a gift. I am very happy that I brought my shoes to Tony’s.
Additional info:
–Parking is super easy to find. You can just park on Myrtle Ave and walk there.
–Make sure you keep your receipt clean! Mine got water on it and the printing kinda disappeared…

I go here for all my dry cleaning. I’ve gone to other, cheaper places before, but at Tony’s I know my dry cleaning will come out looking fresh and clean every time!

I am quite short and needed two pairs of Rock Revival jeans hemmed to my height. I walked in and asked if they could do original hems (contrast stitching). I was told to try on each pair, and when I came out he quickly pinned them on one side (eyeballed, practically).
I was a bit hesitant leaving $ 320 in clothes here due to how quick the exchange went and due to the low price.
When i picked them up I was amazed at the quality. The pants literally looked as if they came from the factory. The underside was clean as well.
I will be using their services for my alterations and dry cleaning from this point forward!

I am so glad I found Tony. Since I only buy high-​end shoes and always need to put protection on them. His craftsmanship is perfect and neat. I’ve been coming here for the last 5 years. The most important thing is he charges reasonably. Thanks Tony!!!

Over the years, whenever I have taken my shoes to Tony, I have been very satisfied with the work he has done. I brought in my boots, and now they look as good as new with a new and higher heel. I had a pair of shoes that needed a polish with a color that is not easy to find — Tony had it! Tony is an excellent businessman and he always tells you up front what he’s going to do and the cost. It’s nice to have a dependable shoe repair business in your own neighborhood that you can rely on and know you will have great service.

Always excellent work! I’ve had a number of items repaired here. Also they do a great job ok dry cleaning. Plus, the parking right out front is easy and you have to love Monrovia.

The cleaners I go to had recommended me this shoe repair for my red soles. At first I was hesitant since the shoes are pricey so I had taken him the ones I needed work on asap (i needed to resole them) and he did a great job, even changed the heals for me. So I took him the rest of my shoes. He used the red sole Toby brand for my shoes. But he has other brands. Very fair priced job and quick. I told all my girlfriends about this place.

Fair prices, timely service, and a friendly owner who always seems happy to see me. Great place to get your dry cleaning done.

Don’t listen to neg reviews. Steve is a great guy and always has my clothes done on time. Even if there is a delay, it’s the real world, it happens.

I love the various animals in the shop. I know that has nothing to do with the shoe repair, but if people have and like and can live with animals, then they have to be okay, I like to think.
The first time I came in I was desperate because I had a wedding to go to and I needed the only pair of boots that matched my dress repaired STAT! He totally accomodated me when I whined about my dire straits. My boots were ready to go just in time and he even had suggestions about how to improve the shoe in other areas. Like just sewing down the annoying strap snap that kept coming undone. And the price was very reasonable.
A second pair of platform heels I brought in had a sole that had detached. Not only did he reattach the sole, he replaced the part of the sole with a rubber soles so I don’t have to slip and slid across the floor anymore. Loved it!
This place is also a dry cleaner and very conveniently located on Lime street in the Monrovia Village.

Been getting shoes repaired here for over 5 years! I use to work in area, then moved to Pomona… still came back here for show repair… moved to LA… still come here for shoe repair! My shoes are what I love and invest my money in! Tony makes my shoes look brand new and creates miracles after dog eating my shoe attack, heel breaks in the middle, and old shoes I can’t seem to let go of! He has repaired my heels, leather boots, wood platforms, and slip ons for work! I take my shoes here 2−3x/yr to be fixed, and never disappointed:-) $ 15 – 30 repairs, matters what if it’s repair or adding soles to shoes.
I also do my misc dry cleaning here, broken zippers, alterations, buttons, and typical cleaning of clothes. Everything always comes out great!
It can be costly, but I seriously take 7 pairs of shoes to get fixed and 8 misc dry cleaning to clothes. Def will come back, even if it takes me out of the way to get there;)

5 stars all the way!
I didn’t go here for their shoe repair, I went for their organic dry cleaning, and both the service and quality were excellent!
The owner (I’m guessing Tony) was a fun, nice guy with a huge personality. I dropped off 2 suit jackets to be cleaned and when i came back a week later (he had them ready way before then, i just got busy) he remembered exactly what I dropped off and found it without my ticket.
It was cheap (about $ 15) and the guy was great. HIGHLY recommend you use him for your dry cleaning needs.

Experience 1: One of my pairs of black pumps with incredibly soft leather got a tear in the leather in the toe. My mother took it to Tony, who did a pretty good job of repairing it and kind of polishing it up so that it didn’t look so obvious.
Experience 2: Bought a pair of shoes a size or so too big. Brought it into Tony, who lifted up the inside flap of leather and slid in a toe raiser and glued it back. Toe raiser thing was $ 5.50, total cost plus service = $ 7.
Seems like a skillful, competent dude with a pretty quick turnaround. I’d come again for any cobbling needs.
